[Solved] Finding Instructions for UPDATING to 4.1.11

Post by thespian1967 »

Please give me the URL for instructions for updating to 4.1.11. I am a Debian 10 user, I have 4.1.2. My Help/Check for Updates returns a

Status
Checking for an update failed.

Description
Error reading data from the Internet.
Server error message: .

with no specific error message. I have checked and OO is set to check weekly for updates. Also to download them automatically. I guess I have missed a few since I'm .2 and we are now .11.

I have read the Survival FAQ, and searched for keyword: update or updating 4.1.11 and see nothing that makes sense, as most of the hits involve removing the old OO and starting over. But, forgive my inexperience with this, maybe that is how the update is done.

I had previously read that page. Clicking the "Instructions" opens the page for first time installation. I cannot find "updates" on that page. Or anywhere. Thank you.

Just follow the instructions as if it were a first install. When you "update" you are in fact installing a complete, later version of AOO.

Do I need to reinstall the Java products? And if I must install them, which version or release, please?

No, you shouldn't need to do that.
