similar to: Trying to get up and running with Open Office beta

Okay, I tried installing OpenOffice beta, and I think I messed it up, so I wanted to uninstall it. I thought wilcards worked, so I tried: [root at localhost program]# rpm -e openoffice* error: package openoffice* is not installed Okay, so I couldn't figure out how to remove a bunch of RPM packages at once, so I did this: [root at localhost program]# rpm -qa | grep openoffice And

Okay, I experimented with both KDE and Gnome, and decided I'd rather use Gnome. After making this decision, I wanted to remove KDE, because I like to keep my hard drive as lean as possible. I accomplished this, or so I thought, by running: # yum groupremove "KDE (K Desktop Environment)". It seemed to work. Removed a whole bunch 'o stuff. Okay, but then I wanted to install k3B,

During yum update my box crashed (I frequently have this on Centos 4 x86_64 boxes) ---> Package kdebase.x86_64 6:3.3.1-5.8 set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: system-config-printer = 0.6.116-1.centos4.1 for package: system-config-printer-gui --> Processing Dependency: glibc-devel = 2.3.4-2.9 for package: nptl-devel --> Processing Dependency:

I did a little googling for this, but only found meaningless references, since pin has too, too common other meanings. Is there a way to pin a version of a particular package with yum/rpm? I have the rpms for the beta 2.0 version of OpenOffice installed, so I'm not interested in the updates for OpenOffice 1.1.2-24.6.0.EL4 which are now coming in. Is there a way to instruct yum to ignore this

I was just wondering if anyone here knows why the OO.org packages on RHEL/Centos are so huge. Eg. On Mandriva 2006: 40834529 OpenOffice.org 113064600 OpenOffice.org-libs 20124669 OpenOffice.org-help-en 19976941 OpenOffice.org-l10n-en = ~185MB On Centos 4: 683298379 openoffice.org-i18n 124072694 openoffice.org 111894560 openoffice.org-libs = ~876MB!! When I say 'installed by default' I

This is one of those questions that seems to be soo obvious to people that no one feels the need to have an explanation anywhere. I've been looking around the net for ages, and I can't figure out what, on Linux, is actually a program. I've downloaded OpenOffice 1.9 Beta, and would like to run it. I go to the /opt/openoffice.org1.9.122/program/ directory and... then what? What do

Has anyone here replaced the openoffice.org packages with those that were distributed with FC3? It's either that for me or simply scrapping CentOS in favor of FC3 (or even FC1). I'm very surprised that I can find no reports regarding the impossibility of formatting multi-page spreadsheets to print properly.

I had a corrupted installation of OpenOffice.org 3.1. When I used "yum remove openoffice.org-core" the response was "package openoffice.org-core available but not installed", but then, when I used "yum install openoffice.org-core there was a long list of Transaction Check Errors. I then removed openoffice.org3.1-redhat-menus-noarch which was in the errors. Here's the

Having used Open Office 1.9.x on the XP side of my box, I decided to install it on the CentOS side. (The default OO was 1.1.2, for heaven's sake!) I downloaded the Linux 386 version from the OO site. I immediately ran into problems-- 1) The installation instructions were for OO 1.x. 2) The download appears to be source RPMs. Although I've used UNIX & Linux for over 15 years,

I would like to take the time to inform people that CentOS-4.4 will contain some major changes. The changes are significant enough that I would like to spell out some of them now, probably at least a month before the release of the upstream "EL4 update 4" is released. The Mozilla Suite (Browser, Mail, Chat clients) will be replaced by SeaMonkey. This is due to Mozilla's change in

Hi all, I'm trying to write up some recommendations for what graphics formats are most useful for inclusion into ms office and openoffice. There have been a few discussions on the list in the past, but I haven't seen a summary. These are the options I've seen so far, along with there costs and benefits: * high-resolution (600-dpi) png output (or tiff or jpg or other raster

Hey dudes, Nice work by the CentOS team in giving us arguably the best distro in the world. When is update 3 coming out? What changes are expected in it? The reason i ask is that i applied the openoffice.org 2.0.1-1 rpms and now WINE is not playing so nicely. It may be a good time to re-wipe the system and reinstall update 3 from fresh ISO's. some of these "goodies" from upstream

Hello Boys and Girls and Everybody. I have recently started using a Macintosh computer to replace the dinosaur of an unbelievably unreliable PC that I have been using for the last 10 years. So far I have been very pleased. I have been using OpenOffice for quite a while now as I find it is mostly superior to Microsoft Office in many ways, HOWEVER - OpenOffice lacks the Voice Recognition Software

Hi, I removed the openoffice 1.1 release from my system (kernel 2.6.9) for install the full OpenOffice 2.1. But after trying to start the new soffice, nothing happen. (may be java problem ?) Could someone help me ? Regards? __________________________ Ce message (et toutes ses pi?ces jointes ?ventuelles) est confidentiel et ?tabli ? l'intention exclusive de ses destinataires. Toute

Attempting to build OpenOffice 2 on CentOS 4 from rawhide (future FC5) SRPM. The spec file has EL4 target (which is nice), and I got almost all dependencies in place (mostly from 4.2beta and some from rawhide). However, I'm missing the ant package. Ant from rawhide doesn't compile since it is already gcc 4 based (fails on dependencies, getting it to use gcc4 instead of gcc seems like

I am trying to use R2HTML (just downloaded from CRAN) to paste R (2.6.0) results output via the clipboard to OpenOffice Writer and Calc (version 2.3on WinXPPro) Pasting into Excel gives a formatted table of results (as expected), but pasting into Calc simply pastes the HTML code. Trying paste special only gives an option to paste unformatted text. Equally, with Writer, in the past when I tried

Here is the output from yum -y upgrade without the error parts... Its odd because it updated all of these first time round. I have dared reboot the box yet, for fear it won't come back up...

Everyone, I am trying to print some *.doc files from the command line with openoffice on centos 5.5 with using cups as the print server. I can open the file from the command line with open office and then print it manually from the gui, but when I open the file and print from command line I am not getting anything. The commands that I have used are the following : /usr/bin/openoffice.org -pt
