Hi Juan,

I use ubuntu 10.10, which contains openoffice for default, so I had to

occurs the problem.
Are you ready to envision the "upgrade" to 11.04? I say "upgrade" in
quotes because my own experience with upgrading left me with a
somewhat broken system due to the roll-out of the Unity GUI as a major
change to Gnome (not an issue for you if you're a KDE or XFCE user). I
ended up totally backing-up and re-installing my system, but then
everything was back to normal.

Then you'd have an Ubuntu-integrated LibO and might have resolved the
problem. If not, you might also post to the Ubuntu user's list, too,
to see if anyone has any ideas.

But I'm not sure what issues might have crept in with the
installing/de-installing of the PPA version and installing 3.4.2 over
the top. By the way, if you install 11.04, you'll get 3.3.2, which is
not the leading edge like 3.4.2 but is perhaps a better bet for you.

Actually, Ubuntu was to have the option to continue to use GNOME instead of Unity GUI. I have not "upgraded" to 11.04 since there seems to be a monitor issue with my flat screen. So if you install 11.04, then make sure you "turn on" the option of using a different GUI, plus make sure GNOME is installed via the Package Manager, you should be able to choose which GUI you want to use during startup. I did this with 10.xx when I was trying out the use of KDE instead of GNOME. When I was at the login screen, I was given the option for which GUI I was to use for that session. Actually, I found that I could use GNOME and use some of the KDE packages if both are installed.

To my opinion, what I have read, and seen the screen shots, I do not like the look and feel of Unity GUI. SO when I get the monitor issue solved [different monitor maybe] I will go to 11.xx and make sure GNOME will be my default GUI.

As for PPA versions of LibreOffice, I would rather download the packages that are on the LibreOffice site and install them instead of using PPA versions. It just makes sense to me that way. If all else fails, then you will have to use Ubuntu's repository version.
