LibreOffice, as installed from the distro seems to have a serious startup problem with AppArmor, maybe others, I cannot open any document.
SO, I went to Apache & SourceForge and picked up A.O.O 4.1; moved the 'soffice' symlink out of the way and installed it. At first, it opened and edited the file I needed most. Then I noticed the complaint about "Can't find Java Runtime Environment." I looked around and found the OpenJdk-11 JRE right where I expected it. So I Googled around and found a Q&A blog-post saying OO required a i386 version of the JRE whereas I have a x86_64 version to match my machine. I can find an 'i386' version, but I cannot practically satisfy its dependencies. FIRST dumb question: is the limitation correct that OO cannot use a 64bit JRE? SECOND dumb question: is there another way to solve this hangup. P.S. I did try to install the 32-bit JRE and probably screwed the pooch -- today I cannot launch OO at all "application cannot be started.
