lubot[telegram] <Halis> Could be a permission issue. Maybe someone knows16:57
Mekaneck@Halis they're long gone16:58

lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> My LibreOffice has some minor problems with  slide list window (undocked, refused to dock)19:22
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> So I had bright idea to delete /home/mateusz/.config/libreoffice/4/user/19:23
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> I deleted it with sudo (warning that I ignored, I should stop and think at this point)19:23
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Now LibreOffice fails to boot19:23
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/10c6aa06/file_3429.jpg19:23
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> I did sudo apt-get remove libreoffice + sudo apt-get install libreoffice19:24
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> I did sudo apt-get purge libreoffice  + sudo apt-get install libreoffice19:24
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> I applied https://askubuntu.com/questions/1347111/how-can-i-recreate-default-etc-cron-d-files to this folder19:24
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> How can I get working LibreOffice back? Without OS reinstall?19:25
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> "The application cannot be started. User installation could not be completed." with window title "LibreOffice 6.4 - Fatal Error" is not too useful;19:27
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> Any reason not to use the current version? (I think it's 7.2)19:29
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> That is what I got from package manager, I will run update (re @Rodrigo: Any reason not to use the current version? (I think it's 7.2))19:29
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> Yep19:30
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> after update:19:30
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> sudo apt-get install libreoffice19:30
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Reading package lists... Done19:30
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Building dependency tree       19:30
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Reading state information... Done19:30
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> libreoffice is already the newest version (1:6.4.7-0ubuntu0.20.04.1).19:30
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2021/08/install-libreoffice-7-2-ubuntu-20-04-21-10/amp/19:32
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> Method 319:32
tomreynthat's not going to be needed to solve this problem, though19:33
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> heh, I just did it (re @Rodrigo: https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2021/08/install-libreoffice-7-2-ubuntu-20-04-21-10/amp/)19:34
tomreynbetter try sudo   sudo apt purge libreoffice*    (don't miss the "*" character!) and then   sudo apt install --reinstall libreoffice19:35
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> And? (re @matkoniecz: heh, I just did it)19:35
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> fail (re @Rodrigo: And?)19:35
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/10c6aa06/file_3429.jpg19:35
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/f3746046/file_3430.jpg19:36
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> Same error?19:36
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Yep19:36
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Just different title - version string changed19:36
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> 😕19:36
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Doing sudo apt purge libreoffice*19:37
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> This one actually seems to be doing reinstall19:37
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Though error remained19:38
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> WTF was in /home/mateusz/.config/libreoffice/4/user/19:38
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> Can't you restore it from trash using file manager? (re @matkoniecz: WTF was in /home/mateusz/.config/libreoffice/4/user/)19:39
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> no, I did it from command line with sudo (because it refused to be deleted, that was dumb) (re @Rodrigo: Can't you restore it from trash using file manager?)19:40
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Solved!19:40
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> /home/mateusz/.config/libreoffice/ somehow become root-owned19:40
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Deleting it allowed libreoffice to boot19:40
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> And thanks to that, somehow I was stuck on old version! (re @Rodrigo: https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2021/08/install-libreoffice-7-2-ubuntu-20-04-21-10/amp/)19:40
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> So there is some benefit19:40
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> 👍🏽👍🏽19:40
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> tomreyn: thanks for an actual reinstall, I failed to find it19:41
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> I'm glad you solved it 🙂19:41
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> That is because you used sudo aka root. (re @matkoniecz: /home/mateusz/.config/libreoffice/ somehow become root-owned)19:42
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Yes, but I used it to remove folder inside this folder. Is it changing owner of folder where such command was run? (re @kc2bez: That is because you used sudo aka root.)19:43
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Also, I put ~/.config/libreoffice into git repo so I can roll back changes in a future19:44
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> Probably got changed somewhere along the way. sudo should never be needed for anything in your own home folder unless the permissions get changed somehow.19:44
tomreynmatkoniecz: list files or directories not owned by your user / your primary user group: find $HOME \( \! -uid $(id -u) \) -o \( \! -gid $(id -g) \)19:56
tomreyn(within your home directory)19:56
tomreynif you have a root owned file ".rnd" there, that's fine19:57
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> tomreyn: hm, it finds files which I own20:00
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> though something funky is with primary user group20:01
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> well, I will be reinstalling soon anyway20:01
lubot[telegram] <tbs61> Hello, sometimes internet stops. i use wifi connection. i make it disconnect and when i re connect wifi it just doesnt. idk why but it doesnt connect again. the solution is restarting  computer or suspending and coming back. when i do that wifi can connect again. this happened severel times in 2 weeks...20:02
lubot[telegram] <tbs61> i know this may be ubuntu based problem, it s okay. i dont mind if i dont get any permenent solution here. just sharing so u know about this.20:03
tomreynmatkoniecz: if the user group differs it *can* still be fine.20:48
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Standard step: have you tried rebooting router? (re @tbs61: i know this may be ubuntu based problem, it s okay. i dont mind if i dont get any permenent solution here. just sharing so u know about this.)21:14
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Is it happenning when you connect via cable to router?21:15
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Is it happening only on specific wifi network or all of them?21:15
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Are you using EOL OS? Have you tried updating? (unlikely to help, but why not try)21:16
lubot[telegram] <tbs61> yes, many times (re @matkoniecz: Standard step: have you tried rebooting router?)21:19
lubot[telegram] <tbs61> i dont use cable so idk (re @matkoniecz: Is it happenning when you connect via cable to router?)21:19
lubot[telegram] <tbs61> i use one only, i didnt have smilar problem for a long time before (re @matkoniecz: Is it happening only on specific wifi network or all of them?)21:20
lubot[telegram] <tbs61> i use latest from lubuntu.me and apply all updates (re @matkoniecz: Are you using EOL OS? Have you tried updating? (unlikely to help, but why not try))21:20
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> the point is that sometimes internet is wonky, not wifi (usually wifi is failing point but at least once ISP was faulty and in some cases router was broken) (re @tbs61: i dont use cable so idk)22:08
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> And if you connect by cable and problem goes away then it confirms wifi issue22:09
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> (sorry that I cannot really help but I also run into "wifi fails for no clear reason" that I never really explained)22:09
lubot[telegram] <tbs61> it s okay really. thanks for giving ur time (re @matkoniecz: (sorry that I cannot really help but I also run into "wifi fails for no clear reason" that I never really explained))22:12
