Matt was right - I had manually deleted libreoffice stuff - but only after I had purged each package using apt. The Nautilus package had at that time lost its ability to show hidden files - part of known bug, so I had missed ~/.libreoffice I will be more careful next time. But there were other good reasons to re-install the OS and it is not especially time consuming.

To me it sounds more like Barry has manually removed files belonging to packages that didn't get uninstalled (not just files inside his home), so dpkg/apt doesn't know it needs to re-install them, and now libreoffice can't find them. Manually removing stuff that dpkg thinks is there can be expected to cause problems. Reinstalling every libreoffice related package should fix the issue. /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/oosplash is provided by the package libreoffice-core, for example. btw, just removing ~/.libreoffice (or even just the plugins directory) should have been enough to resolve the original issue. It's almost never necessary to re-install packages to reset their configuration if they are packages run by a normal user (and reinstalling the package just doesn't work in all* places). *I think -- Matt Wheeler m...@funkyhat.org -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] Libreoffice pdf import extension .....
Hi there . I downloaded and ran a pdf import extension called oracle-pdfimport. It has completely clobbered all of Libreoffice running under Quantal. I guess it was intended for OpenOffice. I've tried completely removing all of Libreoffice and re-installing, but get no success. If I run from the commandline, I get this: barry@quantal:~$ libreoffice --writer %U UNO Exception: InvalidRegistryException: file:///usr/lib/libreoffice/program/../share/extensions/pdfimport/components.rdb: duplicate implementation name=com.sun.star.comp.documents.HybridPDFImport terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno::DeploymentException' This is strange as there is no longer a /usr/lib/libreoffice/ directory. Any thoughts? Or should I cut my losses and re-install Quantal? Kind regards,Barry. -- Barry Drake is a member of the the Ubuntu Advertising team. http://ubuntuadverts.org/ -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
