I installed OpenOffice2.3.1. I thought that after installation of this version the previous version will be automatically upgraded to new one. When I checked About in the Help I found out that the version is still old (2.0.4). What is an easy way to replace the old version.

Thank you.

How did you go about upgrading? The latest rpm on the Main Updates
repository is 2.2.1.

If you downloaded and installed from the open office site, the
command names such as oowriter, that Mandriva uses, will no
longer work.


Open Office would have been installed (by default), in /opt/openoffice.org2.3/
with two files created in /usr/bin/
$ ll /usr/bin/openo*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 59 2007-08-30 13:47 /usr/bin/openoffice.org2.3*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 56 2007-08-30 13:47 /usr/bin/openoffice.org2.3-printeradmin*


cat /usr/bin/openoffice.org2.3
#!/bin/sh
exec /etc/openoffice.org2.3/program/soffice "$@"
$ cat /usr/bin/openoffice.org2.3-printeradmin
#!/bin/sh


exec /etc/openoffice.org2.3/program/spadmin


Try running "openoffice.org2.3", from the command line. IF that
works, you'll have to update the menu entries, to point to the
new program.

Inzalo,

I did not find anything in /usr/bin/
Only in
/opt/openoffice.org2.3

:confused: What did you find in /opt/openoffice.org2.3 ?

I have to come back to you on this one. Will reply soon!:)

*******************

I unistalled both versions and installed openoffice.org2.3 from RPMS. According to Installations Steps from download: Instructions for Downloading and Installing OpenOffice.org 2.0 (http://download.openoffice.org/common/instructions.html#linux) I should "cd to desktop-integration. Depending on your package manager/system, install the appropriate desktop interface" but how to do it?

Thank you

inzalo,

I've figured out how to upgrade to 2.3
Thanks a lot.

May I ask you how configure media player to play stream? I think I got all the codecs and plugins.

Hi,
Great!
Did you install all the codecs and plug-ins?

I think I got all the codecs and plugins. Is there any way I can check it?
