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...

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...

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...

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/

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...

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:...

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?

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....

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:

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...

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,...

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...
