Ubuntu – LibreOffice Writer opens on top of document

14.04libreofficeupgrade

Just got done upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS from 12.04 LTS on two computers. One is a System 76 the other was an Apple min mac that I completely converted to Ubuntu, I can stand OS X and or Apple.

Problem is when I save a LibreOffice Writer always opens on top of document.

Where previously LibreOffice Writer open documents to the last pace I was editing them.

How do I set Googling LibreOffice Writer to open at the place where I saved it last.

I tried checking LibreOffice Writer options and I could find anything that worked. I tried Googling the problem and found nothing even close to what I I am looking to do.

Thant you in advance, Mark.

I found this answer:

"The cursor position is saved if you fill in the personal information(first and last name are enough). Go to Tools, Options, User Data.

When the user is identified, LibreOffice will open the document where the user left off. This makes sense because a different user opening the same document will probably want to start from the beginning. If there is no user identification LibreOffice assumes it is a new user and always opens from the beginning."

Ok, I found the answer to this issue. Here is solution:

Fixing Java Framework Error

You may get the following error when you try to run OpenOffice.

[Java framework] Error in function createSettingsDocument (elements.cxx).
javaldx failed!

If so, give yourself ownership of ~/.config/ like so:

sudo chown -vR username:users ~/.config

Ubuntu – Libreoffice crashes when saving document (tried deleting profile dir)

That seems to be an issue of libreoffice-kde package. Looks like it is this already filled bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=695025

As a workaround, you either uninstall libreoffice-kde or disable the kde file dialog in Tools > Options > General by checking Use LibreOffice dialogs.
