Stories similar to Removed LibreOffice - Now Reinstall Doesn't Ask for Language Selection

UPDATEFound out that pacman -Rc libreoffice left the language files, etc...so, when I reinstalled, it didn't ask me to choose language and thus I had wrong language...I tried pacman -Rs libreoffice and it removed everything, and when I reinstalled, this time it asked me to select my language....

Well, spoke too soon....After rebooting, I found that I could not type in Terminal or Firefox, etc, again...Only way I have discovered to fix this is to open up LibreOffice Writer and I can type into a blank document. Then I able to type in other programs again....Weird!!!!

I just installed this through libreoffice directly and it worked flawlessly.Download the Oxt file here and open with libreoffice and it's set.

LibreOffice printing problem 23 weeks 20 hours ago

If you're needing a solution for a company, Apache OpenOffice is not the way to go about it. LibreOffice is now always ahead of the slowly dying OpenOffice.

I've had some trouble with libreoffice calc in the past.What saved me was the removal of outated libreoffice-extension-* from aur and rm ~.config/libreoffice

Libreoffice 4.0 AUR package 16 weeks 2 days ago

The libreoffice package in [extra] has been flagged out of date since 2/7/2013. In the meanwhile, I've made a simple AUR PKGBUILD for Libreoffice 4.0 using the RPM's available on the libreoffice website. The package can be found at Libreoffice-rpm.
