Re: [libreoffice-users] libreoffice writer freezes in ubunt 12.04

I had not been able to install Ubuntu's "gnome-desktop" on my clean 
install of 12.04 or test of 13.04.  I keep getting errors about file not 
found that were needed for the install.

I use MATE since it is closest to GNOME 2.x that was installed with 
Ubuntu 10.04LTS.  I do not like Unity or similar desktop environments.  
I have not been able to install Cinnamon desktop on any 12.04/13.05 test 
system though, but it is another desktop environment that is a good 
GNOME substitute, if you like what Ubuntu had before Unity came along.

I always use the LO web site version of LO and not any PPA or Ubuntu 
repository version of LO.  I believe that the repository for 12.04LTS is 
still using version 3.5.x or 3.6.x.  I prefer to go to download the 
latest version of LO and not wait for the repository to get it, which 
does not happen anyways now.
