(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Even it will be announced only next days, OpenOffice 3.2 stable is already out

I made two sfs ( a pet version is planned) for 3-xx-4.2xx series and for 4.3.xx.

I added 4 dictionaries (En-US, German, French, Italian, plus English surnames dictionary) for spell checking, so you don't need to install. This sfs version has no java in order to make package smaller

- OpenOffice 3.2 sfs 3 version for Puppy Linux 3.01-4.2.xx and 4.3.xx with 2.6.21.7 kernel
- download

- OpenOffice 3.2 sfs 4 version for Puppy Linux 4.3.xx with 2.6.30.5 kernel
- download

other openoffice releases on dokupuppy page:

you can see my sfs compatibility chart for furhter informations about sfs puppy compatibility trough versions

Thanks for the sfs

With the SFS for 4.3.1, I see links to the various programs, but no icons...where are they located? In lieu of that, where can I find the script that brings up soffice to allow only one desktop entry?

Thanks

Thom

icons are in /usr/local/lib/X11/ it seems I forget to edit .desktop files in /usr/share/applications Sorry for forget, I'll try a delta file for fix, maybe or I'll reupload the whole sfs

for your needs I can make a delta patch with only one link (with icon) pointing to soffice app

Either the delta file or the new sfs would be fine(I think a new sfs would be simpler).

Or...for crazies like me, maybe a howto place the soffice link with icon on the desktop.

Whichever is the easiest for you.

Thanks
Thom

Downloading now. Is it actually zipped, or does it just need re-naming?

hi DaveS I think he zipped the sfs files so that the server would allow him to upload the files

no, simply unzip (I'm buying a premium account on other filehosting allowing all filetypes and direct links, without zipping, meantime I use ziddu why, at least for my account, created two years ago) files are never deleted and this is very important for puppy users)

Ok, thanks guys.........

Hi Dingo

I just wanted to thank you for the OpenOffice 3.2 sfs 4 version for Puppy Linux 4.3.xx with 2.6.30.5 kernel

It worked like a charm. I was having trouble getting Openoffice3.2 to work after downloading it as a Pet Package. Everything installed fine just wouldn't work. So I tried yours and it did. No desktop Icon but not a big deal. The main thing (to me) is it works.

Thanks again
Mike

Dingo,

THANK YOU for OO 3.2

Using your sfs with the "Puppies 4.3.1" puplet which was derived off Puppy 4.3. It was necessary to rename the sfs "_431" >> "_430", otherwise the sfs loader wouldn't see it. That sorted out, it was flying (still up in the air).

Great job, thanks again!

JR

PS - Desktop Icons:
A non-expert trial & error but nonetheless working method.

• right click on one of the OO 3.2 desktop icons >> Show Location
  /opt/openoffice.org3/program will be shown in new window
  right click sbase icon >> File 'sbase' >> Set Icon ...
  set icon window will appear
  open /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps >> right click on binoculars in toolbar >> scroll down
  drag and drop openofficeorg3-base.png onto set icon window
  repeat for other five OO 3.2 icons
  Menu >> Shutdown >> Restart X server
