I've been a long time linux & Ubuntu fan/user. Since the clean install of 11.04, LibreOffice keeps crashing. No day would go past when using either Writer or Calc, that it will not crash. (I think OpenOffice had same issue on Ubuntu 10.10 but only later on in the cycle.) The recovery function works, but it's now beyond a joke to continue to work in such a way, given that I have used Linux exclusively. I develop web apps on Ubuntu, but am seriously thinking of going over to Windows 7 or even OSX if this continues much longer.
If I can't get this issue resolved, I'm going to stop using Linux, which I do not want to do. when searching for clues to issue on this forum and others, people mentioned a 'seg fault', this might be the issue I have, as I think I saw this reported on one of the error logs. I think a seg fault may have something to do with memory, but I don't know for sure.
Have been having some problems with Libreoffice Writer crashing every time I try to save a file that contains any kind of multimedia (usually images) so I decided to completely remove the app and any trace of it and start again.
After complete removal I reinstalled from the Opensuse repo 3.3.1
The porblem I have now is that when I start typing in writer absolutely nothing happens. Wait approximately one minute and the text I typed appears. Try to backspac to delete or type some more and the behaviour persists.
I've been using ubuntu off and on for a while now and haven't gone in depth yet but have recently made the complete transfer from windows. I've been loving it however, I'm trying to link libreOffice Base to a mysql account on my netbook for a course in school but am not getting form controls. I've noticed that these comments were made in the software center and in many forums including this one I believe. I haven't seen a decent response to any of the other posts I saw and have been having other minor issues with libreOffice but have tolerated them so far. This just seems like nobody tested it at all.
I was trying to see what alternatives there were to libreOffice for 11.04. It turns out that it is a total nightmare trying to install and use any other software suite on ubuntu. I purged libreoffice but still cannot successfully install and use openoffice or gnomeoffice from the software center. I search online and in forums and all I see are articles and posts explaining how to ditch other suites and install libreoffice but I'm really trying to do the opposite at this point. I really want to love ubuntu but it is being very difficult to do so right now.
I just got an update for LibreOffice and got this error ... how can I fix it? I tried changing permissions of the sdraw.cfg file . E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libobasis3.3-en-us-help_3.3.0-18_i386.deb: trying to overwrite '/opt/libreoffice/basis3.3/help/en/sdraw.cfg', which is also in package libobasis3.3-en-us-draw 0
I tried to install LibreOffice on the recommendation of my friend and it failed to install. Now I have neither LibreOffice or OpenOffice. I also cannot install OpenOffice from the Ubuntu software center. what can i do to have either one of these.
After I double click it's shortcut it takes LibreOffice Writer 35 seconds to come up fully. I've reinstalled it, played with the memory settings, no change. If I turn on quickstarter it works fine but as many people have noted, you have to turn quickstarter off before you shutdown otherwise the system hangs.
I would like LibreOffice to initialize within 10 seconds and be able to do a shutdown by just clicking shutdown.
I've recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 and Libreoffice 3.3. My Base is very very slow. I've already tried changing the JRE to the Oracle/Sun latest version and the problem is still there. The problem doesn't seem to be in the file, since I can open it on my Windows 7 Libreoffice, without any problems. Solving this bug is important for me to definitely migrate from Windows to Linux.
A few minutes ago, I added LibreOffice's PPA to my sources list. When I went to update my computer, this popped up:
Code: An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.
Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
'E:Type 'a.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/libreoffice-ppa-maverick.list' So I tried reporting this bug by tapping Alt+F2 and entering:
Code: ubuntu-bug update-manager
Then an error pops up, saying it could not determining the package or source package name.
When I try clicking on Ubuntu Software Centre, nothing pops up
I'm really puzzled and would at least like to remove that LibreOffice PPA so I can use Ubuntu Software Centre.
I noticed there were updates for everything related to OpenOffice today which reminded me, now that LibreOffice is the default, why keep OpenOffice?I removed OpenOffice and all its components.LibreOffice still runs unaffected, but now autoremove wants to uninstall LibreOffice as well.Is OpenOffice a dependency of LibreOffice? Should I reinstall OpenOffice?
LibreOffice Impress has only 9 presentation templates - and I don't like a single one of them. Where can I find more and how can I add them to Impress? For example I can open my old openoffice presentation, but I don't know how to add template to Impress.
Just installed Ubuntu this morning and got rid of openoffice and was trying to install libreoffice via the instructions when I received this error: mike@mike-ubuntu:~/Desktop/libreoffice/DEBS$ ls libobasis3.3-sdk_3.3.2-19_amd64.deb mike@mike-ubuntu:~/Desktop/libreoffice/DEBS$ sudo dpkg -i libo*.deb Selecting previously deselected package libobasis3.3-sdk.

I installed Libreoffice on my Ubuntu 10.10 (through wubi), and uninstalled Openoffice afterwards. Everything's ok. But then I continue to receive updates for openoffice modules (which are a lot btw). From the Software Center, currently installed are libreoffice modules together with (I think) their openoffice counterparts. Now the question is, is it safe to remove the openoffice modules? Or does Libreoffice need them, too? How do I remove them completely from the updates?
I am trying to install LibreOffice 3.3 by following the instructions I found at [url]
Below is the output I get after running these commands:

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and I have OpenOffice installed. Is it possible to install LibreOffice 3.3 from PPA even though it is said that the commands target Maverick? Do I have to uninstall OpenOffice before installing LibreOffice?
I am trying to build libreoffice 3 in my maverick machine, but after doing 'make' I got this build error

I've recently converted two Ubuntu 10.04 (one 64, one 32bit) machines to LibreOffice. We've used OpenOffice.org since early 2.x The issue is a database file created in OOo and now needing to be accessed in LO. As far as I know, there shouldn't be any issue with file compatibility. On the 64 bit machine, (a Ubuntu server installation - not headless) the file opens with no trouble and is fully accessible. (forms, reports, tables, etc.) However, on the 32 bit machine, trying to access the file over the network on the server via samba (because we also have Windows machines on the network, so I serve it all up via samba) I am able to open the database, but get the following error when trying to access any table, form or report: The connection to the data source "Mattress Prices" could not be established.
I wanted to try LibreOffice out. I found a PPA for it, so I added the source, tried it out, didn't like it, and noticed that openoffice now won't work. Which isn't too big of a deal, but now I can't even get the software center to install it. It gives me some error that you can read in the screenshot. What can I do?
Running Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR) 10.04 with LibreOffice 3 from the PPA.
I'm trying to view a PPTX file. The presentation has notes that I have to be able to see, but the note view in LibreOffice shows no notes or slides. The normal view shows the slide, but you can't see the notes. (OpenOffice did this same thing, which is why I tried LibreOffice).
This is what I see with the PPTX file: [URL]
When I open the file on a Windows machine with Office 2010, I can save the file as a "PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation," and the PPT file then works in LibreOffice, as shown here: [URL]
The problem is that I don't want to have to open a windows machine to convert my class presentations every time I want to view them. Is there anyway to view PPTX presentations with notes on Linux? PowerPoint Viewer will not open PPTX files.
If libreoffice writer is already running in workspace 1 and you open a new document, that document opens in workspace 2. And, interestingly, if you first open writer in workspace 2, it opens new documents into workspace 1.
I tried to recreate the problem with the spreadsheet program and couldn't, it seems to be confined just to the word processor. I don't know if this is a natty problem or a libreoffice problem - I got them both at once with the upgrade.
Also, I don't know if this is the right forum for reporting bugs.
I'm using LibreOffice 3.3.2 to open a document I received through work. The document is from MS Word in .doc format and has some track changes. I started using Libre Office to track my changes to the document but the only format I can save it in and retain my changes is .odt which is fine for me. However I would like to return this in .doc format.
It seems odd that LibreOffice happily opens a document with track changes but cannot save them back in that format.
Am I doing something wrong? I am using Edit>Changes>Record and then File>Save As.
Having installed Libreoffice 3.4 which is supposed to have better integration with Unity I find it doesn't work! I started Libreoffice and clicked "Keep in launcher" which it does for that session it also has quick list, but none of the programs start! They work fine from applications menu but not from Unity.
My friend lost her dissertation and she had only a pdf copy of it. I am trying to convert the pdf into an odt format. After copy-pasting the content into an odt, i need to replace all paragraph breaks which are not following a dot with a space. For which i thought of using the regular expression feature of Libre Office. I've not succeeded so far.
I tried: to replace [:alpha:]$ or [a-z]$ or [a-z]>$ with space, but none of them worked. Finding [a-z] seems to work, finding [a-z]> too. So did finding $ (end of paragraph) but if i combine any regex with $ then it doesn't find anything.
But if I run it from the menu (applications->office->libreoffice writer) or with sudo it works fine. so something's happening with the permissions, I goes, but I don't quite understand what's wrong. I've tried deleting .libreoffice but this doesn't help. I'm using libreoffice3.3.2 and Ubuntu 11.04.
I'm trying out the office suite Ubuntu switched to with the latest release and I'm a little disappointed. Trying to configure the properties of a form in libreoffice-base isn't working. When I right-click on a column field in the edit view for a table form and select "Column" nothing happens. This worked in Open Office. Why the switch?
I frequently (i.e. after 10-20 minutes of use) get a complete system freeze when using LibreOffice Calc 3.3.3, on Ubuntu 11.04. At the time, I have an *.ods file open, and the freeze happens at various times, for example just after pressing the Page Up button. After the freeze occurs, nothing responds, not even Ctrl+Alt+F1, and I have to force power off my laptop.
how to debug this problem, as there's no error message, no error log (that I know of??)..
I uninstalled OpenOffice using Software Center and installed LibreOffice from the PPA using the instructions on this page:[url]
I can't find any way to launch it. Applications > Office used to have OpenOffice Writer in it. Now there are no menu items for LibreOffice any darn place.
