Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Fedora 14 and Libreoffice

Hi :)
1. Someone using Fedora was getting an error that stopped LibreOffice from 
opening.  It was grumbling about Report Builder so someone suggested he/she just 
avoid installing the report builder.  Errr, i don't know about the rest and 
there is not a problem in Ubuntu so don't worry about it.  Ubuntu prefers Deb 
rather than Rpm.  You don't need to use the alien format so don't ;)

2.  Some people prefer the version that has been tweaked especially for their 
favourite distro whether that is Ubuntu, Fedora, Mageia or whatever.  Others 
prefer the latest new toys.  If you have trouble with one way then try the other 
;)  You don't seem to have any trouble with either route so you have a free 
choice.  


3.  A lot of people don't like the 11.04 and have done things such as staying 
with the LTS or the 10.10 or moving to Mint or trying something completely 
different or just happy to wait for the 11.10 which might be 'better' since 
Ubuntu's implementation of Unity might have settled down a bit.  Other people 
love 11.04 and can't see what the fuss is about.  I'm mostly staying with Ubuntu 
10.04 LTS although have got a few on 10.10 for the extra newer wireless 
drivers.  11.04 didn't work well for me either [shrugs], just like the 8.10 
didn't but the 9.04 did.  


Regards from
Tom :)

------- one -----------

I did not see the other message[s] in the thread, so the question for me is: 
"Why do you need to install LO without Oracle's Report Builder"?  Is there some 
install issue with that extension?

Also, since it is locked, how do you uninstall it with the Extension Manager?

Can you un-archive the download files from LO's web site, then remove the Report 
Builder file from the install files there, and then install LO?  Or, would you 
get some install error when the "controlling" file looks for the Report Builder 
install file and since it does not find it, the install is stopped?

I use Ubuntu, not Fedora, so I do not remember if you would use RPM install 
files?

------- two -----------

Then there is the ongoing question of why people keep telling other to use 
Repository versions instead of downloading the install files from LibreOffice?  
I use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and the repository version of LO is really old.  So I 
have to install the LO download, instead of using the repository.  At least I am 
not forced to use Firefox 6.x that is the default 11.04's repository.

------- three -----------

[off topic]
Why I have not upgraded so far.
I have not gone to 11.04 due to a "default" monitor resolution change from 
10.04/10.10 to 11.04.  My monitor the max resolution of my video card and 11.04 
uses that for the default resolution install.
