[SOLVED] OpenOffice upgrade broke the whole thing!

[CyberAngel]

After installing OpenOffice 3.0 in KUbuntu 8.10, I got the "unexpected error". Removing the /home/.OpenOffice directory did not help. I then uninstalled en reinstalled OpenOffice using Adept to no avail.

Next, I tried "sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org-kde" from the command line. Perhaps, Adept wasn't removing everything, I wondered? It occurred to me, however, that using this command only about 300 Kb was going to be freed. After apt-get had finished, all of the links to the OpenOffice suite were still in the menu.

However, clicking on one of them, started OpenOffice without any "unexpected errors". I now have a working OpenOffice 3.0 in KDE, but I don't understand what happened, why it is working and what was actually removed...

The openoffice KDE integration has been removed... That`s all.
Now it look quite ugly.. Isn`t it?
Huge letters on the menus...
Weird colors...

Yes, it has a unique look...
I managed to reduce the font size (Tools/Options/View/Scaling)
At least the neighbours from across the street can no longer read along...

Oops. Spoke too soon. Still getting the error.
It seems to want to open a new document, but doesn't quite finish, so when I click the Writer icon again, it begins a document entitled Untitled2. The firstborn document Untitled1 is still half there in memory, though, and he wreaks havoc sometimes when - in a jealous rage - he tries to wrestle control over Untitled2.

Old:
Amazing. Thanks for the answer. My Oo 3.0 is very happy now, though I'm not sure what happened. And, I see no ugliness!

I installed openoffice.org-kde from debian repository. Seems to work and is integrated with kde.

I took the package from: http://http.at.debian.org/debian/poo...rc1-2_i386.deb

After the last upgrade the problem with the "Document Recovery" has been fixed but I found another one when I`m installing the package openoffice.org-kde

I can open documents and everything but when I`m trying to export a pdf or save, then openoffice is freezing (Sometimes the whole plasma shell)!

Anyone else has a similar behavior?

When I unistall the package openoffice.org-kde everything is normal again including the ugliness of openoffice

I am using KDE 4.2 RC1 from the kubuntu-members-kde4 repositories.
