Hopefully things went smoothly on your end. But if not...
I am going to need to go take care of other tasks. In the meantime, I am going to put in here a walkthrough, though a bit old, that covers OpenOffice as a terminal install. That way, you only need to follow the lines, one at a time.
It's better to Uninstall LibreOffice, first. You can skip this if you want to, but there will probably be conflict between the two if you keep both.
- Code:
sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice* libexttextcat-data* && sudo apt-get autoremove
I removed Libre on my other machine completely and have not bothered to replace it. It's an autodiagnostic machine so has no need for any office bogging it down.
- Code:
cd /tmp
This changes your directory to the temp folder
- Code:
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/4.0.0/binaries/en-US/Apache_OpenOffice_4.0.0_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz
That way, the above will put the download in tmp.
Next,
- Code:
tar -xvf Apache_OpenOffice*.tar.gz
To extract it, like before.
then to install:
- Code:
sudo dpkg -i en-US/DEBS/*.deb
A bit like I suggested above in the post about starting over.
For the desktop-integration (Where you had the error in Gdebi)
- Code:
sudo dpkg -i en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/*.deb
After doing all of the above, reboot and then check if Apache is where it is supposed to be.
