[Solved] Install on LinuxMint-Version 20 - Cinnamon
Does anybody have a step by step to install AOO on a LinuxMint 20 (Ulyana)?
My skills on CLI is not good, never learned to use CLI, I always used GUI. I guess it is time to start to learn how CLI works. Basically I need a how to install from start to finish with what code or GUI to use and what the syntax has to be written to install AOO, the latest version 4.1.7. Any help you can provide, I would deeply appreciate.

Your linux Mint may have an already provided LibreOffice.
If you require OpenOffice, it will install easily - I've used it on Ubuntu and Ubuntu derivatives from 8.04 on; I install on all my computers using the method below (which I can do in my sleep). I suggest you print this out to have in front of you.
Start a Terminal - I think you should find this under Accessories in Ubuntu as "Terminal Emulator"
In the terminal type
Note that the the trailing * is important.
Go to http://www.openoffice.org/download/ and download the version you require - I will assume you are downloading the standard en-US version Linux 64-bit x86-64 (DEB)
When the file is downloaded
It will extract the files - these are normally extracted to a sub directory of the Downloads folder, in this case called en-US.
Now, in your terminal manoeuvre to that sub folder. This is by the following commands; in your case rory will be replaced by your logon name.
When that has completed, do this
Do not omit this last change of directory and the repeat of the sudo command, as this puts links for OpenOffice into your Office group.
Also note that in linux caps/lowercase are important
It takes longer to write out all this than it actually takes to do!

Rory, you make it look so easy. I am going to try this in the next couple of hours to see what happens. I appreciate all the time it took for you to post. I will respond back on the results. Thank You !!

Keep LO installed. It is definitively the better office suite. Why do you want to install OpenOffice anyway?
In order to install AOO as primary suite while keeping LO you perform the last step like this:

The problem with LO is, it will NOT work like it is supposed to work, especially with Calc. The formulas show, but you run f9 to calculate, it does not. So I will not use it. AOO does work in Windows 10-Pro and should work the same in Linux.

Re: Install on LinuxMint-Version 20 - Cinnamon
If the formulas are showing, rather than the results, check the entry accessed via Tools -> Options (Alt+F12) -> LibreOffice Calc -> View -> Display -> Formulas
If that is checked, then uncheck it and you should see the results of your formulas rather than the formulas.
If that isn't checked, then verify that the cells haven't been formatted as text using the @ symbol under custom formatting.
If you are checking for OpenOffice, the same procedure can be used, with the exception of the fact that the entry LibreOffice Calc will read OpenOffice Calc

Thank you, Villeroy; I had not noticed the intrusive / before Downloads. I have removed it in the original code sequence.

Happens rarely when editing formulas referring to filtered rows: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/sho ... ?id=135125Cherock wrote:The problem with LO is, it will NOT work like it is supposed to work, especially with Calc.

This will be fixed. Hardly anything will ever be fixed in a walking dead project such as AOO.
btw. I can not reproduce the problem with LO6.0 nor 7.0
