Re: [libreoffice-users] LO won't open - claims Default.ott is corrupt

I had the same error on the last 3.x.x version and once on an early 4.x.x version. I know that renaming the user profile [Ubuntu 64-bit 12.xx and 14.xx] back then was the only way it removed the error[s]. I still rename the profile when I get errors that I cannot fix. Latest was on Ubuntu

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO won't open - claims Default.ott is corrupt

Hi :) Congrats !! :)) Really good to hear you caught a few rays too. Kubuntu defaults (i think) to re-open everything on reboot and somehow i ended up with that happening in Ubuntu too - probably because i didn't want it to (good ol'Murphy). I'm not sure if it's a simple setting somewhere but i

LO 1:4.2-8-0ubuntu on Xubuntu 14.04, up to date I have used LO (and formerly OO) on Ubuntu for ten years, and there has rarely been a problem. Suddenly LO Writer would not open either of two files that I had been working on. The error message popup said: The file 'filename.odt' is

RE: [libreoffice-users] LO won't open - claims Default.ott is corrupt

Rebooting!!! Of course. I do it so often, that it never occurred to me to think of it as a solution. I'm currently running Mint 18 on my Sony laptop and it often gives me strange behavior when it wakes up from sleep mode so I reboot about every other day. It's just my new normal. Virgil

[libreoffice-users] changing the sidebar in LO Writer

RE: [libreoffice-users] LO won't open - claims Default.ott is corrupt

Before nuking everything, have you tried renaming the entire user profile. It should be a folder called "4". Rename it "4-old". Then restart LO. It will create a new user profile folder. You'll lose any custom settings, but you'll at least know if that's your problem. Virgil Sent from my

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO won't open - claims Default.ott is corrupt

Hi :) Renaming the user-profile will remove all the add-ons but it's probably a good idea anyway. Copying the default.ott from the working computer was brilliant imo, as was trying to rename the previous one to see what happened. I wonder if renaming the whole folder that default.ott is in might
