Hi All'
I still have a problem with LibreOffice. As stated before in my previous post when I ask office to print a doc or spreadsheet it just closes down but still print's the doc. I have waited for updates to see if that would fix it, but with no luck. I have just used smxi to remove it and reintall it but it is just the same. HELP please, has anyone any ideas as to why this is happening ? Or should I have just used apt-get ot install it ? :'(
Hi Gordon, sorry to hear your still having issues with libreoffice. Have you tried to completely remove it and then re-install it using the "vsido-welcome" script from a terminal? Might be worth a shot...
All you would need to do would be to open a terminal and type in vsido-welcome. You could 'skip' your way through it until you get to the part where it asks about installing libreoffice. To 'skip' a section in the vsido-welcome script, just press 's' until you get to the part you need...
Hi jedi.
Thanks for the reply. I haven't tried using vsido-welcome script to reinstall it, infact never realised that you could do that, so I will have a go at that a bit later on today. Just off out now to watch the grandkids play hockey in their final. Will report back later. cheers for now :)
Hi jedi.
Back in now, unfortunatly the kids lost but a good game never the less. Right just uninstalled LibreOffice usning smxi as termininal said it wasn't installed and reinstall using vsido-welcome script. Unfortunatly it has the same results, shut libreoffice down but still prints the doc. Is it because I am using kernal 3.14-0.towo.3-siduction-amd64 do you think ? should I change the kernal to something else, if so what ? :-\
Wow, you got a stumper going on! I've not tried the towo kernel in a loooong time. I'm using the latest Liquorix Kernel and libreoffice works great. (I use it a lot) It might be another thing to try. Switching kernel's that is.
There is also still the option of using OpenOffice.org I believe. You'd have to do a google search on that one though.
Hi jedi,
I ended up on tne towo kernel by accident so perhaps I will switch back to Liquorix kernal anyway I'll give it a try. I don't fancy openoffice, I've got use to libreoffice now :D
Hi All
Yet again I have messed things up big style. I couldn't stop it loading up on towo so I deleted towo and liquorix by accident and couldn't work out how to get out of that mess so did a complete reinstall yet again. It has at least sorted out the LibreOffice problem as that now works OK, so I guess the original problem was with towo kernel. Thanks for everyones help with this problem even though it wasn't solved in quite the right way :)
Glad to see you got it overcome! All of us have had our problems solved at some point with a reinstall!!! Tis a learning process! ;D
