Hi :)
I have often heard grumbles about the insanity of Ubuntu's package maintainers but they have never
got close to troubling me before. Still haven't really but i hope it doesn't create problems for
other people.
I did a clean fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a few different machines and found LO was the
default odf reader/writer. The default desktop environment only has about 6 or 8 things on it's
equivalent of the "taskbar" and about 4 of them are LibreOffice things. Reaching anything else is
a little trickier as menus seem to be old fashioned nowadays.
I've not tried an upgrade from 10.04 LTS or at least not noticed the results being problematic
Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] removing AbiWord from Ubuntu 12.04 kills LO desktop-menus
I noticed that AbiWord was the default ODF file reader when I right-click on a document created
with LO. I just upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04.1 64-bit from 10.04.
When I use the package manager to remove AbiWord, it removed things like the desktop menu listing
for LO in Office and some other LO packages. When I did a reinstall, the desktop menu creation
failed due to a LO-core issue. So I needed to remove all of the LO package files and do a "fresh
install".
Why AbiWord removal removes LO packages, I do not know.
Why did re-installing LO over the working 3.5.6 to replace the "removed" or "broken" packages,
cause the desktop menu error, I do not know.
Why it took a removal of LO from the system and a "fresh" install to get it working again, I do
not know.
But for anyone using Ubuntu 12.04, be sure to remove AdiWord before you install LO on your system.
12.10 comes out in about a week, so this might be an issue there as well, if 12.10 installs
AdiWord when you want LO's newest.
By-the-way Ubuntu 12.04.1 installs LO 3.5.4 by default, so removing that version to use 3.5.6,
"forces" Ubuntu to install AbiWord during the removal of 3.5.4, so you will have some
wordprocessor.
