Quote from: dentalcher on August 27, 2021, 03:51:00 PMThanks again! Yes, I just activated Timeshift. Is this ok even if I am now having problem installing updates?.. so my LO issue is solved. Now my new issue is I can't update (I made a new post). Thank you @Moltke and @j8a !Good. Yes, it is. Just one word of advice, timeshift can create scheduled snapshots, and these might take some disk's space over time, so if you plan on sticking with that, you should keep an eye on it, so the disk doesn't run out of space, remove the older ones and leave only the most recent ones. I personally have that deactivated, and take manual snapshots when needed, like when an important system or mayor kernel update happens.

What I did this time is run Linux Lite Live first for a long time, almost the whole night - this part I didn't give much time before as my 1st install in my old hard drive was successful at first try... At first, it took a while to open Writer, Calc, and Impress, but finally, they opened! then I created test documents, attached in emails, saved in documents folder while running LL live before I finally re-installed LL. I was able to open LO after installing LL! I created many test docs like I did in live. At one point there was some glitch, the presentation I created wouldn't open again, so I shut down and reboot after a minute. I was able to open the file again.... so far, so good. I hope LO stays this way. If I encounter the same problem again, I will try to do all the suggestions posted here.. Thank you very much!Glad is working. This is a good time to back up, use timeshift, and create a snapshot of the system, should anything go wrong, you can just revert to a working state using that snapshot, from there you could investigate what went wrong and hopefully prevent it from happening again. This is a nice thread with lots of tips and tricks on how to use timeshift https://www.linux.org/threads/timeshift-similar-solutions-safeguard-recover-your-linux.15241/ give it a read, learn, and enjoy.

Hi @dentalcher ,I wonder whether you can try to remove libreoffice and do a fresh reinstall.You could execute the follwoing command on the terminal:sudo apt remove libreoffice-* --purge Then, type yes at the prompt asking to proceed with this command and reboot.After the reboot you can choose to install libreoffice again. I always use the terminal, but you can also try from Install/Remove Software.In the terminal you could type the following command.sudo apt install libreoffice-* and ask yes at the prompt.Regards,
I have a few suggestions you can try:1. To use a different version other than the one provided by the distro, for example, you could try the latest, 7.2.0, or the previous one 7.1.5, by downloading the .deb file from here https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/ then install it by either selecting it and hitting Enter or by double-clicking on the file, also, you could try the .Appimage too https://www.libreoffice.org/download/appimage/ I recommend downloading fresh which I use and am sure it works. Here's how AppImages work https://docs.appimage.org/introduction/quickstart.html#ref-quickstart launch LO, do something and check whether the issue persists. 2. To Burn/write Linux Lite .iso file to a USB stick(the same way you did to install it) boot up the Live system, launch LO, do something and check whether the issue persists. Report back your findings, including any errors you may get in your reply. Screenshots are good too. By the way, to attach files, like the one you tried to, click on Attachments and other options, then select the file in the dialog popup box from your computer, because this file:///home/cherrylinux/Desktop/sysreport-Thursday-26-August-2021-18:13:17.html. never made it to the forum. Hope this helps!
Thanks, again. I will try your suggestions ASAP... and for your corrections in posting, too. Much appreciated!
