Igor Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Well, we use stock Debian (or Ubuntu if you use our Ubuntu build) package repository and if you don't find some packages you need to add repository where those packages exits or download and install .deb file manually.

laurentppol Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 As I said, I am (almost, I know some OpenWrt config) total newbie to apt-* "world". Could You point to some howto? BTW, is there some (good) GUI to this? to have "available" -> "install" listed by name / "flavour". Shouldn't be included in release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Our main objective is (was) to provide a CLI / server images. But we also provide a simple desktop. Our system is mostly used by people who are cool with "apt-get install" way of doing things. http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/150927/is-there-a-software-center-like-in-ubuntu-in-debian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurentppol Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 But there is (a lot of) users from "RedHat world". Could someone write a howto for us? I mean for experienced Linux users, but not familiar with APT* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zador.blood.stained Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Could someone write a howto for us? Howto for what? For searching generic Debian/Ubuntu documentation? Or for reading apt-get man page? Apt is not specific to Armbian, any documentation for corresponding Debian or ubuntu release or man pages can be used as documentation.

laurentppol Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 Let's say: "apt-get HOWTO for yum/rpm users" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 https://www.google.com/search?q=apt-get+HOWTO+for+yum%2Frpm+users 1-2 seconds and you find it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromLinux/RedHatEnterpriseLinuxAndFedora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zador.blood.stained Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Let's say: "apt-get HOWTO for yum/rpm users" OK. Type "man apt" in the terminal, read the documentation. Alternative: Search for "apt HOWTO" for something like this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto Alternative: Use aptitude - ncurses based GUI package manager, preinstalled in recent Armbian images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurentppol Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 Got synaptic, finally some GUI to apt-get But search for "openoffice" still failed, found 3 packages with "openoffice" in name, but it is not the suite itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinayotte Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Maybe you should look at LibreOffice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurentppol Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 What I like in Linux is a "set of LEGOs", anyone builds its own. I don't want to switch my Ofiice software simply because different distribution. And for ME OO 3.3 id enough.

tkaiser Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I don't want to switch my Ofiice software simply because different distribution. So why not following the instructions the distribution of your choice provides: https://wiki.debian.org/OpenOffice Regarding this stuff Armbian is more or less like the distro you chose (we currently support Debian Wheezy, Ubuntu Trusty, Debian Jessie and Ubuntu Xenial while fading out support for the former two). It's really just following the stuff you find on the net when googling for "$problem $distro" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current versions of Debian and Ubuntu use LibreOffice as main office software kit. And BTW OpenOffice development was discontinued 5 years ago and LibreOffice is an actively developing fork of OpenOffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinayotte Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 As Zador said, last OpenOffice release was 5 years ago, ALL distros shifted to LibreOffice since then ... From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org EDIT : Here is a piece of the History : TDF released the fork LibreOffice in January 2011,[53] which most Linux distributions soon moved to.[54][55][56][57] In April 2011, Oracle stopped development of OpenOffice.org[11] and fired the remaining StarDivision development team.[34][58] Its reasons for doing so were not disclosed; some speculate that it was due to the loss of mindshare with much of the community moving to LibreOffice[59] while others suggest it was a commercial decision.[34] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurentppol Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 OK now I see, "1 image worth a 1000 words". But OO is istill alive, they propose 4.1.3 for Linux(Fedora 32/64)/Win(32/64)/Debian32/64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinayotte Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I would not say alive, but rather "artificial keep-alive" Bullet links 55/56/57 clearly says that Debian/Ubuntu/OpenSuse thrown the towel about OO since 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
