 |
|
| I downloaded the tar.gz file from the Open Office site and attemped to follow the installation instructions but I am very new to Linux and the instructions seemed to be aimed towards experienced users. If someone could give me more detailed instructions on how to correctly install OO that would be great! |

Which Linux distribution are you using, and what exact package did you download?
Once we know that we will have more idea what you need to do next. |

| I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, sorry I should have mentioned that! I went to the OpenOffice.org site and clicked on the "I want to download Open Office" link and the file automatically downloaded. If it helps any the name of the file that was downloaded is Apache_OpenOffice_incubating_3.4.0_Linux_x86_install-rpm_en-US |

First of all Ubuntu uses DEB packages, not RPM. You will need to go back to the OOo site and download the DEB version.
Download the package to your desktop, then right click on the package and select "Extract Here".
Now open a terminal and enter | Code: | | cd ~/Desktop/en-US/DEBS |
Then
Enter your password when requested, then the actual installation will start.
Now install the desktop integration package by opening the "en-US" folder on your desktop, then go into "DEBS", then "desktop-integration", and double click on the only file in that folder and follow the on-screen instructions.
You can now delete the original package and the extracted "en-US" folder from your desktop. |

Now that I take a closer look was it trying to install a 64-bit version onto my 32-bit OS? |

It looks like everything went smoothly but then I tried installing the desktop integration file and got this error | Quote: | | The installation of a package which violates the quality standards isn't allowed. This could cause serious problems on your computer. Please contact the person or organisation who provided this package file and include the details beneath. |
