Hi :) Ahh, yes, most of the guide is about making sure none of the quick-starter or any other back-ground process is running. The only problem with multiple versions is nothing to do with the actual install itself, it's about running them at the same time as that 'cant' be done yet afaik.
It's interesting to hear that possibly pre-3.5.x can be run at the same time as a 3.5.x or later. I wonder if a AOO can be run at the same time as a 3.5.x or later too?

My tower uses Ubuntu 11.10 (64 bit). Right now I have LO 3.4.6, 3.5.6, 3.6.1, AND AOO 3.4.1. Side note: If I want to run say 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 installing in parallel might be a good idea. I have found that I can not run 3.5.6 and 3.6.1 at the same time. Yet I can run either one of them with LO 3.4.6 or AOO 3.4.1. So I can have three different "soffice" instances running at the same time as long as two of them are 3.5 and 3.6. This is true even when I use these two: /opt/libreoffice3.6/program/soffice /opt/libreoffice3.5/program/soffice --Dan > > --- On Wed, 29/8/12, Andreas Säger <[email protected]> wrote: > > From: Andreas Säger <[email protected]> > Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: Update to 3.6.1 > To: [email protected] > Date: Wednesday, 29 August, 2012, 19:05 > > Am 29.08.2012 18:55, Peter Hillier-Brook wrote: >> On 29/08/12 16:03, Peter Hillier-Brook wrote: >>> I've just updated to LibO 3.6.1 and hit the following problem when >>> trying to access my address book >>> >>> Does anyone recognise it, Google doesn't? >>> ___________________________________________________________________________ >>> >>> The attempt to load the file resulted in the following error message >>> (com.sun.star.lang.IllegalArgumentException): >>> >>> Unsupported URL <file:///home/phb/..../AddressBook.ods> >>> ___________________________________________________________________________ >>> >>> >>> Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit >>> Java 1.7_06 (and 05) >>> >>> All was well with LibO 3.6.0 and Java 1.7_05 just prior to the upgrade, >>> carried out by complete removal of 3.6.0 via Synaptic and clean >>> installation of the "real" product, downloaded from the LibreOffice web >>> site via dpkg -iR >> >> Interestingly everything is fine on a 32 bit installation! >> >> > > Hi, > Since many years I use to update my office suites without removal.
