Installation

The Solaris Package Manager is powerful tool to deploy software packages locally and through a network.

  • Download and unzip the installation sources.
  • Become root if necessary
su -
  • Execute the installation package on:
Solaris Sparc


Solaris x86


To install the StarOffice packages :


Remove the StarOffice installation packages afterwards :


Apply StarOffice Product Patches/Updates

Each Product Update has the same Java based installer front end as the StarOffice installation set. Just call the setup for applying the update. Anyhow, the Upgrade uses Solaris packages as which could be applied by the upgrade command of the Solaris Package Manager.

  • Download the patch from SunSolve
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/xprod-StarOffice&nav=pub-patches
  • Extract the patch files from the archive (The file name differ with the patch release)
unzip 120185-02.zip [Solaris Sparc]
unzip 120186-02.zip [Solaris x86]
  • Apply the patch (The patch has the same number/name as the ZIP archive above)
patchadd 120186-02

De-Installation

Do not delete the StarOffice files from the file system. We strongly recommend to use the StarOffice Java setup or the pkgrm tool to de-install StarOffice. The Solaris package repository would become inconsistent when you remove the StarOffice files via rm -r .

  • Become root if necessary
su -
  • Create a file 'so_packages' with all StarOffice related Solaris packages
pkginfo -x | cut  -f1 -d " " | grep staroffice > /tmp/so_packages 
  • For a silent installation of StarOffice it is necessary to create an admin file. This avoids recurring queries at the installation.
echo action=nocheck > /tmp/admin
echo conflict=nocheck >> /tmp/admin
echo rdepend=nocheck >> /tmp/admin
  • Remove all packages listed in the file
pkgrm -a /tmp/admin -n `cat /tmp/so_packages`
  • There are a number of packages in the StarOffice installation set does not use the term 'staroffice'. These packages including a font server (SUNWfreetype2) and an Ababas D database server (SUNWadabas). To remove these packages:
pkgrm SUNWfreetype2 SUNWadabas

Depending on your Java environment you have to deinstall following three packages which including the Java Runtime Environment which was installed by the StarOffice installer. De-Installing these packages could damage you Java environment.

pkgrm SUNWj5rt SUNWj5man SUNWj5cfg
