Note also that it does not remove LO v4.0.

#3

libreoffice4.1-debian-menus_4.1.0-4_all.deb is now in the main DEBS directory.

All the icons were created properly in my xubuntu 13.04 “Mouse->Office” menu, and v4.1 Calc fired up properly.

#4

Further details about this change (between v4.0 and v4.1) can be found in this LO Dev mailing list thread: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/LO-4-1-0-debian-desktop-integration-package-td4065951.html

#5

@oweng your link does not work, it contains some html code at the end!

#6

@VS, yes, sorry. There has been a problem with the link handler in the Askbot engine of the site since the upgrade to v0.7.48 on 4 July. I can’t edit the comment anymore as there is only a 10 minute window of opportunity for doing so. You will have to copy the link and remove the tag from the end for the time being.

#7

Please read the Info from package libreoffice4.1-debian-menus_4.1.0-4_all.deb

I do not understand this answer. Nor the LO Dev link. How do I get desktop integration back? I installed everything in the DEBS directory (which does have the menus supposedly), but there are no desktop links at all. How do I get them back onto the left-hand bar?

#9

Which distribution and version are you using? If you are still unable to obtain the menu entries after installing all files in the DEBS/ directory then you may either still have a stub from a prior installation installed or be experiencing a bug.

#10

I have Ubuntu 13.04. I removed the old apps from the application manager. How do I remove the old stubs?
The instructions in the README file are definitely wrong and need to be fixed.
Thanks for the help.

#11

I am having the same problem i.e.No desktop integration. I just (yesterday) download the version from the LO site 4.1.0.4

#12

I tried

sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice*

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get autoremove

and reinstalled the new package, and still no icons. I dids notice that although the packages are:
LibreOffice_4.1.0.4_Linux_x86-64_deb and
LibreOffice_4.1.0.4_Linux_x86-64_deb_helppack_en-US, the things inside are all amd64.

#13

@jarome, amd64 = x86_64 as Intel lost that particular bitwise contest. If you are running Ubuntu then you will need to install from the PPA to obtain desktop integration: How to update LO to 4.1 in Ubuntu? @dogluvver, what distribution are you running?

#14

I updated the repository and used the PPA and still get no icons for LibreOffice in Ubuntu 13.04.

#15

I just noticed this permissions bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67441 Please ensure that your installed files have the correct permission (root:root). This issue does not seem to be affecting me here, but then again I run a very basic desktop or may have simply been lucky the permissions did not collide with existing definitions.

#16

Actually, it now appears that https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67441 is a duplicate of https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67388 which has been fixed for v4.1.1.

#17

Under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (64 bit) and 4.1.0.4 version of Libreoffice, the icons were not all there in the unity dashboard. I was able to restore them all by using the Main Menu application and selecting the missing icons under “Office” and rebooting. All is well now. :slight_smile:
