How to install LibreOffice?

Post#1 by Karmi » 09 Apr 2022, 17:53

Using Porteus 5.0-rc3 Cinnamon. Am going in circles wid LibreOffice. Had downloaded libreoffice-7.3.2-x86_64-1alien.txz from Slackware Repositories & converted it to libreoffice-7.3.2-x86_64-1alien.xzm

Moved it to porteus > modules folder & rebooted

Open Menu ‘n Office wid it suite is there; however, suite apps start to open – spinning, but then stops.

Saw something about it after searching: update-libreoffice then update-libreoffice en-US but it said “DONE” after downloading ‘n just set there.

What am I doing wrong? (Note - Am using LibreOffice-Still Applmage temporarily since it doesn’t seem to show up in Menu list)

Hi Karmi. Do you activated or copied libreoffice xzm module to /modules after run update-libreoffice?

First few times I copied it to the module. Later I saw the update-libreoffice and ran that...it said later that I already had the latest LibreOffice version.

Update: Blaze...I took a hint from your reply, and removed all signs of my downloaded libreoffice-7.3.2-x86_64-1alien.txz from Slackware Repositories 'n installation attempts.

Then I ran the update-libreoffice en-US command 'n let the system "build LibreOffice" for me. Excellent job!!! \o/ ’Hippity hip Hoorah’ \o/

Thanks!
