Grammar checker is there from OOo 3.0.0 beta 2 by using languagetool extension. In fact, 3.0.0 final was delayed because a bug in the grammar checker api. But I agree that it works better with 3.0.1
I just tried to update OOffice from the pre-installed OpenSuse11.1 64bit version. I got all sorts of dependency problems telling me I had to uninstall part of the older version, which I did. Result was that OpenOffice would not even start up. I switched back to the original version and will just wait a little longer. (I NEED to use OpenOffice on this machine that’s why I did not waste any time trying more things).
Ich,
You should get 1 dependency error with (damn.. I forget the package). After that you may have to kill your ~/.ooo3.
What error did you get when trying to load? I agree OpenOffice is critical on this machine for daily use also

Hi Ben,
the error message was something simple and straightforward like “can’t load”. When I started it from the console there was no useful output either. So I tried to reinstall the older version which would no longer start either claiming that some library was missing. So in the end I did kill the ~/.ooo3 and reinstalled the older version and have it running again. Darn, I really wanted to try the newer version but it just taught me once more that one should not change a running system…
No need to kill the user profile!!! Yast miss some dependencies troubles: just look all OOo related packages installed and uninstall those from the old version. If I recall well, there are 4 packages that yast didn’t uninstall (one at least is calle “ure” or something like that).
I have only one thing to say about your article. It’s fascinating content with fresh and sound ideas that fit many of my own views.
I’m not a college grad, but I have an excellent education behind me and am a big reader. My forte is in language arts and I am impressed with the material you have written here.
