AOpenOffice 4.1.4 install → LinuxMint 18.x
Posted: Mon May 29, 2017 7:26 am
Current download source for AOO 4.1.4: https://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/install/41x/
AOO 4.1.3 does not work properly on LinuxMint 18.x Mate. It is only possible to start satisfying work as a root, not as a regular user.
AOO 4.1.4 has not got this trouble.
The harder way: OpenOffice instead of LibreOffice
What to do if you de-install LibreOffice:
Run the following command in the terminal:This -s will show you all packets to be deleted. The problem: You would also delete needed packets for other use (enhanced system integration of LibreOffice). You might copy the result into an editor or redirect/save as a txt file.
Do not erase the following packages (depends on the language and "flavour" of your mint installation, e.g. Cinnamon, Mate...):
You may erase these packages (command in one line):
After that you may start the installation process. You have to use the terminal for the DEBS folder and additonally the desktop-integration folder:
The easier way: install as parallels
Use the information of https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Ins ... n_parallel
This kind of installing is quite easy; you do not have to run the terminal's command on the desktop-integration folder, only the DEBS folder.
Before you run the program edit the bootstraprc file; so the initial start of OpenOffice will generate the profile folder there where you wish it should be.
Later you can connect the soffice file (in folder program) with some types of files, e.g. odt oder ods.
Good luck!
