Comment 9 for bug 709778

Hi Fabian

I have purged the openoffice install, then to be doubly sure, I then did find . -depth / | grep -i openoffice and deleted any files/folders that were found

Then did an apt-get clean all

Then added the libreoffice repository

Then did an apt-get update

Then installed libreoffice from the ppa

Again, the issue is solely visible on the netbook running ubuntu 10.04, yet not the laptop, running ubuntu 10.04.

As an aside note, reverting back to OpenOffice is not so straight forward. Removing libreoffice leaves behind lots of files, and also to get back to OpenOffice had to ure and uno-libs as well libreoffice, before OpenOffice would successfully re-install.

I have tried this 3 separate times on my netbook, all to no avail, the same issue is hit everytime.

I want to avoid installing the debs directly, as I want to use the repositories. I'm hoping this issue will be fixed soon, as until it is, I can't move to libreoffice on my netbook, at least not with ubuntu installed.

Looking around, it appears that other people on other distribution are having similar issues, it's a real shame as it's not the best advert for libreoffice, or ubuntu when it happens, especially when the issue doesn't happen on certain other O/S's or hardware.
