AOO has not announced a precise, and consistent release schedule for their software.

Historically, AOO has had a long time lag in releasing new versions, features, bug fixes, and security updates. LibreOffice releases are fast, timely, and on a scheduled maintenance cadence.

LibreOffice is the default office productivity suite in Ubuntu. Instead, please remove the package openoffice-debian-menus first before upgrading.Īpache OpenOffice (AOO) / (OOo) is not supported in Ubuntu. It's not a bug, and will be marked Invalid.

If you have a crash, and a window pops up asking to report to Launchpad something like:.

Package libreoffice-common (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/soffice', which is also in package openoffice-debian-menus We all want to see every bug fixed as soon as possible! Naturally, bugs being fixed is limited to reproducibility and clarity of the bug report, the actual impact the bug has on the community, and available developer resources. This type of behavior is nonconstructive, irritating to others who read your comment, and does not incentivize developers to want to fix your problem. Also, please do not complain about how long it takes to release a patch, the severity of your bug is high so it should be fixed immediately, 'I cannot believe it's not fixed.', etc. Please do not report a LibreOffice bug without first reading this wiki article and performing all the relevant actions mentioned here.

The Whole system hangs or boots to the login screen.

LibreOffice crashes but system still functional.
