http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=929338 --- Comment #5 from Dirk Weber <d_werner@gmx.net> --- (In reply to Jim Hill from comment #3)
Thru yesterday I reloaded openSUSE 13.2, deleted both Libre Office Repositories, de-selected all Libre Office apps, and rebooted the system. Then I went to opensuse.org/program/libreoffice and did a reload, first with one repository, then with both repositories. Both attempts yielded the same results. I was able to access libreoffice writer, create new documents, save those documents, and reopen only those newly saved documents.
I still was not able to open calc or any of the other apps, and I cannot open any of the documents, including write documents, I have previously saved. As my saved and archived documents consist mainly of write and calc docements, this is frustrating me.
I have reduced my repositories down quite low. I have seen no error codes or caution flags so far, but I may not have JAVA repository installed. What is the best one to assure proper workings with LibreOffice?
Your suggestion makes sense. After I read it I tried to find /libreoffice/ with the System folder /etc/system config tool by using the search function. Nothing came up. The only code editor I have showing in my tools is Linux 32 bit Terminal. It has been at least 15 years since I was consistently working in code, so... is there a quick point to this code line or can you walk me thru the steps to tackle this name change?
Thanks... very respectfully (v/r)
Uninstalling and reinstalling packages under Linux usually does not make much sense. If you work correctly (esp. not as root but as ordinary user) files which are installed from the rpm will not be corrupted. ~/ is your home directory where settings for your specific user account are stored, and this is likely were the problem is. Therefore open an xterm / console Window as ordinary user and type mv .config/libreoffice .config/libreoffice_bak [enter]. You can also use some file manager and rename this directory, but sometimes these try to be smart and protect you from yourself and don't do what you want. This will move your personal settings of libreoffice to the directory .config/libreoffice_bak and from libreoffice's point of view erase them. If you start libreoffice now it will not detect any local adaptations and create a new directory with the default settings. About repos: I recommend to use the standard repos of the distribution (OSS and non-OSS and the related update repos) and install the packages from there. They are best fitting to the distribution. Add other repos only if you have very specific needs and if you know what you are doing. Libreoffice should just work out of the box with the standard repos. Mixings things from multiple repositories is asking for trouble because you will likely get untested combinations of packages. Hope this helps. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
