scarecrow Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Just for the record, Go-OO 3.1.0 is official, and it does work quite well (have not tested yet its mono integration). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Also with 3.0.1 when you export a document containing formulae to pdf, some of the characters get mangled, even though they still look fine in the odt. Have they fixed this in 3.1? The answer seems to be no. Unless this is a separate problem, now I don't get those funny "eastern arabic" numbers but I (intermittently) just get squares instead. (Those squares should be 4 and 2). Must be a related problem. The only solution seems to be to carefully check every equation of any pdfs you make with Open Office, and if any of them look screwy then just generate the pdf again - lather, rinse, repeat until it works. This bug has caught me more than once now and it can be quite embarrassing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xboxboy Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Scarecrow, I am only doing the update now as I have been doing some big assignments and didn't want to run the risk of borking my Oo install. I have extracted the rpms, and gone to the desktop-integration folder and deleted the rpms other than the mandriva one. Now for removing the default Open office install? I'm not sure how to go about this correctly. Can you lend a hand? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 You can do something like this: rpm -qa | grep -i office to filter all packages installed for the ones including office. You can then get a bit more definitive with the list once you know a generic identifier for all OpenOffice packages. Let's assume openoffice.org: rpm -qa | grep -i openoffice.org and see if that lists all the openoffice packages and only the openoffice packages. Once you are sure it does, by comparing both the lists in case we filtered out an openoffice package. Then, you can do: rpm -e `rpm -qa | grep -i openoffice.org` which will then remove all packages by parsing the results from the rpm -qa command. I cannot stress that you must be careful about this, which is why I did the results first with the first two commands to make sure I didn't create a list of packages that I wanted to keep. Of course, once you run the rpm -e command, check the list of results to ensure you have what you need. I'm sure you can also use the gui tool for removing packages, and filter for openoffice.org in here also, and then click and remove what you want. This is how I normally do it though, so it's just a suggestion. Go for the gui if you prefer it to console. Once removed, you can then install the rpms you downloaded.

ianw1974 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 The last command didn't work in your last post because of this ' quote instead of this ` quote. Try it again, then verify that you removed those packages, by doing: rpm -qa | grep -i openoffice.org it should produce zero results if the command removed all those packages correctly. Command again is: rpm -e `rpm -qa | grep -i openoffice.org` to remove them. And yes, you're missing a lot of packages, which is why you can't install. Compare your directory listing against the rpm ivh command you ran before, and you'll see why. openbasis-calc is one for sure, you'll see the rest when you see this doesnt appear in the directory listing. So either what you downloaded is incomplete, or corrupted in someway. I'd suggest downloading again just to make sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the download, I will have another go, and see what happens I guess. Thanks for the help! Edit: My previous downloaded file is 25mb. The file I'm downloading now is some 173mb, so yes, I have a issue there. Current version coming down the line now.

ianw1974 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 The quote marks are allowing you to parse the results from the command, passing it to the rpm -e command. So it's quite handy when you want to remove a bunch of packages based on a specific filter :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xboxboy Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Thanks guys, I have it installed and operating. When running the command: rpm -ivh *.rpm Which directory should I be in? .../Desktop/OO_rpms/OOO310_m11_native_packed-2_en-US.9399/RPMS/desktop-integration I ran the rpm command in /RPMS and it didn't appear in the menus. So run the mandriva rpm in /desktop-integration and now I have menus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
