I installed Ubuntu 20.04 on my daughters laptop. She had no problems with the previous Ubuntu, but this bug is too hard for an ordinary user to fix. She opens a document from Firefox to Libreoffice, and the document doesn't exist. Since those two applications are most important to her, it makes the laptop unusable. This is such a big usability problem this should really not have become part of Ubuntu 20.04.
Out of ideas I moved to an external (less trusted) normal libreoffice deb package. Meaning she now doesn't get any libreoffice security updates which is bad. But the laptop is usable again. Will this be fixed? Or should I move to another distribution that has regular packages? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1790608 Title: [snap] Libreoffice does not open files from thunderbird (more general: from /tmp) Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I received a document via e-mail in Thunderbird. I have the Libreoffice snap package installed. When I want to open the document from Thunderbird, I see the Libreoffice splash screen, and then a dialog stating "/tmp/mozilla_<user>0/<filename>.docx does not exist." The same dialog appears when I navigate to the folder in Files and want to open it. When I copy the file to my desktop, however, I can open it without problems. I guess the source of the issue is confinement, that the Libreoffice snap can only access files from $HOME. But this breaks the case where thunderbird creates a temporary copy in /tmp.
