HOW TO: update to the latest OpenOffice using launchpad repositories

[zika]

when I try openoffice I get:

$ openoffice
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice: 237: /usr/lib/openoffice/program/../basis-link/program/pagein: not found
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice: 254: /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin: not found

when I try sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org-gnome I get:

$ sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org-gnome

But do you have open office installed or not? Can you use trough the terminal? Type "openoffice". Perhaps you simply have a problem of organizing the menu...

Sorry if you have already tried that and the comment is silly...

I get:

:~$ openoffice
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice: 237:
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/../basis-link/program/pagein: not found
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice: 254:
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin: not found

yes I have tried this several times, but, no, no comment is silly, thak You.

I am having the exact same problem as you Zika - did the upgrade a couple days ago and my Openoffice 3.0 just disappeared from my Ubuntu 8.10 menu. When I try to look at it using Synaptic, the packages are still installed. When I try to run it from the command line I also get :
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice: 237: /usr/lib/openoffice/program/../basis-link/program/pagein: not found
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice: 254: /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin: not found

And I didn't have the openoffice.org-gnome package installed.

Does anyone have a fix or an idea when the repository will be back up?
Why did the menu get wiped as well????

I updated open office to 3.0 time ago, today I try to open Base to made a work and IS NOT THERE :S
I go directly to synactic and found that there is no base 3.0 there only the 2.x

I'm using the repository posted here. (http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main)

how to get Base 3.0?

This PPA crapped out for me too. Back to whatever the ibex default is for now. Subscribed.

They have been down for a full week.

If someone still has the source from the PPA then they could build it... but OO.org takes forever to compile. I'm guessing OO 3.0 was intentionally removed due to a program-stopping bug after the last update they did.

[snowpine]

Be patient... OO3 will be back soon once they release 3.0.1 which fixes some sort of gnome-related bug.

Or you can download it from openoffice.org.

The worst part is by removing it from the ppa they broke a lot of tutorials posted on these forums and elsewhere.
