Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: QUESTION: Libreoffice documents constantly need recovery

Hi :)

Sometimes it is better to use the LibreOffice that is in the repositories 
because they have been tweaked for your specific distro.  The .debs should work 
fine on all Debian family distros but sometimes it's better to have one 
fine-tuned to your specific distro.  


Which version of Ubuntu; 10.04LTS (Lucid), 10.10 (Maveric) or 11.04 (Natty)?  I 
think Natty has LibreOffice in the standard repos and for the earlier ones you 
can add a "PPA" to expand the repos.  I'm not sure how to set-up ppas but the 
url of the one i use in 10.04 is
http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu

Also the LibreOffice versions 3.3.2 and 3.3.3 are much more stable than the 
3.4.1 although if you are using the 3.4.1 you might want to try the 3.4.2 that 
was fully released earlier today.  You can keep the one you already have 
installed and try another to compare but only by using the instructions in this 
guide
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel
I think that guide might be worth looking through anyway if you have installed 
and uninstalled a lot of times.  


If you need to compare 2 documents or different versions of the same document i 
think there are soem good tools in LibreOffice to help make that a lot easier.  
The Writer Guide might be able to help
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

recovery

Hi David:

Actually, even closing correctly the document and without close Ubuntu, when
start any of the LO programs (for example Impress) appears again the same
dialog box with the recovery tool and the error log (that I can't find in my
home folder).

I downloaded and installed the debs packages several times and the results
are the same. I don't now if the problem is either LO or a compatibility
issue with ubuntu, java, etc.

The issue that i'm bother about is when the recovery dialog appears, I don't
now if the recovered document is the same that the last I saved, and is very
uncomfortable to have to check if the changes are still there, more if the
document is large (like a thesis).

Regards

Juan
