Re: can not install openoffice
This is how I normally install OpenOfice on linux (Xubuntu 18.04.3 but also other earlier versions)
In a Terminal type
Do not omit the * at the end of the command.
From http://www.openoffice.org/download/
select the installation candidate of the language version you need - it will be "linux DEB", probably 64 bit (you will know if your computer is 32 or 64 bit)
and let this download.
It will be a tar.gz file. Change to your Download directory
Continuing in the same terminal window use
to expand the file. Depending on the language etc, this will take place into /Downloads/en-US (or similar).
Continuing in the same terminal window
then
now close the terminal, and you should find OpenOffice in your Office group.
Note that it has taken me longer to type all this than to install a version of OpenOffice on linux!
Do not overlook that in linux case is important in terminal commands.
In a Terminal type
Code: Select all
sudo purge libreoffice*

cd en-US (or as appropriate)
cd DEBS
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
cd desktop-integration
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Re: can not install openoffice
Did you install the desktop-integration package? If so then you should find OpenOffice in the same place where you formerly found LibreOffice.

Re: can not install openoffice
Once one has installed the desktop-integration package, OpenOffice components should show up in an Office folder.
To prove you have installed it correctly, in a terminal, type openoffice4 and press Enter. (note: no caps) That should start up OpenOffice if it is installed on your computer.
