Where to install openoffice? [solved..duh]

I did a pacman -S of openoffice-en and on first run it wants to copy files somewhere.  I'm running as non-root so I don't have permissions to put them in /opt/ or /usr/bin/ or /usr/share/ or anything. At the same time I'd like to avoid installing it in my home directory.  What are my options?  Should I run it as root first?

You should let it write the files in the home directory. I usually put a dot in front of the directory name, so it will be hidden.
It's just writing some configuration files, I think. This is just what most other programs do, without asking first

    There was some updayts for my iPad 4 automatically downloaded. After installing it, the iPad began to restart itself every few minutes.
    I tryed to update my iPad using iTunes. After connecting to MacBook Pro, where is installed all latest software, iPad is recognised as "iPad", Serial Number: n/a. iTunes run recovery mode, trying to restore iPad firmware, and in the end unknown error occured (3). Tried many times, not results. And now iPad stays only in recovery mode, can't switch it off.  How can I solve this problem please?

    When I restart my iPad the connect to iTunes comes up and stays on until it shuts down again, I have read a report from Apple support suggesting I reinstall iTunes so I might try that again and also your suggestion which i shall also try, but thanks again - rg1547

  • Install OpenOffice SDK on Leopard.

    Hi all, not sure where to post this .... I've run some searches and it might be worth mentioning that by "SDK" I'm referring to OpenOffice.org_SDK - nothing to do with iPhones. I installed OpenOffice with no problems, so it's not an issue with that. Having said what the issue isn't, let me say what it is I want to install a perl module called OpenOffice::UNO using CPAN, but the install fails with the message "The environment variable OOSDKHOME is not set, please set up the OpenOffice.org SDK enviornemnt by using the setsdkenv_unix.sh script or similar." So it looks like I need to install OpenOffice.org SDK. I've downloaded this as a .dmg and it contains 2 folders, "LICENCEs" and "OpenOffice.org3.2_SDK". No package object. does anyone know what I need to do next, I can't find documentation for OS X covering this? TIA, Terry.

    Since it's an OOo issue, it's probably best to ask in the [OOo forums|http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum>. It looks like the [Macros and UNO API forum|http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewforum.php?f=20] might be where you want to post.

  • I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to..  When I've tried to download and install again

    I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to..  When I've tried to download and install again it says that the "Object Already Exists."  It may exists, but it is not visible in the file or in my list of programs on the Startup Menu.

    You should not have to uninstall Premiere Elements 12/12.1 in order to install and run Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer unless your computer is overloaded and the computer resources are compromised. Just use one program at a time.
    Can you still use 12/12.1 on this same computer that will not let you use 13?
    What specific Window operating system are you using?
    Let us go through the usual drill...
    1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
    3. Did you install the program with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    4. Disable the SLCache Folder found in Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
    Local Disk C
    Program Files (x86)
    Common Files
    Adobe
    and in the Adobe Folder should be the SL Cache Folder that you delete or disable by renaming the Folder
    from SLCache to SLCacheOLD.
    5. Are you running the program as Administrator and is the latest version of QuickTime installed on the same
    computer as Premiere Elements 13?
    Let us start here and then decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Where to install Thunderbird on Mac OSX for multiple users.

    Hello,
    I would like to install the email program Mozilla Thunderbird on my Mac OSX (10.4.6) computer which is set up with several different user accounts. I am not sure where to install it so that everyone may be able to use it. I would like to install it once so that everyone may use it rather than installing it multiple times (once for each user).
    As you might already know, in Mac OSX when you install a program in the main applications folder, it is available for everyone who uses the computer (available to all accounts). However, the trouble is, that although the actual Thunderbird program is available to all users the profile is not. The profile obviously is an important component of the Thunderbird mail program as it contains all the actual mail messages. When Thunderbird is installed, by default the profile folder is placed in the users home Library folder at:
    users home folder/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/<Profile name>/
    This location make it impossible for other users to access the profile and therefore Thunderbird will not work for the other users.
    What should I do?
    I have a couple solutions, however I would like to ask for some advice on what others do in this situation which I am sure is fairly common.
    Here are my solutions:
    1. Move the profile folder to a custom location that is accessible by all users in OSX such as the global Library folder (rather than the user's Library folder). Path of global Library folder:
    /library/
    Then let Thunderbird know it was moved to this custom location using Thunderbird's profile manager.
    2. Try to figure out a way in mac OSX that allows the profile folder at this default location:
    users home folder/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/<Profile name>/
    to be accessible by all users.
    Ownership and permissions need to be changed for the profile folder maybe?
    3. Install thunderbird multiple times - once for each user - each with their own profile. The problem with this is then there will be multiple installations of the same program and they will not be able to share the same profile folder - which is what I would like to do - if possible.
    I have a feeling that solution 1 is the more logical solution.
    PS I am using Mac OS 10.4.6 (Tiger) with Thunderbird 1.5.0.4
    Thanks for any advice.

    Yup, its me again Always seem to have a question for the group
    Thanks Mulder and Scott! I am sure glad I asked for your advice. I am completely new to the multi-user environment of OSX - as you can tell. (I guess I am still in OS9 thinking mode where there was only one user.)
    Scott wrote:
    "Mail can be configured to download any new email, but not remove it from the server until it is removed from the Mail application. This way, the email can be downloaded to multiple clients across multiple accounts."
    Interesting. Thanks for pointing this out Scott. Good to know. This would seem to me to be similar to IMAP in some ways. This would be a good way to work in a multi-user environment. This is good info to be aware of.
    It sounds like an interesting way to work.
    Thanks to both of you for steering me aware from the difficulty of attempting to place the profile folder outside the home directory. This sounds like it would have been more work than necessary.
    Why am I not using Apple's Mail program? Good question. I thought I would try out Thunderbird for a while - and maybe switch to Apple Mail later - just to see which one I prefer. I am a web developer and I have always liked the open source community and I thought it would be beneficial for me to become as familiar as possible with all the Mozilla products (Firefox and Thunderbird). As well, it keeps me somewhat on the same wavelength as my PC friends, of whom many use this program too. I don't want to be too much out of touch with my mac. I might try Mail later. Thunderbird has been great so far. It has excellent spam recognition abilities and you can train it too to detect spam.
    Scott the "Family account" idea is an awesome idea. Thanks.
    I have learned a lot from this post. This gives me a few logical solutions. As Mulder points out it is best to keep users' profiles separate. This makes it simpler. Excellent advice. I could still install the Thunderbird application in the global application folder and then each user account can open this Thunderbird application from their own account and configure the mail client with their own profile. All users will be using the same Thunderbird application but with their own profiles. Yes, thats it. I tried this out and it seems to work now - didn't seem to work earlier because I didn't know what I was doing
    Another idea could be, if I really need to share one single profile, would be to follow Scotts advice and just set up a "Family account". Very simple solution. Nice idea.
    So, those are the two top solutions.
    Furthermore, I could use a mix of both strategies. For mail accounts that could be shared ([email protected]) I could create a "Family account" in OSX, as Scott detailed above, and then for mail accounts that are for each individual user ([email protected]), I could be sure they have separate profiles as detailed in Mulder's post.
    Thanks for all these helpful ideas!

  • I just downloaded iPhoto 9.5 to replace my old ver. 7.x.  Downloaded the library upgraded but have no idea where it installed as it is not listed in Applications.  Opened iPhoto added my Library (12.5 GB) but iPhoto shows no pictures.

    I just downloaded iPhoto 9.5 to replace my old ver. 7.x.  Downloaded the library upgraded but have no idea where it installed as it is not listed in Applications.  Opened iPhoto added my Library (12.5 GB) but iPhoto shows no pictures. In fact, iPhoto indicates that I have zero photos in the library while at the same time indicating the file size as 12.5 GB.

    If your old iPhoto version was iPhoto 7, you need to run the iPhoto Library upgrader:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1523
    It will install itself in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder.
    Run it, and after that, you should be able to open your iPhoto Library with iPhoto '11.

  • No option where to install XP

    I have Leopard on my mini and formatted my drive for XP. When the XP install gets to the blue screen asking where to install, I do not get the options where to install mentioned in the BootCamp instructions, I just get Windows asking what to do (install, repair, quit). I cannot get out of this screen at this juncture. I take out the disc and then I get the "unbootable drive..." message.
    Does anyone experience the same?
    Thanks

    I have the same problem. I don't get an option on which partition to install Windows too, even though I have successfully created a bootcamp partition (as it can be seen in my desktop).
    I only get the 1 partition (which is the Mac partition) to select.
    I only have this problem with my new iMac. I don't have the problem with my Macbook

  • Why is Java update asking me to install openoffice?

    I have installed Java jdk 1.6.
    Now the update notification is asking me if I want to install openoffice.
    I am not interested in that kind of notifications. (By the way I already have installed open office)
    There needs to be a differentiation between java updates and other updates (3th party tools). Then I can switch off that kind of notifications.
    I am only interested in Java updates.
    Why is Java update asking me to install openoffice?

  • Advice needed on where to install Bpel 10.1.3 (we use OracleAS 10.1.2)

    If I understand correctly, Bpel 10.1.3 cannot be installed on the middle tier of OracleAS 10.1.2. Unfortunately, we are not in a position to upgrade OracleAS at this point in time, but we want to use Bpel 10.1.3. I understand that Bpel portlets can be "deployed" from Bpel 10.1.3 and used in OracleAS 10.1.2, so this is good.
    Would it be feasible to use the Bpel Process Manager 10.1.3 Developers version with Oracle Lite (Windows) in a production environment? If so, I can use Jdeveloper to create the bpel, deploy the process to the windows box with bpel process manager 10.1.3 with Oracle Lite, deploy the Bpel portlets and use them in OracleAS 10.1.2 ...
    Given the goal of developing BPEL 10.1.3 processes and using the bpel portlets in OracleAS 10.1.2, and suggestions on where to install Bpel 10.1.3 and what version to install?
    Thanks in advance -

    Hi,
    if you install both on the same server, you should plan:
    which ports you want to assign to which iAS
    is there enough RAM?
    "they should not conflict with each other?"
    no. but test it, like everything you want to use in production.
    Yes, you can install it on a middle tier (just read the installation guides....)

  • Ran installation asst. several times for XI and at the end of the download, nothing happened. No prompt for where to install the trial program.  Don't know why. No error msg. NADA. This is most annoying!

    RAn install asst. for XI several times.  Download completedwith no error msgs.  No promp for where TI install trial.  Nothing!
    now what?  I think there is a major flaw with this utility?  I used to beta test for Microsoft so am no computer novice. 
    I need answeres
    THank you

    Listen up, Bill!
    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate and Internet Explorer version 11 (latest) –
    I used to beta test for Microsoft (among a plethora of software developers)
    and am no stranger to installing software. Did it all the time (at home and
    at work).
    The Acrobat Install assistant leaves a lot to be desired, I’m afraid.  The
    last time I ran it from the web site on my PC, it asked where to install and
    the default is PROGRAM FILES.  What it was saving to that location was the
    actual install assistant – NOT the trial version of Acrobat XI – therein
    lies the difference.
    Will try your suggestion, however, and thanks for the link.

  • My macbook started crashing on startup. The startup tone wavers. I got it going with the option start keystroke. Is this apt to be software or hardware? I ordered new system software to see if a new install will solve.

    when you install the disc, do it with the machine powered off. Place the disc in the the slot, push it in while holding the power switch tp poer it up, while holding the "C" key down till the gear starts spinning. After the gear starts spinning you can release the C key and wait. This takes much longer than normal longer, then create a new account. Be ready to wait.
    USE YOUR ORIGINAL INSTALL DISC!

  • Where to install OSX?

    Hello i have a mac pro 2.8 eight core. I currently have 2 drives, the stock 320GB drive and a new WD6400 AAKS, i have mixed opinions on where to install the OSX and where to place the Home folder.
    1-I was planning on installing OSX on the stock drive and leaving the Home folder on the new drive but i was wondering if this was the correct way of doing it. Can someone please advising on which would give my system the best performance?
    2- Also if I move my home folder, does that include the Applications folder as well, so when I launch my applications they will launch from the faster drive?
    What would you do if you were in my situation?
    Thank You

    Without knowing exactly what apps you'll be running and how you use your system, it's difficult to be precise, but generally it's better to have your OS on the better-performing drive. Hatter has posted links to various drive benchmarks, including in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1670647&tstart=0
    so you can look up tests for your two drives and see which one is the better performer, and that's where, in absence of any additional use information, I'd suggest you install the OS.
    Also if I move my home folder, does that include the Applications folder as well
    No. The Home folder and Applications folder are completely separate. Moving one does not move the other.

  • Where to install agents?

    Hi,
    I have following architecture:
    - Server 1 - ODI installed with option Server
    - Client 1 - ODI installed with option Client
    - Client 2 - ODI installed with option Client
    - Server 2 - Oracle DB installed - ODI Repositories created
    - Server 3 - Oracle DB - source system
    - Server 4 - MS SQL Server - source system
    - Server 5 - Oracle DB installed - target system
    I not sure where to install agents for this architecture:
    - on Server 1?
    or
    - on Servers 3 or 4 (source systems)
    or
    - on Server 5 (target system)
    What solution will be the best one in this case?
    Thanks in advance!

    It is best to install the agent as close to the target as possible. So, in your case it will be on Server 5.
    Moreover, since you have only one target, then you have the advantage that you can install only one agent and it works.
    Just keep in mind, that while installing the agent on the Server 5,
    Server2, server3 and server4 should be visible to Server 5.
    To explain more the above statement,
    We have Filesystems FS1, FS2 on which the source files are located.
    And the agent is located on ORADB1 which is the target Oracle DB. So, the filesystems FS1 and FS2 are visible to the system on which ORADB1 is installed and hence the agent on ORADB1 can also see the filesystems and hence access the files for processing.
