Open Office 2.0.4 troubles

[minthaka]

I've dowloaded the newest release yesterday. It's a stable version. It consists of cca. 30 RPM's. The problem is, I would call "Circular dependecy failure". I've uninstalled the previous, bundled version of OO. And after tried to install the new packages. Started with core1, and found it requires core2,3,4,5... Tried with core2, the answer is it requires core1... I've tried to ignore dependencies, and I succeeded. But, the newly installed version needed the bundled language independent part, and after the Office crashed each time I've tried to close a document. What do you think about it ?

Did you try to get yast to resolve the dependencies for you?

[minthaka]

I don't know how to do that. Please tell me !

[smolloy]

I think if you right-click on the rpm you can select an option to have yast install it for you. Yast should then figure out all the dependencies and do everything for you.

No, Yast can't help me. When I do right-click..Install with Yast... it asks for password and opens nothing. It simply does nothing with my RPM's.

Try it with konsole (or whatever terminal you use). This worked for me (without the quotes of course):
"cd (to folder containing OOo rpms)
rpm -Uhv *.rpm"
and stand back and watch!

Thank's Pete.
It works now, still I cannot manage to uninstall the old (bundled version) and to have the new working. The problems I wrote about were caused by extendedPDF, wich is breaking the OO. There's a bug in it.

You should be able to uninstall the bundled version inYast. Find the appropriate entries and "untick" the boxes, then click "Accept".

But if I do so, the icons of OO2.0.4 are disappearing from KMenu/Office.

Look again in the OOo tar ball. In a subdirectory there is an rpm called openoffice.org-suse-menus-2.0.4-2.noarch.rpm. Do the same instruction with this and you'll have your icons back in the menu.
