LibreOffice
Installing LibreOffice PPA
Reason for a PPA is that the LibreOffice, which is normally already installed or available in
a distribution, is not the latest release.
With the PPA you have always the latest one.
Spelling for Dutch Language
Install dutch spelling library.
Fix Open/Save Dialogs
When dialogs in LibreOffice are not as the standard for the desktop, an environment variable needs to be set.
This environment variable SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN can be set in the ~/.profile file.
In my case ~/bin/profile.sh
Possible variable values:
| Value | Package | OS |
|---|---|---|
| gen | generic X11 | All |
| kde4 | ? | ? |
| kde5 | libreoffice-kde5 | Kubuntu 22.04 |
| qt5 | libreoffice-qt5 | Kubuntu 22.04. 24.04 |
| qt6 | libreoffice-qt6 | KDE Neon 6 |
| kf5 | libreoffice-kf5 | |
| ?? | libreoffice-plasma | Kubuntu 24.04 |
For the latest KDE Plasma just install libreoffice-plasme and no need for a environment variable.
