 Posted: Thu Feb 19, 2009 5:01 am Post subject: installing dictionaries for all users |
|
Hello,
I have just installed a few dictionaries (franch, german, italian), testing the NO 3 for our classes. They are heavy extensions, each one about 6 Mo ! The problem is that we have 3 users (sessions) and we have to install the dicos for each one. So, just one question, is it possible to install the extensions for all users ?
Thanks
Christian  |

I read in http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/resources/user/howto_install
"Installing an extension for all users
To install extensions for all users it is necessary to have write access to the office installation. Open the Extension Manager dialog via Tools-Extension Manager and click the "Add" button. After having selected an extension one will be asked to install it for oneself or all users. Choose "all users"."
The problem is that i can't choose to install i for myself or all users. I'm in admin session

Is this related to the earlier reported issue of NO3 not declaring the default three language extensions as extensions?

Ok,
I use this command (thanks to Patrick) :
cd /Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents/MacOS
sudo ./unopkg.bin add --shared /path/to/the/dictionary
and everything is fine

Two suggestions. These are not necessary but the unopkg.bin command has always been flaky but these suggestions have worked well for us. Use these when both adding and removing extenstions:
1. Use the "--verbose" option after the "--shared" option to display any errors
2. Add the following argument after the last argument. This will force the unopkg.bin command to use a temporary folder for its lock files and preference files:
| Code: | | -env:UserInstallation=file:///tmp/$LOGNAME |
So with the above two changes, your commands would look like this:
Adding an extension:
cd /Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents/MacOS
sudo ./unopkg.bin add --verbose --shared /path/to/the/dictionary \
-env:UserInstallation=file:///tmp/$LOGNAME
Removing an extension:
cd /Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents/MacOS
sudo ./unopkg.bin remove --verbose --shared dictionary \
-env:UserInstallation=file:///tmp/$LOGNAME
Hope that helps,
Patrick |

I've spun Patrick's steps into Installing an extension for all users and linked to it from the page that describes installing OOo dictionaries (as we'd discussed in the spellcheck thread some time ago).
Is there anywhere else that should have a link to this new page?
