I use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. In the new version of LibreOffice is a shortage of fonts. I can choose 104 fonts from the 171 available of my system fonts. I was advised to delete ~/.config/libreoffice/. How can I do that? Thanks Andre den Oudsten -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

mv -v ~/.config/libreoffice/4 ~/.config/libreoffice/4.broken next time you restart loo it will recreate 4 sub dir with fresh content the advantage to rename it to 4.broken it allow you to pick back perhaps important content like your wordbook and so. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

So, on an upgrade of LO, we have to ditch our preferences, with so many hours of work? How about a config repair and migration tool? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

You don't, it's a temporary solution when things broke.

How about a config repair and migration tool? if the program broke and can't be started with current configuration I don't really understand how a migration tool will success.

rm ~/.config/libreoffice

This won't work. rm will not delete a directory. You need to add -rf. Or simply use Dolphin or any other file manager. Cheers, JFL -- Jean-François Lemaire -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
