Ubuntu – Ubuntu 14.04 LibreOffice NOT opening

14.04libreoffice

When I try to open LibreOffice it does not open. I have tried to research this and have not found an answer. I tried opening it from terminal and here is the error that I received:

/usr/lib/libreoffice/program$ libreoffice 
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/oosplash: relocation error:
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/../ure-link/lib/libuno_sal.so.3:

Best Answer

If you have added the ppa for the latest libreoffice:

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:libreoffice/ppa

Try doing the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libreoffice

If that doesn't work, then:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice
sudo apt-get install libreoffice

This should work unless you have completely messed libreoffice up.
