I had Libreoffice 24.2 that I installed from the .deb packages on the libreoffice website. I got a notification that a new version was available, so I downloaded and installed the 24.8 one. I then noticed that instead of overwriting 24.2 with 24.8 like it has every previous time when I upgraded it, it installed them separately. Whenever I opened a document it was still using the old version.

I then uninstalled 24.2 on the command line through apt, and after that when I tried to start 24.8 I can't get any libreoffice program to start. When I enter:

libreoffice --writer

I get this error:

libreoffice error

I tried uninstalled and reinstalling from the debs provided here:

https://www.libreoffice.org/donate/dl/deb-x86_64/24.8.1/en-US/LibreOffice_24.8.1_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz

by uncompressing the files and entering:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

but I still get that error. How can I fix it?

$ sudo ufw status

22/tcp (v6)                ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)

How can I allow SSH (22/tcp) requests only from a certain region, country or continent?

This question is not related to allowing only requests from localhost, for example, because the IP of locahost is already known. I want something like to have all the IP ranges of a certain country in a text file and embed them into ufw allow rule.

I've looked for a recent answer I can understand (absolute novice) but nothing seemed to address my specific problem.

system summary

My system is set to boot Ubuntu first (see setup screen image). The second boot is Windows 11 home, fully updated as of 2024/09/21.

Each time I switch on I get the following:

Failed to open \EFI\UBUNTU\grubx64.efi - Not Found

Failed to load image __: Not Found

start_image() returned Not Found, falling back to default loader

Failed to open \EFI\UBUNTU\grubx64.efi - Not Found

Failed to load image __: Not Found

start_image() returned Not Found

It then boots into Windows.

Please explain like I'm a kid, how I can make my laptop boot into Ubuntu again?

I should add that I bought it a while back as-is, and I have no install disk for either Windows or Ubuntu.

I'm fairly new to Ubuntu and facing an issue I can't resolve. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it?

Ubuntu Release:

  • No LSB modules are available.
  • Distributor ID: Ubuntu
  • Description: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
  • Release: 24.04
  • Codename: noble

The error I'm encountering is:

Check if you are using third party repositories. If so disable them, since they are a common source of problems. Furthermore run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f Transaction failed: The package system is broken The following packages have unmet dependencies:

libjpeg-dev: Depends: libjpeg62-turbo-dev (>= 1:2.0.6-4) but it is not installed

When I installed a program under Wine (v9.0), it generated some .desktop files under ~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/LTspice. It shows up in the app launcher but does nothing when selected.

I have been changing it trying to get it work for the last hour with no success. Currently it looks like this.

[Desktop Entry]
Name=LTspice
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/me/.wine" /opt/wine-stable/bin/wine /home/me/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/me/AppData/Local/Programs/ADI/LTspice/LTspice.exe
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Path=/home/me/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/me/AppData/Local/Programs/ADI/LTspice/
Icon=B1B0_LTspice_1.0
StartupWMClass=ltspice.exe

Copy-pasting the Exec line into a terminal opens LTspice just fine. If I move this file to ~/.local/share/applications, gtk-launch LTspice successfully launches the program (because apparently gtk-launch has different search behavior from the app launcher). Still, opening it from the dock or from the app launcher results in a spinning cursor for a few seconds then nothing.

I have made sure the .desktop file is executable and right clicked and selected "Allow Launching" in Nautilus.

Of course, there are no error messages and I can't get a terminal to stay open to actually tell me what is going wrong.

I have also just made a few other .desktop files with no issue for a few other programs (non-wine though).
