Stuck on Installing LibreOffice

[Andrew]

Hello Everyone, 

Im new in this community and in BBB and i am trying to install it. The thing is that i dont know that well how to handle linux and i am stuck in the installation proccess.

So, i am using this  https://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/InstallationUbuntu

and i am in step 2. Install LibreOffice. I do " wget http://bigbluebutton.googlecode.com/files/openoffice.org_1.0.4_all.deb "

everything works fine. but then i do sudo dpkg -i openoffice.org_1.0.4_all.deb and i get this:

"dpkg: regarding openoffice.org_1.0.4_all.deb containing openoffice.org:

 mythes-en-us conflicts with openoffice.org (<< 1.9)

  openoffice.org (version 1.0.4) is to be installed.

dpkg: error processing openoffice.org_1.0.4_all.deb (--install):

 conflicting packages - not installing openoffice.org

Errors were encountered while processing:

 openoffice.org_1.0.4_all.deb"

Hi Andrew,

Can you provide more details on your installation environment?  

The details are important because the environment usually the cause of errors with package installation.

Regards,... Fred

Hi Andrew,

We (the core developers) haven't tried installing BigBlueButton 0.81 on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit.  Your attempting to install on an untested environment; it may not work.  

Perhaps other members of the community will be able to help.

Regards,... Fred

Andrew,

Even if you got past the Open Office part, you'd run into ruby problems. I tried it.

Scrap Ubuntu 12.4 and install 10.4.

All the best,

Lee.

Hi, Andrew!

This message means that you have already installed package mythes-en-us which prevents openoffice stub from being installed. You have two options here:

- since it's just stub you can safely force it installation by issuing dpkg --force-all -i openoffice.org_1.0.4_all.deb . After that you will have the conflict which may prevent package manager from installing new packages

- you can try to remove mythes-en-us but this is your choise since it may force removal of some other package which you may need.

I was able to install 0.81 under ubuntu 13.10 without too much troubles, several patches to Gemfile and manual installation of several other components.

If you follow the introductions, there are lines:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

After these you will have 12.4. I managed to get until line sudo apt-get install bigbluebutton

with result: 

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 bigbluebutton : Depends: bbb-config but it is not going to be installed

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

So is there any easier way than reinstall whole ubuntu?

Thank you for any guidance,

Arto

Hi,

AFAIK at this point, having 12.4 means you can't go back to 10.04.

You can install fresh 10.04 and try this:

sudo aptitude update

sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

I believe this won't get 10.4 upgraded to 12.04.

Then proceed according to howto.

P.S. You can also force installation of bbb-config hoping this won't break your system (but it is already, isn't it? :) ) Please use 

apt-get download bbb-config

dpkg -i *.deb

where *.deb is the .deb file downloaded by previous command.

Hope it helps.
