Hi :) There's a tiny "gotcha" in there that i only noticed because i have done the same thing myself. It's the . in
sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*.* Try again but this time without the extra * and the . before it; sudo apt-get remove libreoffice* Not all *nix files have a file-ending and dot. It's not like Windows! Windows hides it's .file-endings but almost always relies on them quite heavily. The end-result looks the same but can still trip people up. My pet bug-bear is how to rename a .html into a .txt and such-like but my work-around is to just avoid using Windows and that solves most such problems!
