I am pretty sure I could yesterday view xlsx files, but not edit. Currently I can't even view but I guess it is because of my installing/uninstalling applications while trying to get office documents work more properly...

First, I found a youtube video that indicates someone having more or less functioning office suite at n950:

Then, a bit more googling, found something that looks very much like installation packages for calligra:

http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/...ee/c/calligra/

Tried to install/uninstall some of those (at which point probably lost the capability to even read office docs). Every package seems to install nicely, but at this point I get stuck. I have no idea how to run these packages.

Code:
dpkg -s calligrameego
gives following:

But trying to run calligrameego (or a couple of intuitive variants, root or no root), results to

Code:
-/bin/sh: calligrameego: not found
So, does anybody have any ideas how to proceed?

Then I started to think that maybe there is a vnc and/or nx client to log into my home computer and work with the documents there . Apparently no luck with those, but x forwarding seems to work nicely out of the box, so I actually can have a working gnumeric worksheet at the screen of my N9, even if not that elegantly. Only "minor" inconvenience is that I haven't been able to figure out how to open virtual keyboard for the x session. Does anyone happen to know any solution to this short of building a x-forward app?
