Koffice 2.0.91 was released some time ago. Kubuntu packages were not ready in time, because, as I always, I was to slow
. However now packages are in Kubuntu’s backports beta ppa. We also backported a newer wv2 library, so that hopefully support for MS documents should work better than with the last beta packages. You can activate the backports beta repo by adding
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/beta/ubuntu karmic main.
to your /etc/apt/sources.list.
Also it is good security practice to add the key for this archive, type:
sudo apt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 8AC93F7A
Install Koffice with
sudo apt-get install koffice-kde4
Note: Koffice 1.6 will be removed. Enjoy and report bugs.

I have problems since I have installed Karmic. Koffise apps won’t start…………
findServiceByDesktopPath: kritapart.desktop not found
findServiceByDesktopPath: Office/krita.desktop not found
Which version of Koffice is installed?
Did you install something from the experimental ppa?
I fixed it. I have tried everything I have found on Google, but the thing that fixed it was removing old menu items. Before that I have removed and installed kde-office again. Sorry.
I even compiled KOffice myself before this…
Thanks anyway…
