On Ubuntu 11.10 synaptic is not
installed by default. So if doing a clean install, simply
get it from the software center. If you are doing any
upgrade from 11.04, it should be there. To open it in 11.10,
click on the Dash button and type in syn and it will be
there to run. You could add it to the launcher. When 11.04
came out, I was reluctant to move it from 10.10 because of
all of then negative things I had read. But I decided to
since if I was going to be continuing to use Ubuntu, that is
what I would need to learn. The Unity had some quirks, but
over all wasn't too bad. I learned to really like the
launcher bar. When I would go back to a machine with the old
desktop on 10.10 after several months, it felt antiquated
and old fashioned. 11.10 is smoother, works fast, and I am
most pleased with it. It isn't perfect, but significant
progress has been made over 11.04.

Unity looks good, sometimes, so I have been

sure those desktops are installed and set them as the
default. Everything I have read, and heard, makes me
fee that will be my only choice, once I get my monitor
issues fixed so I can install 11.xx. It may be worse
with Win 8 and its "Ribbon" style of desktop. Good for
touch pads but not of desktops. That menu form is what
many of "my" MSO users would not go beyond MSO 2003 or
switched to OOo and then LO.

Hi :)
Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
It might be easier to try to uninstall things
using the package manager while LibreOffice is closed.
Perhaps the lock is due to LibreOffice being open?
In Ubuntu 10.10 and earlier try the top taskbar
and click on
System - Administration - "Synaptic Package
Manager"
I don't know how to do that in Ubuntu 11.10 or
11.04. If you are using one of them then perhaps open
a command-line / terminal-console and try
gksu synaptic
to open Synaptic?
Either way once open the sesarhc tools should help
you find the extensions. I would search for
"libreoffice" and then click the top of the column that has
the green splodges in it that indicate packages that are
installed. Hopefully that will get all the installed
packages, extensions and all to the top so you can just
scroll down to find the one you want.
The package manager ususally searches in
descriptions as well as titles so a straight-forwards search
might just give you the right thing straight away but i'm a
bit pessimistic about that sort of thing ;)

Hi,
I installed lo-menubar from the Ubuntu
Software Center
which is said to
provide a Global Menu rather than a
program-specific one.
While the installation is successful and the
extension
works as stated, I
would like to disable or remove it because I
now realise
that it does have
"*Windows*" as part of the Global Menu.
There's File, Edit, View, Insert, Format,
Tools, Help ...
but no *Windows*.
I'm used to relying on *Windows* and then
opening a new
window of the same
document. Additionally, LibreOffice would
remember how I
arrange two Windows
and open the second window just the way I like
it.
Since Windows is missing, I have to work
around by going to
File, New
Document which I don't like.
When I look in Tools, Extension Manager, I see
three
extensions listed:
Copy Visible cells (which I had installed on
LibreOffice
3.3 / Natty and
which has been retained during the upgrade to
11.10)
menubar (installed via Ubuntu Software
Center)
Script Provider for Python 3.3.0 (which seems
to have been
there by default
since I didn't install it)
The last two, menubar and Script Provider have
little locks
next to them.
While the first, "Copy visible cells" has a
disable/remove
option, the two
with locks next to them don't. So it looks
like I cannot
disable or remove
menubar unless someone helps me!
