lost openoffice.org

[bradleyporter]

I have recently converted to Ubuntu so am experiencing what I hope are the usual teething problems. open office was working fine until I need to open a .pub file. this meant downloading Scibus. However I then found I couldn't open any of the other open office applications. I tried re-installing it from the synaptic package manager and later downloading it from the site - to no avail.I have since tried going to the terminal and loading the following...mv .openoffice.org2/ old.openoffice.org...which didn't work either. Any suggestions?

You could try:
sudo apt-get remove --purge openoffice.org
and then:
sudo apt-get install openoffice.org

Just curious if you downloaded via Synaptic or from their website?

Hope you get this fixed for yourself... Good luck.
