With the recent "update," I'm not getting calls that users can't even get into OO. I now have the same problem. 'Hope this gets fixed ASAP!!

Do you still have the problem?

I believe that he has. He was not aware of the splitting of the different parts of the OpenOffice_org package. MOST of us were not. When MAJOR changes, as this was, are made to packages, these changes need to be broadcast in prominent locations, such as this list. This was not and is not regularly done. The knowledge only becomes available after many people have many problems with a package that "used to just work".

The list is not enough:

agreed, definitely! but it's a start :^)

many people think of asking somewhere, after they get "the problem".

It would be better if the installer gave some warning, like a popup, same as the kernel does.

this is a VERY good idea! - -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn4472 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHBCLmClSjbQz1U5oRAj48AJ41WoU3Sfb92XnJxmh66gLSxkmcTQCePUWB 15fkjfbdtkggNzNiiVjg0Rg= =Lhnj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I will probably be installing 10.3 very soon. First, what do I have to do to make OO work like it always did.

?? If you mean dl'ing and install, the packages have been split as discussed on *this* list in the last 10 days. Either search the archives for the listing or install "webpin" and do a search for "OpenOffice_org" for 10.3.

Second, what do I have to do to keep the files that I downloaded onto 9.3 from KMail, short of recording them to a CD or DVD, if that that not possible?

Move them to a partition on your hard drive that you will not allow to be formatted/over-written during install. - -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn4472 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHBEJxClSjbQz1U5oRAnPzAKCh5ZGGRvNkA1w5fEgLMdeE1vHPPgCaAxmY VwjMiseIoHCnzdocHGWfzMo= =oQny -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Good idea. Well, I have added the Supplements dependency and YaST started to install the app subpackages (calc, writer, ...) by default. So, it should solve the main problem. It works only in the OpenOffice_org:UNSTABLE project now. I'll add the dependencies to the STABLE project ASAP. If it is not enough, I'll try to add the popup. I hope that it is possible also in the Build Service installation source. -- 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
