Ultimate tutorial: Install Microsoft Office 2010 on Ubuntu with font smoothing using PlayOnLinux/WINE

Mar 3

Posted by Qiusheng Wu

I love Microsoft Office. It is fast, it is effective (performance-wise), and the Ribbon UI is just sexy. And I am not even kidding. I am dead serious.

A loyal Ubuntu user since 8.04 Hardy Heron, yet I can never get along with OpenOffice. LibreOffice has come a long way lately, but the retro Windows XP UI annoys me days after days. I love Ribbon and I am not afraid to show it.

Natively, Microsoft Office 2010 is not a Ubuntu application. The day when Microsoft brings their almighty Office suit to Linux will come soon, just not in this world.

However, it does not stop me from getting it to run on my beloved Ubuntu set up, well, after numerous of fail endeavours.

The main reason I decide to write this instruction, is tutorials I found in Google are pretty much unclear, vague and all over the places, some work, some do not, some cause segmentation faults, diarrhea, syphilis, infection with H7N9… bla bla.

This instruction is merely a gathered version of stuff, in order to make it easier for you all.

So here it is – an ultimate, all in one Microsoft Office 2010 instruction.

A clichéd warning: I am not responsible for fail-to-boot system, dead hard drive, thermonuclear war, or you getting fail assignments because this tutorial somehow does not apply to you.

I break the procedure down into 6 steps:

Step 1:  Install PlayOnLinux

In brief, Office runs from Wine. For those who don’t know, Wine is not a Windows emulator, although it is. Haha, I’ll stop bullshiting. You can read more from the Wiki .

Based on Wine, PlayOnLinux is a handy solution, allows users to install well-known Windows applications in a direct approach, AppStore-style.

Download the latest version of PlayOnLinux for Ubuntu from here .

Locate the .deb file, double-click on it and install it with Ubuntu Software Centre.

I recommend not to install from the from the official repository, which is obsolete. I did not test it myself – at least I was told not to do so.

Step 2: Install Microsoft Office 2010

After the installation, this is how PlayOnLinux looks like:

Click on “Install”. With the Install window now pops up, search for Microsoft Office. After the selection, hit “Install”.

When the installation wizard emerges, hit ‘Next’.

The wizards will ask you to select the installation file. Do what it says. Once you have located the ‘setup.exe’, and see a screen like below, click ‘Next’.

The wizard then proceeds and downloads Wine 1.5.16. I don’t like this step, but it’s part of the PlayOnLinux script and you have to accept it. I’ll explain why I don’t like this version below.

Strings of under-the-hood stuff is conducted afterwards. This is why you ditch Wine for PlayOnLinux, the client does all the extra steps for you in background.

Very soon you will see this familiar, old-timer screen. Now you are in the familiar zone, do what you like, but the burden in on you now. I personally install the Standard version.

Sit back and relax, have a cup of water, may be even *do-it* yourself. It might take a while…

As soon as you see this screen, voila ! Hit close, and again some under the hood stuff occurs in the background.

Please ignore any errors like the one below, you are doing fine.

Give Word or Excel a test run =))

Install missing wingdng2.ttf and wingdng3.ttf fonts (updated 24 April)

For now, Office installation misses 2 fonts wingdng2.ttf and wingdng3.ttf , which makes the Bullets fail to displays (they look like blocks).

To fix the issue, download the fonts , extracts the package, and paste them into the font folder (in my case it’s ~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Office2010/drive_c/windows/Fonts).

Now Bullets render correctly.

From now on, you may want to skip the rest of the article, the below steps are cosmetic, hence optional.

Step 3: Cosmetic surgery – font anti-aliasing.

Microsoft Office installation has completed, but it ain’t ready yet. Well, if you possess clear bright eyes and happy with the current state of Office, the underneath stuff is redundant. Otherwise, proceed. Being a perfectionist myself, I can’t stand blurry font, retro Windows classic look and the dodgy performance, those teeny-tiny issues drive me nuts. I won’t rest till I overcome them.

The first thing to do is upgrading Wine. Remember the script installed Wine 1.5.16. Select Tools – > Manage Wine Version. Install version 1.5.28 instead. The reason behind this, is Wine 1.5.17 has fixed font aliasing bug.

After Wine 1.5.28 installation finished, get back to the main window, click Configure. On the left side, select Office2010. Under the tab General, at Wine version, alter it to WIne 1.5.28.

Under tab ‘Install Components’, install the following option in respective order:

‘Microsoft Core Fonts’

‘Disable Crash Dialog’ -> my personal favorite.

‘FontSmoothRGB’ -> this one is exceptionally crucial.

LunaTheme -> it’s actually Royal Theme

‘Tahoma’

After this, you can simulate a Windows reboot. Select tab Wine -> Windows reboot. Give it a moment, then you can test it by clicking at Configure Wine. If you are lucky, the fonts should be anti-aliased for now.

Do not mess around much with the configuration, you are on own risk. However, I did switch the theme, tab Desktop Integration, theme Royal, colour Royal Noir.

At this step, you can see we’ve been a long way. Explicit comparison is shown underneath, on the left is the default Wine configuration, on the right is what we did so far with PlayOnLinux.

Step 4: more cosmetic change.

So far, Office has a relatively decent look and feel, with font smoothen and such. Nevertheless, the app use Tahoma tiny little font, which stick out like a sore thumb in my sexy system.

Font can be changed with some help from DisplaySet, which can be download from here: http://wittswallpapers.com/Oldies/displayset.zip

After you have extracted the compression package, open the the Configure window, under the tab Miscellaneous, click at ‘Run a .exe file… ’. Locate the install.exe

Install DisplaySet like any other Windows application.

Once the installation of DisplaySet is done, open the Configure window, under the tab Miscellaneous, click at ‘Run a .exe file…’ again. This time, the location is ‘~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Office2010/drive_c/Program Files/DisplaySet/DisplaySet.exe’.

As DisplaySet is open, config it the way you like, below is my recommendation, for a seamless Ubuntu look and feel. Don’t forget to apply the setting before quitting.

And now, frankly, the menu, the tooltips, everything has enlarged, and use Ubuntu font instead.

For even greater theming and look change, you can read from this link: http://askubuntu.com/questions/175868/what-can-be-done-to-make-wine-look-more-integrated-into-unity

Step 5: Complete Ubuntu integration – Dash, file association, and drive setting

Office in the Dash

By default, PlayOnLinux creates shortcuts on the desktop. That’s all it does, no more, no less.

Let’s have Word, Excel and Powerpoint to show up in the dash. To achieve this, move the shortcuts to ~/.local/share/applications.

Now you can look them up in the Dash.

File association

The simple approach:

Use the File Association tool.

From the main windows, locate from Setting -> File Associations, and config like below. If they are already there, remove them and re-add them again.

Log-out and log-in to see the effect.

The thorough approach:

I’m sleepy and start yawning alot, so I’ll keep it straightforward: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1940522

Drives

This step is my personal favorite: with Wine Configuration, you assign a certain folder to a drive. To access this, from the main window, click at Configure -> tab Wine -> Configure Wine -> tab Drives.

A picture says 1000 words, I’d like to present how I can access RMIT folder straight from Office.

Step 6: Office activation

The support for Office activation from Wine and PlayOnLinux is dreadfully awful. I tried countless of times using keygens… I meant, a license, without any limited success. However, there are temporary work arounds for this problem.

The offical PlayOnLinux approach – which fail to work for me:

In PlayOnLinux’s Installation wizard, search for Microsoft Office 2010 Activation.

The ‘xài chùa’ approach:

This way, the trial period remains, but it can be extended. I have yet test this method (TBH I’ve only been using Office for less than a week), so you can test it at your own risk.

Read here for more detail: http://hipsterlibrarian.com/2013/02/02/how-to-extend-microsoft-office-2010-trial-period-with-playonlinux/

Open the file manager. Make sure you’re in your home directory. Press ctrl + h to show hidden files. enter .wine/drive_c/Program Files/SomeDirectory and move the file there and copy/move the file there like it was any other directory.

or you can open the terminal, use command winefile

A common goal of setting up computers on a local network is being able to share files and folders. In order for file sharing to work, the computers must exist on the same network and Workgroup . Then, the computer sharing files must have a folder configured with the proper permissions to allow other computers in the network to access it. This tutorial will show how to configure shared folders on your Windows 7 computer and access them from Ubuntu via your home network.

NOTE: Article updated to work for Ubuntu v10.10 & 11.04.

Step 1: Configure the Computers on the Same Workgroup

In order for Ubuntu and Windows 7 to easily share files, they have to be configured so that they are on the same Workgroup .

To change your Windows 7 workgroup, see: How to Change the Workgroup in Windows 7 & Windows 8 .
To change your Ubuntu workgroup, see: How to Enable File Sharing & Change the Workgroup in Ubuntu Linux .

Once the Workgroup is set up to be the same on both computers, proceed to the next section of this tutorial.

Step 2: Configure Shared Folders and Sharing Options on Your Windows PC

If you have not already set up a shared folder on your Windows PC, you’ll need to do so now. This step involves two sub-steps for which we’ve written individual tutorials:

1) Modify network sharing settings to enable network discovery and file sharing;

2) Configure your shared folders (See Also: Share Libraries or Folders Using Advanced Sharing ).

Step 3: Access the Windows Shared Folders from Ubuntu

To access the Windows 7 shared folder from Ubuntu, you have to use the Connect to Server option.

From the top menu toolbar click on Places and then on Connect to Server.

From the Service type drop-down menu, select Windows share . In the Server text filed type the name or the IP Address of the Windows 7 computer. Next, in the User name text field type a user account defined on the Windows 7 computer, with access to the shared folder. If you want to bookmark this computer and its shared folders, check the option ’Add bookmark’ and type the name that you want to use in the Bookmark name text field. Then, click Connect .

Now you will be prompted to enter the password for the Windows 7 user account you typed earlier. Type the password and select the option ’Remember forever’ if you don’t want to be bothered again.

Click on Connect .

Next, the Windows 7 shared folders will open up in a new window.

In the Windows 7 shared folders list you will also see the partitions defined on Windows 7. You can recognize them by the $ sign they all have after their letter (e.g. C$, D$). You won’t be able to access them, you can only open shared folders.

Note: If you haven’t used the Bookmark option, next time you want to access shared folders from the same computer, go to Places -> Network and select the Windows 7 computer.

Conclusion

You can easily use Ubuntu to access shared folders on a Windows 7 PC that co-exists on the same Workgroup . If you want to know more about setting up other PC’s on a local network, or how to further utilize the networking features between Ubuntu Linux and Windows 7, check out the articles listed below.

This brief tutorial shows you how to connect to Microsoft Windows 7 from Ubuntu 11.04 Natty via Remote Desktop Connection. As you may already know, connecting from a Windows PC to another Windows PC is easy, but with Ubuntu, you must enable certain options for this to be possible and this tutorial will show you how.

Getting started:

To get started, click ‘Start –> then search for and select ‘View advanced system settings’

How To Manage Packages Using apt-get, apt-cache, apt-file and dpkg Commands ( With 13 Practical Examples )

Feb 28

Posted by Qiusheng Wu

Debian based systems (including Ubuntu) uses apt-* commands for managing packages from the command line.

In this article, using Apache 2 installation as an example, let us review how to use apt-* commands to view, install, remove, or upgrade packages.

1. apt-cache search: Search Repository Using Package Name

If you are installing Apache 2, you may guess that the package name is apache2.  To verify whether it is a valid package name, you may want to search the repository for that particular package name as shown below.

The following example shows how to search the repository for a specific package name.

$ apt-cache search ^apache2$
apache2 - Apache HTTP Server metapackage

2. apt-cache search: Search Repository Using Package Description

If you don’t know the exact name of the package, you can still search using the package description as shown below.

$ apt-cache search "Apache HTTP Server"
apache2 - Apache HTTP Server metapackage
apache2-doc - Apache HTTP Server documentation
apache2-mpm-event - Apache HTTP Server - event driven model
apache2-mpm-prefork - Apache HTTP Server - traditional non-threaded model
apache2-mpm-worker - Apache HTTP Server - high speed threaded model
apache2.2-common - Apache HTTP Server common files

3. apt-file search: Search Repository Using a Filename from the Package

Sometimes you may know the configuration file name (or) the executable name from the package that you would like to install.

The following example shows that apache2.conf file is part of the apache2.2-common package. Search the repository with a configuration file name using apt-file command as shown below.

$ apt-file search apache2.conf
apache2.2-common: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
apache2.2-common: /usr/share/doc/apache2.2-common/examples/apache2/apache2.conf.gz

4. apt-cache show: Basic Information About a Package

Following example displays basic information about apache2 package.

$ apt-cache show apache2

Linux users can use LibreOffice, Google Docs, and even Microsoft’s Office Web Apps, but some people still need — or just want — the desktop version of Microsoft Office. Luckily, there are ways to run Microsoft Office on Linux.
This is particularly useful if you’re still on the soon-to-be-unsupported Windows XP and don’t want to pay an upgrade fee to upgrade your computer to Windows 7 or 8. This obviously isn’t supported by Microsoft, but it still works fairly well.
Ways to Install Microsoft Office
There are several different ways to install Microsoft Office on Linux:
Wine: Wine is a Windows compatibility layer that allows you to run Windows programs on Linux. It’s not perfect, but it’s optimized enough to run popular programs like Microsoft Office well. Wine will work better with older versions of Office, so the older your version of Office, the more likely it is to work without any trouble. Wine is completely free, although you may have to do some tweaking yourself.
CrossOver: CrossOver is a paid product that uses code from the free version of Wine. While it costs money, CrossOver does more of the work for you. They test their code to ensure that popular programs like Microsoft Office run well and ensure upgrades won’t break them. CrossOver also provides support — so if Office doesn’t run well, you have someone to contact who will help you.
Virtual Machine: You could also install Microsoft Windows in a virtual machine using a program like VirtualBox or VMware and install Microsoft Office inside it. With Seamless Mode or Unity Mode, you could even have the Office windows appear on your Linux desktop. This method provides the best compatibility, but it’s also the heaviest — you have to run a full version of Windows in the background. You’ll need a copy of Windows, such as an old Windows XP disc you have lying around, to install in the virtual machine.
We’ll be focusing on using Wine or Crossover to install Office directly on Linux. If you want to use a virtual machine, all you have to do is install VirtualBox or VMware Player and create a new virtual machine. The program will walk you through installing Windows and you can install Office inside your virtualized Windows as you normally would.

How To Run Windows Software on Ubuntu with Wine

Installing Microsoft Office With Wine
We tested Office 2007 with this process, as Office 2013 is known not to work properly and Office 2010 doesn’t appear to be well supported. If you want to use an older version of Office, like Office 2003, you’ll likely find that it works even better. If you want to install Office 2010, you may need to perform some more tweaks — check the Wine AppDB page for the version of Office you want to install for more information.
First, install the Wine package from your Linux distribution’s software package repository. On Ubuntu, open the Ubuntu Software Center, search for Wine, and install the Wine package.
Next, insert the Microsoft Office disc into your computer. Open it in your file manager, right-click the setup.exe file, and open the .exe file with Wine.
The installer will appear and, if everything goes well, you should be able to go through the installation process on Linux as you normally would on Windows.
We didn’t run into any problems while installing Office 2007, but this will vary depending on your version of Wine, Linux distribution, and especially the release of Microsoft Office you’re trying to use. For more tips, read the Wine AppDB and search for the version of Microsoft Office you’re trying to install. You’ll find more in-depth installation instructions there, filled with tips and hacks other people have used.
You could also try using a third-party tool like PlayOnLinux, which will help you install Microsoft Office and other popular Windows programs. Such an application may speed things up and make the process easier on you. PlayOnLinux is also available for free in the Ubuntu Software Center.
Why You Might Want to Use CrossOver
If the Wine method doesn’t work or you encounter problems, you may want to try usingCrossOver instead. CrossOver offers a free two-week trial, but the full version will cost you $60 if you want to keep using it.
After downloading and installing CrossOver, you’ll be able to open the CrossOver application and use it to install Office. You can do everything you can do with CrossOver with the standard version of Wine, but CrossOver may require less hacking around to get things working. Whether this is worth the cost is up to you.
Using Microsoft Office on Linux
After the installation, you’ll find the Microsoft Office applications in your desktop’s launcher. On Ubuntu, we had to log out and log back in before the shortcuts would appear in the Unity desktop’s launcher.
Office works pretty well on Linux. Wine presents your home folder to Word as your My Documents folder, so it’s easy to save files and load them from your standard Linux file system.
The Office interface obviously doesn’t look as at home on Linux as it does on Windows, but it performs fairly well. Each Office program should should work normally, although it’s possible that some features — particularly little-used ones that haven’t been tested very much — may not work properly in Wine.
Of course, Wine isn’t perfect and you may run into some issues while using Office in Wine or CrossOver. If you really want to use Office on a Linux desktop without compatibility issues, you may want to create a Windows virtual machine and run a virtualized copy of Office. This ensures you won’t have compatibility issues, as Office will be running on a (virtualized) Windows system.
