Report:

On one of my test machine (called yarn), I installed flatpak and the LO version (7.4.2.3) they provide. Here are the results from a three page document, all text:

Hagar--

OK, now I know to what you were referring.

Just checked this site https://www.debugpoint.com/libreoffice-upgrade-update-latest/ and they say Ubuntu 20.04 had LO 6.4.7, and 18.04 had...

Hagar--

When you say you click on the header, does that mean one of the icons like indent or spell check, or a header style in the body of the document? Or something else?

You also said you...

Hagar--

Well, the bug makes it look like there will not be a fix soon. Thanks for pointing out the bug report. I will just use bookmarks to find my place, especially in large docs. At least I do...

Hagar--

Thanks for jumping in here. I recognize your name: you have helped me in the past. I have visited the thread you linked, and posted a follow up question there.

I will play with flatpak...

Anybody have any ideas where I can turn?

Thanks!

Since upgrading to 22.04 LTS, libreoffice has been acting strangely. This is on three computers. One I did a fresh install of 22.04, two simply did upgrades from 18.04. I currently have...

It worked! Thank you oldfred!

Here are some of the details, so I can retrace my steps if I ever have to, and so others might avoid my missteps:

1. Most of this is from memory,...

That PXE entry appears right after the splash screen on reboot, before it even brings up a grub menu or a request for the luks password. So somehow it seems it is looking for some really...

"Missing operating system" is what I get now, after following (I think) the instructions.


The pastebin from before running boot-repair is https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/s8kqz3yq3v/

oldfred--

Many thanks!

Perhaps I am reading it wrongly, but it looks like boot-repair wants to install to sda, and not the sdb that you point to. Is there a way to tell boot-repair to put it in...

oldfred--

Sorry you had to wait for a response--I had some family matters to attend.

I installed boot-repair to the hard drive and ran it. Here is the pastebin:...

oldfred--

Thank you! It is encouraging that I could move it back. But if it is risky, or a lot more work than keeping the boot usb, I lean toward just going back to the usb. What do you advise?

oldfred--

Thanks for helping me (again!).

After reading through your post a couple of times, it seems I did not give enough info the first time around.

You asked,

In order to update to 22.04.1, I needed more space in /boot, so I moved /boot to a usb stick, following https://askubuntu.com/questions/539504/moving-boot-to-a-usb-key

All went well....

@TheFu--

I know you prefer NFS. I started out with cifs in about 2006, so I have thousands of files on it, and am afraid I will break it all if I switch now. (One issue is file locking: if one...

@TheFu--

TheFu has the clue! (As I have learned.)

Thank you! You gave me what I needed. When I added two stanzas to the server's /etc/samba/smb.conf file, one for [test] and one for [personal],...

Have been working all day on this puzzle and not getting my samba shares mounted.

Here is the /srv directory on bach:

doug@bach:~$ ls -alh /srv

dmesg I think it was that showed me the clue: for some reason my system was expecting ext2 and I had formatted my usb to ext4. So (for completeness for anyone following this) this is what...

ubfan1 and yancek and all--

There was a simple answer to my question, why is /boot busy? I found the way to deal with it here:...

ubfan1--


root@fire:/# mv /boot /boot.old
mv: cannot move '/boot' to '/boot.old': Device or resource busy

is what it does for me. I am not in /boot; what could be causing it to say it's busy?

ubfan1 and yancek and all--

Well, I am somewhat stuck.

In upgrading the first computer (actually have 3 to upgrade), I first ran these commands:

• doug@fire:~$ sudo apt-get update
•...

ubfan1 and yancek--

Thanks for your guidance. I am tied up most of today and will get back to you, probably tomorrow.

Thanks!

Thanks!

The archlinux link gives me confidence that it can be done. I also found https://askubuntu.com/questions/539504/moving-boot-to-a-usb-key which gives a bit of a tutorial,...

@ 1fallen--

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

As near as I can tell, the geekdudes tutorial involves a non luks drive. I did follow the archlinux page in working to resize things, and...
