Mandriva

[Moshe Brace at Gmail]

Good afternoon to you,
I am a Newbe using Mandriva One v2008 Spring edition. I download through the URPMI and installed it. My desktop is Gnome environment. The programme although installed cannot find in the Applications List at the top of the screen KOffice. How do I find it and open it to run the Office? I do not know where to look for KOffice.

Moshe

I'm afraid I'm neither a gnome nor a mandriva user -- but maybe I can help
anyway. If you want an application that gives you access to all the koffice
components, you can, as far as I know, in gnome press the alt-f2 key and
type "koshell" in the text box that pops up. Press enter, and the shell
should start.

That said, it's strange that the koffice applications don't show up in the
menu because the way those menus is built up is standardized on Linux between
Gnome and KDE and if I try to do the same in opensuse, I see my app (krita)
appear in the menus.

Koffice isn't installed by default, IIRC.  Check in Software Installer.

Oops - sorry, missed that.  I don't know anything about Gnome menus.  Sorry
for the noise.
