Hi Bill, To save yourself some time, try the OS/OO combinations in a VM.

LO should run perfectly fine on any recent Debian based derivative. So, that's a bit worrying and implies that you've broken your current install. Maybe first try loading what you want [Devuan Chimaera 64-bit?] into a VM (to get a perfectly clean copy), make a VM backup*, and then re-try installing OO, LO, etc. Best, Michael * Yeah, I don’t know how either :( “Google it with Bing” as it’s now said... ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
