Thanks a lot
I install it right now, I used Sabily 11.04 (Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal)
libreoffice beta2 available in the same ppa. But it is install in Ubuntu 13.04 development version only[raring]
Ok. thanks for your quick reply
Trying it now, thanks!
thanks alot!
Can anyone get Bibus to work with LibreOffice 4?
how can i change subdirectory called ” desktop-integration ”
?
Change to directory using comand : ” cd desktop-integration ” in the terminal
Installation seems to work, at least I can call Libreoffice from the application menu. What does not work is calling the individual programs (with filenames as arguments) from the command line. I used to do something like ‘localc sample.xls’, but ‘localc’ no longer exists. Is there a way of re-defining localc, lowriter, etc?
Actually in manual, installation path of binary is in /opt/libreoffice4.0/program. So export path using command ” export “
Using command
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/libreoffice4.0/program/
checking by command
echo $PATH
Note: binary names as scal than localc.
I followed the instructions but it’s still LibreOffice 3.6. I use Elementary OS, but I don’t see why that would matter.
For elementary os, Ubuntu version used is precise. ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-prereleases doesnot have libreoffice 4.0 packages for ubuntu precise. So you need to install manually as given in the post.
