[libreoffice-users] Off-line Help
I have been trying to install the LibreOffice Off-line help. So far no joy. I wonder it the off-line help could be added to the repository. I have LibreOffice 7.5.3.2 installed on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS. Thanks in advance for any assistance. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

Joe Hope not only the help file but both: The whole LO from LibreOffice.org and not a part form Ubuntu and another part of LibreOffice.org. So please have a look at file:///opt/libreoffice7.3/help ist there exist any help. Then only the link is wrong. And the link will be set from the main program. Just wondering. I'm using Fedora and it has the has 7.1.8.1 as the default Libreoffice. I've also installed 7.2.6.2 and 7.3.1.3 on the system, and can run whichever one I want from Application Office Menu. This is one issue I have. For each version I download the version of the RPMs, and also download the local help RPM as well. Extract the files, and then copy the help RPM files to same location as the other rpms, and then install. This puts the help files in the correct location. Have a little script I use to automate process and create a file I can copy to other systems to install. newlib=$(ls -1 LibreOffice_$1*.gz |tail -n 1 | cut -f1,2 -d_) mkdir $newlib cd $newlib/ for a in ../$newlib*.gz ; do tar xvf $a ; done for a in $(find . | grep "\.rpm") ; do mv $a .; done rpm -Uvh *.rpm tar -Jcvf ../$newlib.xz *.rpm rm l*.rpm -f rm LibreOffice_$1* -R -f cd .. rmdir $newlib Just to jump in late in this discussion, here is the script that I use to install help: cd ~/Downloads/LO/LibreOffice_7.3.1.3_Linux_x86-64_deb_helppack_en-US/DEBS/ sudo dpkg -i *.deb Note that at this stage, I have unzipped the 7.3.1.3 zipped file in the folder ~/Downloads/LO/. You would have to change the address to the folder containing the helppack zipped file. Then use the terminal to run this two line command. I have a feeling that when you used dpkg to install the program that you may not have used it to then install help. I have a scrip that does both. Again, the location of the LibreOffice files has to be changed. The script then needs to be made executiable. cd ~/Downloads/LO/LibreOffice_7.3.1.3_Linux_x86-64_deb/DEBS/ sudo dpkg -i *.deb cd ~/Downloads/LO/LibreOffice_7.3.1.3_Linux_x86-64_deb_helppack_en-US/DEBS/ sudo dpkg -i *.deb Dan Regards Robert -- Homepage: https://www.familiegrosskopf.de/robert -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

My offline help path is file:///tmp/lu28183k53.tmp/NewHelp3.html and
the file is not found.
As Robert has said, this is completely wrong. Under Debian 11 the file
is accessed via:
file:///opt/libreoffice7.3/help/en-GB/text/shared/05/new_help.html?System=UNIX=WRITER=.uno:HelpIndex#bm_id3806162
My guess is that you installed LibreOffice from an Ubuntu repository,

particularly stupid location - the clue is in the name. It's temporary.
I downloaded the help file from LibreOffice.org. Joe
