A few thoughts come to mind, one you could have a corrupt install of LO or something important to communicate with your drive, another you have a misconfigured connection on your pc, or for some strange reason you are missing a package. I would try a quick and dirty check in Synaptic (it may be called Package Manager) click on the status button. If you see a listing for broken packages open it and reinstall the packages. If you do not see a listing for broken packages we will need to dig further. I use a LO 3.3.2 on Pinguy/Ubuntu 11.04. -- Jay Lozier jsloz...@gmail.com -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
