[Dropped] Copy/Paste/Undo fail, AOO 4.1.15, Ubuntu 24.04

[feesgo]

I use Ubuntu 24.04

I downloaded open office 4.1.15

I uncompressed it and the install with this commands:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Then i run the commands

cd desktop-integration
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

I started to work with open office writer but there is a weird behavior.

The key combinations:

Control + c

Control + v

Control + z

Suddenly stops to work…

Then I write something and only question marks appear…

Sadly it is impossible to work with open office so I install libreoffice

I have used open office for several years in ubuntu 18, ubuntu 20, ubuntu 22...

If you use dpkg to install, the usual command is

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg -i *.deb desktop-integration/*.deb

Try running

Code: Select all

sudo desktop-integration/*.deb

in the folder that containg the desktop-integration folder

I installed OpenOffice 4.1.15 on Ubuntu 24.04 and it ran correctly.

It is important to also run the dpkg command in the desktop-integration folder of the unpacked install files - this second run of the dpkg package is often overlooked on DEB installs.

[edit, later] After an installation, it may not be out of place to rebuild the font cache. That certainly won't do any harm.
