Re: [libreoffice-users] Libreoffice corrupted by Ubuntu failed upgrade

When I've had stuff I MUST recover after an event like this, I find the
easiest way is to make a new user account, and set the permissions on the
old user account folder to either be owned by the new user, or open to the
drive, depending on my mood and the distribution's built in networking.

I won't try to give you a detailed instruction, but once you have a new
user account, and are sure it is the default user that will login when the
system boots, "chown" is the secret to allow access to your older files.
