OpenOffice 3.1 for Ubuntu

Friday, May 8. 2009

OpenOffice 3.1 was recently released. It brings a range of new features and bugfixes.

Those of you on Ubuntu desktops who wish to upgrade can do so quite easily. It's been built for Jaunty, Intrepid and Hardy.

You can use the following apt repos to pick it up:

Jaunty:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

Intrepid:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main

Hardy:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ppa/ubuntu hardy main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ppa/ubuntu hardy main

Once that's done, just add the signing key:
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com D2BB86E0EBD0F0A43D4DB3A760D11217247D1CFF

Now it's a case of just running an update and you'll automatically be upgraded from OO.org 3.0 to OO.org 3.1.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Happy Open-Officing!

Was confused at first, the spash screen still says 3.0, but according to synaptic, 3.1 is installed. Looked closer and while the "About openoffice" popup says 3.0, below it says 3.1.0. Why wouldn't they update the splash?

I noticed the exact same thing. Is a little confusing until you go to the About screen as you mention.
