Hi Edwin,
This method has worked very reliably for me over the last three years
with both OpenOffice, and now LibreOffice. I prefer the versions
directly from LibreOffice. When I do a system upgrade, like I will be
doing for 12.04, I always replace the Ubuntu version with the version
from LibreOffice. Download from:
http://www.libreoffice.org/
By default it always shows me the RPM version instead of the DEB version
on the download page. Make sure you get the DEB version. I've never
bothered with the help files. Once both the program and the menus are
installed you can easily add the icons back to the launcher by clicking
on the Dash button and typing in Libre, and then dragging the icons you
want to the launcher bar. Below are the instructions for both the 32 bit
and 64 bit versions:
*32 Bit Version:*
1. Download LibO_3.5.1_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz to the
desktop, or copy it to the desktop.
Right click on it and extract it to the desktop. This will give you the
folder LibO_3.5.1rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US .
2. In the terminal, run the following commands:
sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*.*
sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/LibO_3.5.1rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/*.deb
sudo dpkg -i
~/Desktop/LibO_3.5.1rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.5-debian-menus_3.5-102_all.deb
*64 Bit Version:*
1. Download LibO_3.5.1_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz to the
desktop, or copy it to the desktop.
Right click on it and extract it to the desktop. This will give you the
folder LibO_3.5.1rc2_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US
2. In the terminal, run the following commands:
sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*.*
sudo dpkg -i
~/Desktop/LibO_3.5.1rc2_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/*.deb
sudo dpkg -i
~/Desktop/LibO_3.5.1rc2_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.5-debian-menus_3.5-102_all.deb

So I've got this laptop running Xubuntu 11.10 and I loaded LibreOffice
3.4.5 onto it last fall from the Ubuntu Software Center, but now I
want to upgrade to 3.5.1 but the Ubuntu Software Center says I've got
the newest version (3.4.5). Is there a trick to installing the
software from the LibreOffice Web site on Xubuntu (or any flavor of
Ubuntu, for that matter)? Thanks in advance!
Edwin
