[opensuse] OpenOffice questions
I'm running OpenSuSE 10.2. I installed initially from the box DVD. Although I installed linux 64 it intalled OO 586. All the upgrades worked ok. Even I got one of the last ones with nice green gecko splahimage. The last upgrade broke the installation and I could not load OO. Then I saw a thread here and I went and I realized many of the necessary packages for OO were uninstalled. I reinstalled them and also this time I tried the 64 version of OO. Everything is working very well (build 2.3.0.1.2) Here the questions: 1. Why opensuse dvd install 586 initially when the OS version I was installing was 64? I assume it was not available at the time is that correct? 2. Will I miss anything using the 64 vs the 32 version of OO? 2. Why the green gecko image you see when you loaded is not there any more? Now is the boring blue one. I know those images are changed with new versions but the green gecko did not last very long. How can I get it back.

The 64 bit OOo is very much untested. You are supposed to test it, and then find and report the problems. There was a mail these days from the maintainer about that. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Carlos, Thxs. It seems to be working very well and also it feels faster at least to load. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

There were still some important issues in the 64-bit OOo when we released openSUSE-10.2. The recent 64-bit versions are in a very good shape. -- Best Regards, Petr Mladek software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: pmladek@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 952 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Will 10.3 x86_64 ship with the 64 bit version of OpenOffice? -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Here the questions:
1. Why opensuse dvd install 586 initially when the OS version I was installing was 64? I assume it was not available at the time is that correct?
It was not stable enough. Check bugzilla for more info.
2. Will I miss anything using the 64 vs the 32 version of OO?
Not sure exactly what you mean here.
2. Why the green gecko image you see when you loaded is not there any more? Now is the boring blue one. I know those images are changed with new versions but the green gecko did not last very long. How can I get it back.
I believe it is just a file. openintro_suse.bmp in the program directory. BTW, here it is green. Do you mean you want the blue back? If so replace the above file with the old one. It is just a splash screen, only on the screen for a few seconds with 2.3 (nice job OO team). But this is Linux, where you can have it your way if you prefer. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

ok, I am seeing the blue splash screen on my opensuse 10.2, 32bit, OOorg 2.3 updated from the stable repository. The blue one wrongly claims to be OOorg 2._1_, btw. . I also get the blue "about-screen". Now how can I get the green suse bitmaps back that are also there in the program directory, but seemingly they are not used? I mean other than copying the suse bitmaps to the names of the nld bitmaps? I assume I need to delete my OpenOffice_org-nld-2.3.0.1.2-2.1 rpm for this ? thanks and regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Eberhard, In my case I accidentally also marked openoffice nld Novell Linux Desktop and is the one that come with the blue splash. So remove the package. I am sure you installed both like I did and that's why you have both images. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
