Re: Ubuntu Linux by DevotedOne(m): 7:28pm On Jan 09, 2014 |
I wanted to know if anyone is running 'Apache Openoffice' 4.0.1. I'm having trouble installing it. I had it on Ubuntu 10, and it was no problem. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 (precise), presently. It opens Archive Manager, then 'extracts' files, but I'm not able to use these files (??). What kind of problem is this? http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html (using text editor/word processor) I am also interested in "Notetab Light" another text editor, but it needs 'wine' and when I checked 'synaptic package manager' there was several packages named 'wine.' Which do I use? Or, should I install all of them?? http://www.notetab.com/notetab-light.php 'Linux in conjunction with Wine' Thanks, in advance for your replies. |

Well, I couldn't wait I suppose. I found the answer to the Openoffice, problem Here: Problem Solved The problem with Wine, will take a while to solve, I would think. Of course, any suggestions will be welcomed. |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Nobody: 11:07pm On Jan 09, 2014 |
Why not LibreOffice i used it at school and work, works well |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by 4llerbuntu(m): 1:17pm On Jan 10, 2014 |
DevotedOne: Well, I couldn't wait I suppose. I found the answer to the Openoffice, problem Here: Problem Solved There is an application called Libreoffice. it comes pre-installed with Ubuntu. it works better than Openoffice or any other word processor native to linux. it is also better supported. you are advised to stick to using this. for text editors, there is an application called Gedit that comes pre-installed. it does everything a proficient text editor does. its also native and well supported. what does this notetab do thats so special? Is there any special reason why these applications are not sufficient for your needs? As for WINE, since your proficiency with the OS is limited i suggest you stay off it. unless the need is compelling i don't see why you need it. you probably cannot even configure it to work properly. |

Re: Ubuntu Linux by pc guru(m): 11:07pm On Jan 09 I use LibreOffice, but it was always acting up, it seems to me. I couldn't get use to it. I had suspected that this OS, Ubuntu 12.04, was not as proficient as Ubuntu 10.1(?). I had some new update packages (50), installed yesterday, and I'm using LibreOffice, today, and it does act a little differently now. I'll give it some more tests and then decide. |

Re: Ubuntu Linux by 4llerbuntu(m): 1:17pm LibreOffice, and Apache Openoffice, I see as a matter of choice. I've used Openoffice, for years with MS windows, starting with 1.0.1, I would think. I've also used it with my previous Ubuntu upgrade, starting with Ubuntu 9.(?). I think LibreOffice takes a bit of getting use to. It's looking better today since updating, but it has given me plenty trouble in the past. For a while, I thought it had a mind of its own. It would shut down any time it wanted to, and I would have to start over again. Gedit, I use regularly. I have no complaints, regarding it. Notetab, I've also used for years, with MS Windows. The thing is that, I have a different use for each editor. Openoffice, MS Works, I've always used for heavy writing/composition. Notetab, I prefer for copying, making notes, adding/trying code, etcetera. I also, use AbiWord, but it has been troublesome as well, this time around. Wine, I've found some information for, but I'm hesitant to go for it. I don't find Linux, to be friendly towards some type downloads. Synaptic package manager has several different wine packages. This site has one or two that I would be interested in. http://www.winehq.org/ |

uzoexcel: or better still as devotedone said, u can still install ms word using wine....i installed ms office through wine recently and its quite alryte..not noticed any errors for now though i havnt tried with 'heavy' documents...seee a snapshotYes,MS Office can be installed using wine but it is not fully functional as you would expect on Windows. You'd find your saved files located in one of the wine folders as well. There are usually bugs report dialog popping up at times demanding for solutions. Not only that when but you do your updates you might experience some changes to the entire system that might affect it in the future. MS office is not meant for Linux architecture all rather operating system. Wine has tried to provide good experience of Windows software by it is not as perfect as you would expect. PlayOnLinux even does it better. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Ubuntu Linux by Nobody: 12:06am On Jul 24, 2014 |
uzoexcel: That's precisely wat I mean..is there a special way to me play on linux recognise my usb deviceYes it can! It's not like in Windows where Microsoft Office license is required. Just copy it to the USB. As long as the USB is recognized by your Ubuntu OS the MSO can be installed in PlayonLinux. I don't have the time of posting step-by-step instruction procedure for that now. I would do that later for you. 1 Like 1 Share |
