problem running libreoffice

[Jpox]

Hi,

I have a big problem with libreoffice (on Kubuntu 12.04)

I wanted to add libreoffice-pdfimport to my suite and so I typed:

sudo apt-get install libreoffice libreoffice-pdfimport

It was my error because, in this way, i reinstalled libreoffice too. But now I have a problem bacause libreoffice doesn't run any more.

when I type

libreoffice

I get

/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libjvmaccesslo.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried to remove and reinstall libreoffice again, but now I always get this error.

Can anybody help me please? I need libreoffice for my work

Thank you

I suggest purging your libreoffice install and then reinstalling it from the standard Ubuntu 12.04 LTS repositories.

Ok, but how can I install it from standard Ubuntu 12.04 LTS repositories?

Because I typed in my terminal as suggested on the web

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice

but then libreoffice doesn't work.

It might be better to install libreoffice from the software centre. Just search libreoffice and download what app you need (Writer, Calc, Impress, ect...).

I tried to install from Muon Software Center but nothing todo, I still get the same error when I try to launch libreoffice:

/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libjvmaccesslo.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What others solutions could I try?

As everyone said. remove the ppa and reinstall from the regular ubuntu repos.

ok, I removed the repository.

But how can I now install libreoffice from the regular ubuntu repos.? Colud you explain me, please?

Once the ppa removed, update the sources.list and install libreoffice

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libreoffice

libreoffice is a metapackage, all the other packages wil be installed with it.

There is a procedure described here (http://www.thepowerbase.com/2012/04/...ntu-or-debian/) which involves the use of ppa purge. This does not only remove the repositoory, but also downgrades the packages from the archive.

You just have removed the PPA. Presumably, not all packages introduced by your custom PPA were downgraded.

You could try the following.
1) Reinstate the offending PPA
2) "sudo apt-get update"
3) Now follow the procedure outlined in the link I gave. It involves removing the offending PPA using PPA purge, which should revert all affected packages to the standard packages of Ubuntu. After that, you should be able to install libreoffice without error.

Thanks vanadium, I overlooked the fact libreoffice from the ppa had not been removed.
