Installing debian with the "Debian Desktop" task works fine. However, you can reproduce this with the following steps (which is how I tend to work) 1. Install just the base system 2. apt-get install lxde (this doesn't depend on libreoffice) 3. Log in to lxde as a regular user 4. Menu > Accessories > Root Terminal (uses gksu) 5. As root, apt-get install libreoffice
This creates the directory .config/libreoffice under the *user's* home directory, owned by *root*. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
