Public bug reported: Using the 'standard' install of OOo in Maverick, I wanted to add a UK thesaurus. Apparently the UK and US ones are merged, so the package openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-us should install what I'm after. I did
apt-get install openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-us then stopped OOo and started it and expected to go Tools->Language->Thesaurus to use the thesaurus. The 'Thesaurus' item in the menu is still greyed out. It is unclear what to do next in order to actually use the thesaurus. Also, if this really is also a UK thesaurus, mightn't it be worth naming it such that it's less obviously wrong for someone after a UK thesaurus? da...@ubuntu:~$ dpkg -l | grep openoffice ii openoffice.org-base-core 1:3.2.1-7ubuntu1 office productivity suite -- shared library ii openoffice.org-calc 1:3.2.1-7ubuntu1 office productivity suite -- spreadsheet ii openoffice.org-common 1:3.2.1-7ubuntu1 office productivity suite -- arch-independent files ii openoffice.org-core 1:3.2.1-7ubuntu1 office productivity suite -- arch-dependent files ii openoffice.org-draw 1:3.2.1-7ubuntu1 office productivity suite -- drawing ii openoffice.org-emailmerge 1:3.2.1-7ubuntu1 office productivity suite -- email mail merge ii openoffice.org-gnome 1:3.2.1-7ubuntu1 office productivity suite -- GNOME integration ii openoffice.org-gtk 1:3.2.1-7ubuntu1 office productivity suite -- GTK+ integration ii openoffice.org-help-en-us 1:3.2.1-6ubuntu1 office productivity suite -- English_american help ii openoffice.org-impress 1:3.2.1-7ubuntu1 office productivity suite -- presentation ii openoffice.org-math 1:3.2.1-7ubuntu1 office productivity suite -- equation editor ii openoffice.org-style-human 1:3.2.1-7ubuntu1 office productivity suite -- Human symbol style ii openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-us 1:3.2.1-2ubuntu1 English Thesaurus for OpenOffice.org ii openoffice.org-writer 1:3.2.1-7ubuntu1 office productivity suite -- word processor ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-us 1:3.2.1-2ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-22.33-generic 2.6.35.4 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-22-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: wl Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Nov 13 20:11:20 2010 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release i386 (20101007) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: LANG=en_GB.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: openoffice.org-dictionaries ** Affects: openoffice.org-dictionaries (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 maverick -- doesn't activate the/a thesaurus in openoffice.org https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/674996 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
