I seem unable to open/run LibreOffice (in the latest version of Elementary). I installed it via the AppCenter. If I click on it from the Applications menu, the icon appears in the dock briefly, but no windows open. Right-clicking on the dock icon and selecting an option (e.g., "Writer") does nothing. Eventually, the icon disappears.
How can I run LibreOffice? It is critical that I be able to properly read and write Open Document Format, as well as Microsoft Office-type files.
Thank you!
I also had this problem installing LibreOffice from appcenter. Solved uninstalling it with appcenter and installing (also with appcenter) separatedly the Libreoffice applications (writer, spreadsheets...). This installs also LibreOfice environment.
Update: I understand that you want to install Libreoffice from app center that's why I gave you an "appcenter solution" that worked for me. Obviouly, you can always install Libreoffice using terminal issuing:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libreoffice
The same problem happened to me, the problem was that my computer didn't "know" that Libre Office was installed, so when I installed it from the terminal it worked again
I too had the same problem loading the entire Libre Office suite from the app center. After uninstalling the suite and reinstalling the components separately from the app center, I was able to get all of the components working properly. Thanks for the suggestion and I hope this helps.
