Re: [libreoffice-users] Upgrade to LibreOffice 3.5.1 on Xubuntu?

Hi Edwin,

This method has worked very reliably for me over the last three years 
with both OpenOffice, and now LibreOffice. I prefer the versions 
directly from LibreOffice. When I do a system upgrade, like I will be 
doing for 12.04, I always replace the Ubuntu version with the version 
from LibreOffice. Download from:
http://www.libreoffice.org/
By default it always shows me the RPM version instead of the DEB version 
on the download page. Make sure you get the DEB version. I've never 
bothered with the help files. Once both the program and the menus are 
installed you can easily add the icons back to the launcher by clicking 
on the Dash button and typing in Libre, and then dragging the icons you 
want to the launcher bar. Below are the instructions for both the 32 bit 
and 64 bit versions:

*32 Bit Version:*
1. Download LibO_3.5.1_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz to the 
desktop, or copy it to the desktop.
Right click on it and extract it to the desktop. This will give you the 
folder LibO_3.5.1rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US .
2. In the terminal, run the following commands:
sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*.*
sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/LibO_3.5.1rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/*.deb
sudo dpkg -i 
~/Desktop/LibO_3.5.1rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.5-debian-menus_3.5-102_all.deb


*64 Bit Version:*
1. Download LibO_3.5.1_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz to the 
desktop, or copy it to the desktop.
Right click on it and extract it to the desktop. This will give you the 
folder LibO_3.5.1rc2_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US
2. In the terminal, run the following commands:
sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*.*
sudo dpkg -i 
~/Desktop/LibO_3.5.1rc2_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/*.deb
sudo dpkg -i 
~/Desktop/LibO_3.5.1rc2_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.5-debian-menus_3.5-102_all.deb
