Install LibreOffice 3.3 Ubuntu
The first stable release of the free office suite ‘LibreOffice’ is now available for download.
Forked from OpenOffice late last year, LibreOffice 3.3 provides users with the familiar set of applications – albeit with greatly improved features such as: -
- Import and work with SVG files
- Easy way to format title pages and their numbering in Writer
- Improved Navigator Tool for Writer
- Improved ergonomics in Calc for sheet and cell management
- Microsoft Works and Lotus Word Pro document import filters.
A detailed breakdown of new features in LibreOffice 3.3 can be found @libreoffice.org/download/new-features-and-fixes
Download LibreOffice
Enough with the chit chat how do you get a-hold of it? LibreOffice 3.3 can be downloaded in .deb format from libreoffice.org or, for Ubuntu 10.10 users, installed from the LibreOffice PPA using the following commands: -
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libreoffice
Ubuntu 11.04 testers will already have LibreOffice installed as it undergoes evaluation for as OpenOffice’s replacement.
Fix Realtek RTL8192SU Ubuntu driver
Here’s quick fix for annoyed users with Realtek RTL8192SU WiFi chipsets wanting some WiFi…
I just bought a new Wi-Fi dongle for my netbook (due to woes with the Broadcom card inside, but that’s a whole other post) and although my no-name budget £10 dongle boasted ‘Linux support’ on the packaging I was a mite miffed to find it incapable of mustering even a faint signal of anything when plugged into my Ubuntu 10.10-running device.
Doubly annoying given it works flawlessly in Natty…
So what’s up?
After Googling around I came up on a bug report titled “Please include firmware for RTL8192SU“. The response was illuminating: -
“On 10.04 & 10.10 the firmware is already there but its in the wrong location.”
The solution to is open a terminal and pop in the following command: -
sudo cp -R /lib/firmware/RTL8192SE /lib/firmware/RTL8192SU
Reboot and, fingers crossed, your dongle will be up and receiving – certainly worked for me!
Need to find out what chipset your dongle uses? Plug it in, open a terminal and type ‘lsusb’. All connected USB devices will be listed.
Add a main menu to Docky
Long for a ‘main menu’ on Docky?
"I’ve been using AWN for quite sometime now, but that’s because of the lack of many docklets in Docky; the main-menu being an important one (at least for me)" he says on why he sought out a solution.
"What we do is change the "click" function of the Docky icon. So I modified that a bit, and got it to display the gnome-menu whenever I click the Docky icon."
Sounds neat, so how does one do it?
- Install "xdotool" (click here to install)
- Press ALT+F2 and type in "gconf-editor".
- Press enter.
- Navigate to /apps/docky-2/Docky/Items/DockyItem and double click on "DockyItemCommand"
- In the "value" field copy paste: xdotool key -clearmodifiers alt+F1
- Press OK and close the box.
- Click on the Docky icon
Remove anchor icon from Docky
OMG! reader kiwisoup e-mailed me over some instructions that I thought i’d paste here: -
- Press ALT + F2
- Type command “gconf-editor” and hit enter/return
- Navigate to “apps/docky-2/docky/items/DockyItem” in the gconf-editor
- Uncheck “ShowDockyItem“
- Restart Docky
Et voilà! Anchor free Docky!
Terminal way
If you’re lazy and want to do this via the terminal you can do so using the following commands. (Thanks to commenter dRewsus)
This command will turn the icon off:
gconftool-2 --type Boolean --set /apps/docky-2/Docky/Items/DockyItem/ShowDockyItem Falsethis will turn it back on:
gconftool-2 --type Boolean --set /apps/docky-2/Docky/Items/DockyItem/ShowDockyItem TrueRemember that you will need to restart Docky to see the changes take effect.
