It’s the help (even though, basic, it may be to you) of contributors like Alan that will allow the rest of us to cross this bridge over to this supposedly superior OS.There is no doubt that automation will play a growing part in the future of networking. And for Ed Jolanski’s comment – your sneer-over-your-glasses-perched-on-the-tip-of-your-nose attitude reflects exactly why not everyone is flocking to Linux: too many of you glory in your geekiness and in the fact that only those of you who live and breathe this stuff can ever get it to work. I’m sure the other method is great, but right now I’m not quite sure how to “tar -xvfz” anything at the moment – I’ll get there eventually, but I’m just barely poking my little penguin beak out of my hatchling shell at the moment. The GUI-based way via the Software Sources box worked for this Ubuntu newbie. The simplest way I found to rectify this, was to simply turn off the PPA repos by removing the tick from the relevant boxes in the Software Sources manager. This morning the auto updater wouldn’t run because of a conflict with the OOo packages I installed from the PPA. If for some reason the update manager star doesn’t appear then just open a terminal and type:īehold, 3.0 on Intrepid Ibex. , which it then downloaded (about 95Mb) and installed. ![]() Running the update manager showed me the updates available, e.g. Once I did this, the “Updates Available” star appear in the top panel of Gnome. To install software and updates from newly added or changed sources, you have to reload the information about available software. You should then be asked to reload the package manager database: Make sure the two new lines have the checkbox ticked (see screenshot above) and then close the Software Sources application. Cut and paste the following line into the boxĪnd then click on the “Add Source” button to save it. So the following might work but, as they say, YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary).įrom the menu choose “System->Administration->Software Sources” and enter your password if asked.Ĭlick on the Third Party Software tab and then click on the “+ Add” button. ![]() The original method (below) also worked for me but I am not using it any more and am still getting lots of hits to this article so I thought I should update the information. John’s method seems quite straightforward and works for me. Sudo aptitude purge ‘~3′ĭownload the debs from the OOo site and tar -xvfz them. To get rid of the release candidates I’ve installed previously: I would strongly suggest that users follow John McCreesh’s suggested method he described in the comments below. I am not sure if this repo is still maintained for Intrepid. I’d love to hear from anyone if they do try it though. I don’t have a Hardy (8.04) install to hand any more and so I don’t know if this PPA will work for Hardy users or not. Please remember this is for Intrepid Ibex. It certainly gives one a great reason to not have to upgrade, at vast expense, to MS Office 2007.Īnyway, thankfully some bright spark has built the required packages on a PPA (Personal Package Archive) on Lauchpad making install as easy as adding two lines to your package manager’s source list. I think for many the support for Microsoft’s OOXML format on OOo 3.0 will be the major new feature. The new Mandriva 2009 release has it and that was released last week… It’s a major upgrade to OOo and has appeared 2 weeks prior to the 8.10 ship date so I think it would make a good candidate for inclusion. It may get added later, but personally I think it is a shame if it will not make the release. Unfortunately, according to a bug on Launchpad, OOo 3.0 will not make it into the final release of Ubuntu 8.10. One thing I wanted to do today, was upgrade to 3.0. You can read about the main additions here. Ibex certainly boots faster than Hardy, the update to Gnome 2.24 is most welcome with new features such as tabing in Nautilus, and a major update to the Network Manager applet. I have been using the forthcoming release of Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) since the Alpha 5 testing version the same time I built Lobsang.Īpart from a few early glitches with the Nvidia graphics drivers and some printing issues, my overall experience with Ibex has been excellent and as we are now in the beta stage it should only get better.
