LibreOffice Fresh to LibreOffice Still - Ask Ubuntu


i'm using libreoffice fresh in ubuntu 16.10. there way switch libreoffice fresh libreoffice still? think it's more stable.

thank you!

you need remove "fresh" (and ppa used if used ppa) , install "stable" (or "still") version. if use normal installation methods.

"stable" has different version version used in ubuntu. use stable version released when ubuntu features got frozen; few days/weeks before final release.


if install both source can switch. easy setup:

  • put each of libreoffices own directory in /opt/ instance ...

    /opt/libreoffice-fresh/ /opt/libreoffice-stable/ 

    (add versionnumber directory if want more these 2)

  • create symlink executable

    /opt/libreoffice 

    and use start libreoffice (ie. add path or connect normal libreoffice executable.

  • switching between 2 simple pointing symlink other version.


as alternative: libreoffice comes in snap versions. way can install 1 using "snap" , other through normal channel.

running libreoffice version installed snap

after installing, version of libreoffice installed via snap can started command:

/snap/bin/libreoffice 

omitting full path starts version of libreoffice installed distribution instead, if there one.

renaming snap directory allow installing more 1.
