Hello all.
I am having problems installing Open Office 3.0 on my ubuntu desktop. I believe I broke something, so I will detail how this came about.
I wanted to try the new KDE4, so I followed the steps outlined at this website (http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde). Pretty much, consisted of editing repositories and typing in "sudo apt-get install kde-desktop."
I didn't like KDE, so I uninstalled it using the method outlined here (http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome).
Now, I can't get Open Office to install. I've tried "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org," but I get an error. The error can be viewed here (http://paste.ubuntu.com/79595/).
I've tried installing ubuntu-desktop, even using "sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-destkop" but that has not worked.
I've tried installing from the .deb source, using the instructions at this website (http://www.akemapa.com/2008/11/21/install-openoffice-3-from-source-on-ubuntu-linux/), and I get no error, when installing, but also no Open Office.
This is my source.list file (http://paste.ubuntu.com/79604/), the one that apt-get is using.
I've made sure to use "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade."
Any help is greatly appreciated. I would like specifically to:
Purge the system of any and all Open Office installation files, and related files. Then, I'd like to be able to install Open Office.
Thanks!
Hope you guys can help.
