Hi guys.
Three days ago, I've updated Openoffice 3.0 in Ubuntu 8.10, and now I can't open any document, created or blank, nothing to do...
I've this repositories:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main
Reading the forums, I've tried to delete Recovery.xcu in ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office$ but didn't solve the problem.
Current version I've is 1:3.0.0-6ubuntu0intrepid1
I need Openoffice today for work , anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Openoffice 3.0 upgrading problem, eternal recovery screen
Is this a backport released by the Ubuntu folks? If you need OOo so urgently, just install the official verion 2.4.1 of your distribution and everything should be fine. There are no indispensible new features in version 3.3.0.0-6ubuntu0intrepid1

Thank you for your fast responseIs this a backport released by the Ubuntu folks? If you need OOo so urgently, just install the official verion 2.4.1 of your distribution and everything should be fine. There are no indispensible new features in version 3.
It isn't the Ubuntu release, but I need version 3, so I can open some new Microsoft Office documents people send me
I work -today I'll must work too- with that documents, and Openoffice 2.4 opens a blank document...
Any other idea? Thanks again!

Re: Openoffice 3.0 upgrading problem, eternal recovery screen
OpenOffice.org (at least the original by Sun) can read those pesky file formats called Office "Open" XML, stolen and adulterated from OpenOffice.org's truely open XML formats.
For colaboration you need to convert them to the old binary MS formats anyway (.doc, .xls).
http://zamzar.com provides a service to convert that crap into many usable document formats, such as ODF.

To install OOo 3.0, see here: [Ubuntu] Installing OOo on Debian and Co. Delete your OOo user profile (see [Tutorial] The OOo user profile) and don't import your personal data when asked by the welcome process.

Thank you very much, guys!
I remove all openoffice.org packages, remove my profile, download deb version from www.openoffice.org, and all right with this version.
Thanks again!
