How to start OO after install?

Post by ruud00000 »

I installed OO3.4 after deinstalling LibreOffice with Ubuntu software center.

No errors until depackaging the .deb in directory desktop-intergration.
Error-message:
ruud@TABLET-UBUNTU:~/Downloads/nl/DEBS/desktop-integration$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Selecting previously unselected package openoffice.org-debian-menus.

Fouten gevonden tijdens behandelen van:
openoffice.org3.4-debian-menus_3.4-9593_all.deb

After that I deinstalled with command sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*.* which found some more to be removed.

Then trying above again I got following, which looked fine to me:
ruud@TABLET-UBUNTU:~/Downloads/nl/DEBS/desktop-integration$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
[sudo] password for ruud:

However I stil don find OO among the installed programs in Ubuntu software center. Should I find it there now or should I look somewhere else to start the program now?

Hi and welcome to the forum!

You should find it in the applications list. I use Gnome 3.6 and I just have to type "open" to have the list of the AOO components (once you've hit the hot corner). Don't remember how it works exactly with Unity.

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

The OpenOffice components should show up in the Office folder (where LibreOffice components formerly lived). I use Classic Gnome.
