[Solved] Problem installing on Mint

[NickReplay]

Hi,

I'm very new to Linux, tried installing OpenOffice through command line and got this error:

Code: Select all

nick@M1 ~/Downloads/OOO330_m20_native_packed-1_en-GB.9567/DEBS/desktop-integration $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Could someone help please

Thanks

My previous experience with installing OpenOffice on Ubuntu (and Mint is close to Ubuntu) was that one needed to remove every trace of Ubuntu's distro of OpenOffice (and subsequently Libreoffice) before Oracle OOo would successfully install. I suggest you use Synaptic to remove the core module of LibreOffice (possible name something like LibreOffice-core) before attempting to install OpenOffice.

Ok so I removed LibreOffice & installed it:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Note that once LibO has been removed, you can install it from the vanilla version (the .debs from their website). This way, you can use both applications at the same time.

Just saw your post. Now do the same in the desktop-configuration folder in the /DEBS folder. See also [Ubuntu] Installing OOo on Debian and Co.

Please add '[Solved]' at the beginning of your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

do the same in the desktop-configuration folder in the /DEBS folder. See also [Ubuntu] Installing OOo on Debian and Co.

Have you read the tutorial?

5. Update the Applications menu
Go to the desktop integration subfolder.

Code: Select all

cd desktop-integration

Run again the previous installation command.

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Here you are, menus should have been updated.

NB: please use the BBCode for code when posting the terminal output. I've modified your post.

There is still a LibO package delivered by your distro.
Make sure there is no LibreOffice package with 'ubuntu' in the version number (in Synaptic).

Ahh, thought I'd removed all of LibO but there were still a couple in there...

Removed & all working now, thanks for your help

Good news: This post in the Linux Mint forum shows that OOO installation has gotten a lot easier now:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/office
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openoffice

This is what I did to have OpenOffice run happily on Mint 14. LibreOffice is still there, too. I manually changed the file associations by right-clicking a .ods file (or whatever) in Nemo (the file manager), selecting 'Properties', and changing the setting in the 'Open With' tab. Maybe there's a quick way to update all file associations, but I haven't found it.
