I am using fedora 8 on a acer laptop. I have installed openoffice from a rpm file. I also got a rpm for desktop integration. Everything installed without any complaining.....but I can't see any links for the openoffice on the applications menu. I can start impress, writer etc from /opt/openoffice-2.0/programs dir but not otherwise. Can I get the desktop integration done ! thanks in advance nishith

Quote:why didn't you just use yum to install openoffice ? Yeah I think yum would have been better. Any way I am using GNOME and the rpm downloaded and used was inside OOo_2.4.0-LinuxIntel_install_wjRE_en-US.tar.gz. The tar file was unziped and then I used rpm -ivh *.rpm. It reported all was fine thanks in advance nishith

Well since its an /opt install .. you could just remove it and go back to yum? Other than that you will need to make yourself some Icons and then put them manually into your menus.

okay the issue got resolved on successive reboots on it's own. Probably one needs to reboot after the instln of desktop integration rpm completes ?!?!? Leaving this around for novices like self nishith

Hello, It was more likely you needed to reboot your X server, you could of just hit Ctrl + Alt + Backspace |
