Hi I installed some of the debs from koffice, just to see what they were like, but I can only run them as root.
NB I'm not running KDE so I realise that this could be a problem kword and kspread run fine as root but when I try to run them as a normal user I get this error: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ kword & [1] 2976 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ koffice (lib kofficecore): WARNING: Office/kword.desktop: no X-KDE-NativeMimeType entry! koffice (lib kofficecore): ERROR: Couldn't find the native MimeType in kword's desktop file. Check your installation ! kdeinit: Fatal IO error: client killed I've checked /usr/share/applnk/Office/kword.desktop and it does indeed contain an X-KDE-NativeMimeType entry what is wrong? -------------------------------------------------------- Today people in droves hurry up past Heumoz to Villars on the road to the ski hills, so they can rush down them as fast as possible, so they can hurry up again in order to rush down again. In a way this is funny,... Francis A Schaeffer David Purton http://www.chariot.net.au/~dcpurton/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
