Hello,please excuse my bad english.I have a problem. Since the libreoffice update from 3.5.6 to 3.6.1.4 libreoffice don't start. For a short time i see the splash-screen and that's it. In the terminal, when i type soffice or lowriter or libreoffice --writer i can't see any message. Also i deleted the ~/.config/libreoffice folder. But that doesn't help.

Just update, Clean install, from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS. Disappointed that OpenOffice was not included. In any case, attempting to use LibreOffice Writer was extremely frustrating and I still have not accomplished what I need to accomplish.

When I open LibreOffice Writer, click on File -> New -> Labels the program responds by closing.

When I minimize an open document I am working on in LibreOffice Writer, it disappears into the launcher panel. It does not show any little white arrow beside the LibreOffice writer icon. When I click it, it opens up a new document. I cannot get my original document back unless I do Super+W.

Does anyone have a fix, or is this a new bug? Running 12.04 LTS.

I want to open LibreOffice and Zotero at the same time as LibreOffice has to have Zotero running in firefox or stand alone to use the LibreOffice plugin.

Some PowerPoint presentations (.ppt files) seem to be trying to open in LibreOffice Writer.

When opening the file, it asks for a character encoding, then opens as a Writer document with gibberish in it.

The presentation files in question open correctly on a computer running Ubuntu 12.04 with LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 bu

Hi everyone,So the changelog for Libreoffice 3.6 said that it could finally use the oxygen-gtk theme to make it look "KDE-ish" and use gradiants for windows and stuffs. But on my installation, it does not seem to use it. Or, well, only partially : it uses the right color scheme, but it does not use the oxygen-style windows, like Filezilla does, which is a GTK app too.

libreoffice doesn't start 13 weeks 3 days ago

After I managed to make Ubuntu start properly and made it look OK I just realized the libreoffice doesn't work at all. It shows the start screen and then it just stops... nothing else. I tried to have it running from the terminal and this is what I got:

libreoffice --writer

Bus error (core dumped)

any clues about what should I try?

Please help...

I have a new and unusual problem which I believe may have started when I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10, but which may have occurred later.

When I first boot up my computer and start LibreOffice Writer, everything seems fine. After about two hours of switching back and forth between various applications, I start to notice slow scrolling.

I've been having trouble with LibreOffice starting. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, and I have two different user accounts on my computer. LibreOffice used to work fine, but for the past few days I can only use LibreOffice (calc, writer, or any of the programs) when logged in as one of the users. When I'm logged in on the other account if I click on the launcher icon it just blinks and does nothing.
