Ooo upgrade to 2.0

**Dalani** · 06-17-2006

Code:

$ soffice
bash: /usr/bin/soffice: Permission denied
$ sudo soffice
sudo: soffice: command not found

Could it be that a config file must be run first???

It would be better to specify the exact path to it:

Code:

/usr/bin/soffice

If it doesn't work, you can try to start it as root (just to see if it works, don't use this program, or any other as root) :

Code:

sudo /usr/bin/soffice

or

Code:

gksu /usr/bin/soffice

If it still doesn't work, please the output of

Code:

ls -l /usr/bin/soffice

same thing

Code:

$ ls -l /usr/bin/soffice
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 39 2006-06-16 22:51 /usr/bin/soffice -> /etc/openoffice.org-2.0/program/soffice

I even tried

Code:

sudo /etc/openoffice.org-2.0/program/soffice

command not found!??? 'stie! (BTW Im in MTL also)

I think you are ready to upgrade to Ubuntu 6.06

Ok mark this solved for installation. I got the solution from the folks at the Ooo support forums. What was wrong was that alien was messing up user perms. Executing with sudo this chmod operation solved it.

Code:

chmod a+xr /opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice

Hey In the meantime yes I did order the Dapper Drake CDs. If it will run on my old Pentium2 with 196megRam, we' ll have an install party! thanks again dude

Yes, you will at least be able to run the XFCE4 desktop. In comes in a package called "xubuntu-desktop", that you can install like that :

Code:

sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

My guest is it will be faster than Breezy, even if you use Gnome (comes with Gnome 2.14, which is very much faster than 2.12).
