Description: Currently, LibreOffice auto-updates are bugged – they remain enabled even when disabled via settings or policy, and often lead to uncontrolled background updates or even full "reinstallations." I’m looking for a way to manually trigger a MAR update for LibreOffice – without enabling automatic updates system-wide. I want to run a targeted update via script – like a scheduled task to trigger an update. My questions: - Is there a known way to manually trigger MAR updates for LibreOffice? - What parameters are needed for the command line (target, version, etc.)? - Where can I find a list of available MAR files or LibreOffice versions? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated! Best regards Steps to Reproduce: / Actual Results: / Expected Results: / Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: /
Afaik... - you can start it in Security Mode that _i think_ forces an update check. - you can also start it (in windows) from run using LIBO_UPDATER_TEST_ENABLE "1" ( soffice.exe -env:LIBO_UPDATER_TEST_ENABLE=1 ) - see Bug 162648 for more info. - Libreoffice gets mars from https://update-mar.libreoffice.org/, however you're not able to see it using "a browser". Still when libreoffice gets updated, mar is supposed to be available in the next week (libreoffice it self updates once a week) as you can see at: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan hope it helps
I can confirm this bug being present on 25.2.2 Windows AARCH 64. There is an unrelated UI bug happening on 25.2.4 (no icons shown at all) and I am unable to keep 25.2.2 installed. I specifically unselected "Online Updates" during the installation process, yet it forces an upgrade to 25.2.3 -> 25.2.4 when I start up libreoffice. So not only can I not use the latest version because I basically have no UI, I also cannot use an older version because the updater FORCES an upgrade.
