Linux system, Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS, Dowwnloaded and executed the ./install for libreoffice 24.8.2. The previous install was from the ubuntu software, 24.2.6.2.
Fine. It installed, I can (apparently) get it by typing libreoffice at a command prompt.
Then we are in crazyland. My old libreoffice icons still go to 24.2.6.2. I donât know what typing libreoffice at the command line gives, version->help says 7.6.7.2. What is that? The recent documents are different, and wrong, so I canât open them, and all of the create icons are greyed out, so I canât create anything. Use open file to open an .odt document, I get a werid menu that wants me to open it as a chart.
I just want to upgrade the version of libreoffice. I donât care if it keeps or does not keep the old version. The installation seems damaged, even though it ran fine. What is going on?
