OpenOffice.org alongside LibreOffice
 

Hi all,

Is it possible to install OOo alongside LO on F17? When I try, rpm
complains that "file /usr/bin/soffice from install of
openoffice.org3.4-freedesktop-menus-3.4-9593.noarch conflicts with
file from package libreoffice-core-1:3.5.6.2-4.fc17.x86_64". Is there
a workaround?

Thanks.

Apparently we have to remove a significant number of Libreoffice
systems before installing OpenOffice.

I wish they would just merge back into the same trunk already.*

I'm not running Fedora, I'm running PCLOS, (32-bit) but I have LO and
OO and Symphony all installed, and I didn't have to remove anything.
PCLOS is a KDE distro. I got LO first, of course, since it's "almost"
built in to every Linux distro nowadays, and I downloaded OO with an RPM,
and Symphony the same. (Symphony is a cousin of OO,) I don't know if
this helps you, but it's for your information, anyway.

As a matter of curiosity, why would anyone want to have both OO and LO
installed simultaneously? Aren't they mostly feature-equivalent and/or
compatible?

Unless you are into research about feature-for-feature comparison between LO
and OO, what's the point of having them both on the same machine?

Best, :-)

Then you can start virtual machine, connect to it via ssh -X and start
openoffice.

Mostly, to be on safe side. I prefer to use software provided by
distro as much as possible, but sometimes, OOo does better job
converting MS office documents, so I prefer it as a backup option.

Well, I just converted to LibreOffice when I finally upgraded to F17
from F14. And I notice two improvements right away. I run two WordPress
sites and have signed on as a consulting admin on a third. And when I
used to use the "Paste from MS Word" option in the WordPress Visual
Editor, OpenOffice would always paste in some extraneous
paragraph-formatting code. And I could never turn it off.


LibreOffice does /not/ give me that problem. When I paste LibreOffice
text into WordPress, I get no extraneous code, nothing I have to go to
the HTML window to clean out. I get all my headings, attributes, and
links just the way I laid them out.


Second improvement: clearing formatting shouldn't clear links.
OpenOffice would always clear the links when I cleared the formatting.
LibreOffice does not.


And it has all the functions I knew and loved with OpenOffice. Thus far
I've had no cause to regret the switch.

As I said, OOo and LO have different bugs, that's why I would like to
have them both installed. Sometimes, OOo works better, sometimes LO
does the job.
