Description val veirs 2014-05-08 14:45:36 UTC

I have a complete UBUNTU 14.04 install (after a failed upgrade from 13.10).
LibreOffice was loaded via the CD and ran normally.
I added the extension AltSearch.oxt to Writer.
The little green binoculars did not show up and when I closed and then tried to reopen Writer it would not launch.

I have removed and re-installed LibreOffice multiple times and each time I have the same behavior - none of the programs (Writer, Calc ...) will launch.

I removed the LibreOffice folder from my .config folder and re-installed. No luck.

I have re-installed via Ubuntu's Software Center and via Synaptic with the same results.

It seems that there is some shared file that got messed up, but I am flumoxxed as to how to recover what is a terrific Office suite.

I will deeply appreciate any suggestions and hope that a solution to my problem might assist others.

Thank you,

Did you install some specific fonts? Some may cause problems?

Comment 2 Julien Nabet 2014-05-08 20:14:36 UTC

Should have re read, I confirm some may trigger problems.

Hi Julien,

Thanks for thinking about this problem.

And, no I have not installed any fonts or used any except defaults.

LibreOffice clearly works on Ubuntu 14.04, so you have to find out what is wrong with your install. Please note that bugzilla is not a support channel. see:
