Libre crashes after installing Ubuntu 11.4

[Dada Maheshvarananda]

After 11.4 update, Libre 3.3 crashes upon opening every time.

You may try removing it and try reinstalling again.
I'm not sure, but I think it is some sort of conflict between the "libreoffice" package of the previous version and the "libreoffice" of 11.04.

Yes, I was using Open Office previously. Can you please explain how to remove and reinstall Libre Office?

Using Ubuntu Software Center, I removed and reinstalled Libre Office Suite. Same problem persists. When I open a Word or open office document, the system closes after 1 second.

I wonder if the System Log Viewer has anything that would show the problem? (I don't know which System log would be appropriate.)

Thanks for asking.

Try doing this.

Remove Libreoffice through terminal:

sudo apt-get purge libreoffice libreoffice-gnome

Or try it removing through synaptic package manager.

Installing Libreoffice:


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update && apt-get install libreoffice libreoffice-gnome

Did remove and reinstall commands through terminal. At end, got this:

I think you are not root. Try
sudo su
You might want to run
apt-get update

Thanks. Followed all instructions and repeated the process. Only LibreOffice Writer closes each time. If I have LibreOffice Calc open, for example, the moment I open a Writer doc, the entire suite will close. Any other suggestions?

I wonder if something in my Log File Viewer would indicate what the problem could be that causes LibreOffice to fail?

Finally solved by doing a clean install and formatting my hard drive.:popcorn:
