Bug Description

The OpenOffice programs (Calc, Writer, etc) only show the industrial icons. They don't show the default or crystal icons. When those are selected, only text appears in the toolbars.

Version: Ubuntu-Edgy beta (6.10) and OpenOffice 2.0.4rc3

we have to fix this, if you didn't change anything manually.

the current package doesn't directly depend on all icon styles anymore. please install the openoffice.org-style-* packages for the additional styles.

Hi Matthias,

I'm running Ubuntu 6.10 with gnome. The changes I've made im my Desktop were
nouveXT icons and Rezlook metacity. I'm using the Silicon controls and
running Beryl/Emerald with a ATI X300 and the open-source driver.

I tried to change the options in the OpenOffice a couple of times but it
didn't work. The Crystal and default icons jus disappeared, I can only see
text in the toolbars. I checked the setting of the toolbars and got the same
result either for 'only icons' or 'icons and text' options. The industrial
is the only one that work. I'm not in front of my computer now, but I will
try to intall the package you mentioned and let you know.

Regards

Why is this bug still tagged as NEEDINFO? I can reproduce it right now with 2.0.4~rc3-0ubuntu2.

Oh! I see. I consider it a bug in your Openoffice.org packages to have options available in the program that result in broken (text-only) toolbars! I am installing openoffice.org-style*
 and expect that'll work, but if you are going to make those packages optional, there needs to be logic in the program executable to hide the icon family selections when the corresponding icons are not installed.

I can confirm that installing the icons worked, but that doesn't fix the underlying usability issue.

But openoffice.org-style-default should be required, or industrial (which is required) should be default system-wide style for OOo

- which desktop are you running?
- if you run Gnome, is the openoffice.org-gnome package installed?
- if you run KDE, is the openoffice.org-kde package installed?

I have only openoffice.org-calc, and openoffice.org-writer, and packages
required by those.

please install the openoffice.org-kde package (this is a dependency of
kubuntu-desktop); if the package is installed, you remove your
.openoffice* directory again. restart OOo, you should see the crytal icons.

There's a reason that we recommend keeping the (k)ubuntu-desktop
packages installed.

I know that that I can install openoffice.org-kde (or only crystal
icons), or kubuntu-desktop, but I think, that if I want only oocalc, not
all K-related packages, so it should take all dependencies to work
properly - so fact that OOo is using default iconset which isn't
installed by default is IMHO a bug.
