Ubuntu – DBF viewer for Ubuntu

software-recommendation

I need to open dbf files on my Ubuntu 15 and as I found LibreOffice can does this. But I'm getting

General Error. General input/output error.

Is there ANY tool or built-in some software tool that can help me?

According to the LibreOffice Wiki you should be able to open .dbf files with LibreOffice Base.

If you still encounter this problem, reinstall LibreOffice:

sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice*
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get install libreoffice

You can also use dbview to open .dbf files (which may be harder to use than LibreOffice Base):

sudo apt-get install dbview

Refer to the manpage for more information on dbview.
