I suggest you run the command by parts (and look at the output after each command), this will demonstrate better than I can explain with words what it does, i.e.: NEWVERSION="1:6.4.4-0ubuntu0.20.04.1" apt list --upgradable apt list --upgradable | grep $NEWVERSION apt list --upgradable | grep $NEWVERSION | cut -d/ -f1 apt list --upgradable | grep $NEWVERSION | cut -d/ -f1 | tr \\n " " (in summary, it builds a list of packages to upgrade to the new version, and passes it to "sudo apt install", to make sure you upgrade only libreoffice and related packages from focal-proposed, not all the rest) Note that at the time of this writing, the build in focal-proposed still hasn't finished, so you'll need to be a bit more patient before doing this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1869561 Title: Libreoffice Help does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1869561/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1869561] Re: Libreoffice Help does not work
I don't suppose you could explain some of that could you? The install command is too complex for a simple fellow like myself - from the cut command on (I get as far as the selection of upgradable items with a name that includes the version number). I don't think I'm in danger of getting updates I don't want, since the instructions in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed say they prevent that.

[Bug 1869561] Re: Libreoffice Help does not work
I'm not familiar with aptitude, but once all the packages are fully built and published in focal-proposed, the following commands should do the trick: sudo apt update NEWVERSION="1:6.4.4-0ubuntu0.20.04.1" sudo apt install $(apt list --upgradable | grep $NEWVERSION | cut -d/ -f1 | tr \\n " ") Don't forget to disable the focal-proposed repository after the upgrade, otherwise you will keep on getting proposed versions for all Ubuntu packages, thus potentially compromising the stability of your system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1869561 Title: Libreoffice Help does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1869561/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Tim: the version that you're wanting to test is still building. It takes a long time for Libreoffice to build.

Tim: thanks for testing and confirming the fix. Indeed the repository you used for testing is different from 'proposed'. The above comment means that the update with the fix to this bug is being built in the Ubuntu archive (focal-proposed), and will soon be available for testing from there. Once it is confirmed (by either you or someone else interested in the issue) that the package in focal-proposed does fix the problem indeed, then it will be made available to all users in focal-updates. If you feel like double-checking the fix, then you can follow the instructions in comment #24, and your feedback will be very welcome.

Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B.

I think I really am on 6.4.4 rc1. Reverting to the original xcd it reports the correct version. I was a little nervous about replacing the xcd (I have no idea what it does), so I'll revert to the original one for now. If there are some fairly simple changes I could make I'd be happy to try that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1869561 Title: Libreoffice Help does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1869561/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1869561] Re: Libreoffice Help does not work
Sharing some findings after having poked a bit to the issue, the problems come from the /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/registry/main.xcd configuration, copying that file from the Debian build makes the documentation open in the default webbrowser and work. The Ubuntu version is having no mention of DesktopBackend which seems relevant The build log has those warnings which don't exist in Debian or Bionic '... no obvious way to instantiate implementation "com.sun.star.comp.configuration.Update" no obvious way to instantiate implementation "com.sun.star.comp.configuration.backend.DesktopBackend" no obvious way to instantiate implementation "com.sun.star.comp.configuration.backend.KF5Backend" ...' They seem to come from tests and probably not the direct but could hint on an issue, if the backend fails to load then it could end up missing from the configuration There is nothing obvious in the packaging diff between Debian and Ubuntu though... Including the Debian file so it's easier for other to check the differences / test if it works for them as well by copying it over the system one -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1869561 Title: Libreoffice Help does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1869561/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1869561] Re: Libreoffice Help does not work
It sounds like the problem is trying to open the local help custom UI, instead of the expected behaviour (opening the local HTML help in a browser). The debs produced by TDF do open the help in a browser, so there is a functional discrepancy here that should be investigated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1869561 Title: Libreoffice Help does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1869561/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I wish the local help could be included in the normal installation. It looks as if the change to the web-based version in earlier versions has been removed, but the local help doesn't work outside of snaps.

The problem appears to be only in 6.4.X deb. Here's what I've tested. * The 6.4.2 snap works probably because we are including the help directly, so that help opens the actual help rather than directing the user to the web. * 6.4.2.2 deb = broken * 6.4.1-0ubuntu1 deb = broken * 6.4.0-0ubuntu8 = broken * 6.3.5-0ubuntu0.19.10.1 = works -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1869561 Title: Libreoffice Help does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1869561/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
