help-Reinstall OOo in 10.04

[th1bill]

I messed up! I see that libreoffice is to replace OOo in 10.04 and in the article from the linux forums newsletter got me interested. I issued the suggested commands and it installed the libreoffice suite but it had serious depedency problems.

I uninstalled it and unchecked the ppa in other software dources but I cannot reinstall, either from synaptic nor with apt-get install.

The error msg looks like;

I located the article instructions that got me into this mess, it is;


As a multiplatform application, LibreOffice will run on Windows, Mac or Linux. The download page does provide RPMs, but no packages for Debian/Ubuntu users. Fortunately there’s a PPA, so Ubuntu users can just open a terminal and enter:

1.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
2.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libreoffice

Alternately, you can also add its unofficial repository to your sources.list,

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Add the following to the end of the file. Save and close.

Launching

If LibreOffice does not provide menu icons, you can launch it manually with

I've got exactly the same problem.

I've attempted to install libreoffice along the same instructions. Instead of installing in parallel it uninstalled openoffice, failed to install and prevents going back to install openoffice again.

I found a solution: Uninstall the 'ure' packages, then disable the libreoffice ppa. Then you can re-install openoffice.

Thanks for the help! I also had to uninstall/update/reinstall uno-libs3.

I spoke too soon! My icons and themes in OOo are all stock, instead of the Ubuntu branding. I cannot seem to locate the correct package or proper way to set in from within OOo. Any help is appreciated.

I have the same problem.. after re-install openoffice, all the icon is old...

[Sallée]

Found it:

sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-gtk

Found it:

sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-gtk
