Hi

I installed openoffice 3.1.1-2 and there are no icons in KDE menu. To launch OOo I have to run:

/usr/lib/openoffice/program/[swriter]

It seems there are no symlinks, so when I type openoffice or swriter etc. it doesn't start.

Btw. Office group in KDE menu is active now, but it's empty.
This task depends upon

No idea how broken your menu is. It's the first time I hear about this. It seems to work for all other users even kde users. I can't confirm this. Please reinstall the pkg to get the menu rebuild.

The binary to start is "/usr/bin/soffice". You may check the .desktop files how OOo can be started.

btw: go-openoffice has the better kde integration that is also included in the vanilla openoffice-base-beta and -devel pkg.

It's first time such thing happened to me :) I reinstalled OOo, but it didn't help. I did fresh Arch install, installed custom KDE packages and then I installed Ooo. Everything is fine except missing OOo icons in menu. I'll add them manually or I'll try go-opneoffice. Thanks for your response.
