Mike, I use the LO PPA to install all the upgrades to my 64-bit Linux Mint box (currently 17.1) , which means that they are installed automatically via the Update Manager - i e, I don't have to look for them in Synaptic or use «apt-get» in a terminal to install them. Very convenient, but as I recently mentioned on another thread, Base seems to be missing from the latest version (4.4.0.3) installed on this computer - in any event, when I click the Base icon in LibreOffice nothing at all happens, and when I enter «soffice --base» in a terminal, LibreOffice opens not to Base, but to Writer !... I'm not a frequent user of Base, but I can't recall encountering this problem with previous versions of LO on Mint. I note that all LO services, including Base, work just fine on my Windows 64-bit 8.1 box. Any suggestions as to what may be wrong and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated !...
