[opensuse] Upgrading OpenOffice 2.0 to 2.2
Hi all, I have tried to upgrade from OpenOffice 2.0 to OpenOffice 2.2 but when the dependencies are being solved, it says that plenty of programs must be removed, between them, some kde games and many other that appereantly have no relation with the OpenOffice suite.... I dowloaded the rpm from the Open Office additional yast repositories... any idea? Thanks, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
in my case with GNOME, I just ignore all dependency, otherwise it would remove GNOME :P Next install OpenOffice from rpm, reboot your system and all should be fine Hans Fernando Costa wrote:

There is something wrong then... ignoring dependencies will break your RPM database... that's not a good thing. You should be able to install OpenOffice without breaking things... technically it should not have any dependencies on KDE games etc.... If I remove OpenOffice from my computer, the ONLY dependencies it has are on itself... as in if I remove OpenOffice_org the only dependent apps that are removed along with it are OpenOffice_org-Quickstarter and OpenOffice_org-kde..... nothing else. Did you guys install OpenOffice outside of YAST using a meta package of some kind.. maybe from something like konvenientSUSE? And... why would you reboot after installing OpenOffice?

yes, it looks pretty bad. but i did it and now running quite well. there is a file name openoffice.org-suse-menus-2.2-9153.noarch.rpm which would tie up everything back, i guess. Clayton wrote:

openoffice.org-suse-menus-2.2-9153.noarch.rpm comes from the official OpenOffice.org RPMs... not from the Novell build correct? C -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

When you update your kernel.. yes... otherwise???? Especially not when you install OpenOffice. If you need to reboot after installing or updating OpenOffice, then something is horribly wrong...

hehehe i dont think that far since i m just a user, not an expert in linux. I m quite happy i can live without microsoft and other expensive software. in this case, i m just sharing some of my experience. A reboot for me is not a problem as long as it works ;) Clayton wrote:

When you decide to use xgl? And other times when it crashes. Admittedly, not many. Lynn. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

When I went from 2.0.4 to 2.1 I just added ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/OpenOffice.org/10.2-x86_64 to installation sources in yast and chose the new version. It pulled in some java stuff but no reboot was necessary. Just out of interest, what features o ooo are you looking for that are not available in the 2.0 suse version?

I added the repositories in yast and the upgrade was done without problems. Not looking any features, I'm just an upgrade frikie... :-P F primm wrote:

I've personally found that sometimes upgrading software simply for the sake of upgrading only brings in new bugs while adding no new useful features or improvements. This has especially been the case with OpenOffice.org, and to lesser extend with KDE bug fix / stability releases. I've found myself upgrading working stuff less and less often. Now I'm back on OOo 2.0.4, as it seems the best compromise for the time being. It isn't Emacs-stable, but it isn't KWord either. It has its issues, but nothing too serious. Tero

Why reboot? The only software change that requires a reboot is the kernel. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Mmm... There is a little known detail. When you update something from rpms, often there are services and programs that need to be restarted, because they keep using an old version of libraries that were updated, but as the programs were started previous to the update they keep using the old version. This a feature/side effect of *nix filesystems (files in use are not really deleted). You can detect those files running this after an update: lsof | grep -E 'RPMDELETE|;|path inode=' Of course, knowing which programs or services need to be restarted, and doing so, is enough. But not knowing which are those, a reboot is an alternative. An overkill, but it works when you don't know what needs a restart. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Thanks, I updated the repository to point to office. Then I just updated the open office application.
