Re: [libreoffice-users] starting Base - works for me

Hi,

As I understand it, Mint uses the Ubuntu software center. The default LO 
install in Ubuntu does not include base. If the user wishes to have base 
installed, you would add that to the Ubuntu installation from the 
software center. If I install from a direct LO download from LO, I have 
all of the programs listed below in webmaster-Kracked_P_P's post. In 
Unity, there is a launcher bar on the left side of the screen. The top 
button on the launcher bar is called dash, which has multiple uses. One 
use is to show the installed applications. When I do an upgrade, I 
completely remove the old install using the terminal, and then do the 
new install in the terminal. I use the following commands (This is for 
the 64 bit 3.5.5.3 from LO):

Download LibO_3.5.5_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz to the desktop.
Right click on it and extract it to the desktop. This will give you the 
folder LibO_3.5.5rc3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US
Run the following terminal commands to install it:
1. sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*.*
2. sudo dpkg -i 
~/Desktop/LibO_3.5.5rc3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/*.deb
3. sudo dpkg -i 
~/Desktop/LibO_3.5.5rc3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.5-debian-menus_3.5.5-3_all.deb

After this install, all of the applications below will show up in Dash. 
To add them to the Launcher bar, simply drag the icons for the ones you 
want to the launcher bar and place them where you wish to have them. 
I've never had any issue with opening any of the applications.

I read several days ago that Unity is now available for Fedora and for 
Mint for those who would like to have it.
