How to get a version of LibreOffice without Unity integration?

  • 772

LibreOffice in the latest version of Ubuntu (12.10) is pretty bugged, with several open bugs on things like menus and windows.

How to get a version, even ugly but working, of libreoffice without any unity integration ?

    Just uninstall libreoffice-gtk until https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-appmenu/+bug/1075263 (which is a unity bug and not a libreoffice one btw) is fixed. LibreOffice will be ugly, but the menus will work in the classic way.

  2. You can install LibreOffice from a direct download. Before you do that, remove all other LibreOffice stuff...

    sudo apt-get purge libreoffice*

    You also probably want to do this, too, before installing

    sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get autoremove

    Then, to download the 64 bit version, click here. Other versions can be found here.

    Navigate to the download directory and unpack the install files (command line will use tar xfvz).

    Once you have the .deb files (in the folder DEBS/), install it with this command

    sudo dpkg -i *.deb

    You should be good to go! There is another folder in the unpacked folder called "desktop-integration." You can IGNORE this folder.

  3. I haven't tried it but you should be able to download it from here: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/
