[Solved] [Python] OOo2.4 on Ubuntu 8.04

[follencavale]

Hi there,

I'm having troubleshooting using OOo2.4 on Ubuntu 8.04.
I can't run python macros. In fact, i can't even see them in the macro selector window : I can't find the "HelloWorld.py" in the OOo macros library. However, the file does exist in this following path : "/usr/lib/openoffice/share/Scripts/python/HelloWorld.py".
Do I need some special library or so?

Greetings from France,

Run this in a terminal

Code: Select all

dpkg --get-selections | grep -i openoffice 

You may be missing the python/pyuno package for OpenOffice.org.

Hi Andrews, thanks for your answer.

Here's what i get :

Code: Select all

$ sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep -i openoffice

openoffice.org-base-core			install
openoffice.org-calc				install
openoffice.org-common			install
openoffice.org-core				install
openoffice.org-draw				install
openoffice.org-gnome				install
openoffice.org-gtk				install
openoffice.org-help-en-gb			install
openoffice.org-help-en-us			install
openoffice.org-help-fr				install
openoffice.org-hyphenation			install
openoffice.org-impress			install

openoffice.org-style-human			install
openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-au		install
openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-us		install

Do you see something missing?

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get install python-uno

>> It means "python-uno" package is already set up.

Is there someone using OOo 2.4 who's able to get python macros? If so, i think it may be an Ubuntu 8.04 issue.
Thank you.

Just a recommendation since this is not the only issue with Ubuntu's version of this office suite:
[Ubuntu] Installing OOo on Debian and Co.

Thank you Villeroy.

I uninstalled the ubuntu version to set up the original version.
It works fine.
