Unfortunately I'm still not out of the woods. The TDF version of LibreOffice isn't detected by bibus. Which means no bibliography, which is pretty much a deal-breaker. So I played with the debian/testing version again, and managed to get it to not crash with my file by deleting my user profil

I run 3.4.6 on 64-bit Ubuntu. In the first version of LO, I had to install en-GB language packs and help packs to get en-US help packs to install without errors. It has been since 3.4.1 that I have not installed en-GB along with en-US every time I updated LO. I just got into a habit in doin

You might have already tried this but it looks like you didn't mention it. Can you download the TDF's official version instead of using one from the repos? http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=deb-x86&lang=en-GB I have tried it now, and it works! Thank you very much. It messed with my desk
