[libreoffice-users] Flatpak Libreoffice - opens with "(as superuser)" in title bar
I'm using Linux Mint 19 (Mate 64 bit) Using software manager, I removed Libreoffice and then installed the Flatpak version of it. It now opens opens with "(as superuser)" in title bar. I have repeated the install after running: sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice sudo apt autoremove sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get autoremove - but the result is the same. I'd be grateful if anyone can tell me how to resolve this. -- Sent from: http://document-foundation-mail-archive.969070.n3.nabble.com/Users-f1639498.html -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
Re: [libreoffice-users] Flatpak Libreoffice - opens with "(as superuser)" in title bar
Hi Atlan: GNU / Linux Mint is a branch of Ubuntu. Ubuntu has a similar system of install option known as Snap. You can find in the web as Snap Repositories and then search LibreOffice. There you can install coping the command into the terminal. To remove : sudo snap remove libreoffice. I guess that Flatpak use similar command and it is different to usuall .deb options. When we install a .deb file we can use the command apt-get or apt (only), but Flatpak and Snap use different commands because use different program to manage the installations. If you goggleing as : How to uninstall a Flatpak file, you could find the answer. It would use a command like this: sudo flatpak remove "package file name" I hope this help, Jorge El vie, 27-07-2018 a las 07:17 -0700, atlan escribió: > I'm using Linux Mint 19 (Mate 64 bit) > > Using software manager, I removed Libreoffice and then installed the > Flatpak > version of it. > > It now opens opens with "(as superuser)" in title bar. > > I have repeated the install after running: > sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice > sudo apt autoremove > sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get autoremove > - but the result is the same. > > I'd be grateful if anyone can tell me how to resolve this. > > > > -- > Sent from: http://document-foundation-mail-archive.969070.n3.nabble.c > om/Users-f1639498.html > -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

Thanks for your reply, I was not looking at uninstalling LibreOffice - just want to get the Flatpak version working without being in superuser mode. The reason I used the three commands - (sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice sudo apt autoremove sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get autoremove) - was to attempt to remove the previous repository/non-flatpak version fully. I did not do that before the first install of the flatpak version and subsequently wondered if that omission might have been responsible for the superuser message - but apparently not. I have also tried removing the Flatpak version using flatpak uninstall org.libreoffice.LibreOffice/x86_64/stable as well as with the Software Centre, then rebooting and reinstalling, but am still getting the superuser notification in the title bar. -- Sent from: http://document-foundation-mail-archive.969070.n3.nabble.com/Users-f1639498.html -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Flatpak Libreoffice - opens with "(as superuser)" in title bar
I understand now your problem...but what is the difference between LibreOffice version of Flatpak and Snap version ? Why you prefere Flatpak version ? I've installed before in other computer the Snap version and all were well, include I could keep the version .deb that Ubuntu install by default and the more update version by Snap version, and both run without problems.

I've never heard of snap and am looking for a solution not a workaround. I'm using Flatpak because it is installed by default in Mint 19 and there is loads of Flatpak software in the Mint Software Centre to install with a single click, which seems a great step forwards to me. -- Sent from: http://document-foundation-mail-archive.969070.n3.nabble.com/Users-f1639498.html -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

Hi: Snap system is a Sandbox way to install now programs in many GNU / Linux distributions. It was develop by Canonical (Ubuntu) and put able for all the distributios want to use. It try to solve the problems of securities because as I understand the software installed by this way can't access nothing than the place where it is installed. Another benefits, it is easier to the own or develops of the programs to prepare software to offer updates to the users (less complicated). It benefits both sides. In this links you can find the repositorie of software prepare with Snap: https://snapcraft.io/store and here: https://snapcraft.io/libreoffice you can find LibreOffice as snap installation. Flatpak is other way that born, as I know, as the same time of Snap and has similar features, but to know what are all the difference between them, is necessary to googleing because I don't know all of them although I red a year ago, more less, an articule in the web about this topic. If you have problems with the Flatpak installation in GNU / Linux Mint, why not probe with the Snap option ?

[libreoffice-users] Re: Flatpak Libreoffice - opens with "(as superuser)" in title bar
Why not snap you ask - I can understand you favouring that solution when you are familiar with Snap, however I am not. I only discovered the Flatpak concept a week ago when I stumbled across the Flatpak category in the Software Manager of a new installation of Mint 19. It took a while to understand and appreciate what it is and I don't want to give up on it so quickly. (It did not take me long to appreciate when I found that with a single click it could install a later version of Handbrake than in the normal repository, and that could transcode PCM audio which the earlier version of Handbrake was not detecting) Additionally, the end product is for someone else who would like to have the latest versions of software - particularly Writer, but needs the system and updates to be as simple as possible and so I'd like to avoid using any extra software sources. If Snap was the only solution and Flatpak rubbish then I'd jump at it for my own use but I've used Mint ever since Ubuntu brought out their abominable Unity desktop and Mint has been fantastically easy and reliable and I expect there will be a simple solution without abandoning Flatpak. -- Sent from: http://document-foundation-mail-archive.969070.n3.nabble.com/Users-f1639498.html -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
