Cant install openoffice 3

Asked by swift240

Hi all using Ubuntu 8.04 with all updates.
I tried to install openoffice 3 today with no luck.

I dowenloaded openoffice no problem to home folder

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

no problem then

cd desktop-intergration

no problem

then sudo dpkg -i *.deb

I get this error

mike@mike-desktop:~/OOO300_m9_native_packed-1_en-US.9358/DEBS$ cd desktop-integration
mike@mike-desktop:~/OOO300_m9_native_packed-1_en-US.9358/DEBS/desktop-integration$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
dpkg: regarding openoffice.org3.0-debian-menus_3.0-9354_all.deb containing openoffice.org-debian-menus:
 openoffice.org-core conflicts with openoffice.org-unbundled
  openoffice.org-debian-menus provides openoffice.org-unbundled and is to be installed.
dpkg: error processing openoffice.org3.0-debian-menus_3.0-9354_all.deb (--install):
 conflicting packages - not installing openoffice.org-debian-menus

mike@mike-desktop:~/OOO300_m9_native_packed-1_en-US.9358/DEBS/desktop-integration$

I can not get passed this and no longer sure what to do.
It just will not integrate the menus.

TIA,

Mike.

I've got the same behavior. And guess what ? Just continued using without having menus integrated. :) Openoffice 3.0 itself works Ok. Have you ever tried to start it after that ? What've happened ?

P.S. Now I have simultaneously 2.4 (opening my .odt etc. files by default) and 3.0 (have to start it manually and open files from it's menu).

I usually install/upgrade developement release of OpenOffice 3.1 (it works) doing this from terminal:

sudo apt-get -y remove openoffice.org3 openoffice.org-base openoffice.org-base-core openoffice.org-core oobasis3.0-*
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo rm -fr /opt/openoffice.org3 /opt/openoffice.org
cd
wget http://ftp.linux.cz/pub/localization/OpenOffice.org/devel/DEV300/DEV300_m38/Build-1/OOo_DEV300_m38_LinuxX86_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz
tar xvzf OOo_DEV300_m38_LinuxX86_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz
sudo dpkg -i DEBS/*.deb

sudo dpkg -i DEBS/desktop-integration/*.deb
killall gnome-panel
rm -fr DEBS

cd /opt/openoffice.org3/program
./soffice

Hope this helps

If you want install a stable release, try to do the same but with stable release of OpenOffice 3 change the wget download address... or download the install file with browser... from:
http://download.openoffice.org/contribute.html?download=bouncer&product%3DOpenOffice.org%26os%3Dlinuxintelwjre%26lang%3Den-US%26version%3D3.0.0

Hope this helps
