Sounds like you missed doing the sudo apt-get update before the install so although the PPA was in the sources list, the local listing of what what is in the repositories had not been updatedOn Sat, Sep 28, 2013 at 10:34 AM, Michael Havens <bmike1@gmail.com> wrote:I just added the repository (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-4-1) (4.1.1 is the most current ppa) and tried to install it (sudo apt-get install libreoffice) and the response is that libreoffice is already the newest version. (libreoffice 3.6.2.2)

LibreOffice is no different. One can download it directly from the LibreOffice site or you can add a PPA to your software sources. There are a few low risk drawbacks to doing so but they are minimal for a major piece of software. Just look at the LibreOffice.org site to see what the latest version is or Google the question.But you could first check what the Software center is offering because you 3.6? version is definitely old.

If I remember correctly it happens sporadically.

What version are you using, because I definitely can't reproduce
that. If I delete any of the cells, the answer is correct.

performed on (cell1+cell2=cell3) the total isn't recalculated (cell3

I'm not really much of an office suite user, but my
experience and
the feedback I've heard has always been yes it is bad
compared to MS
Office. I think Libre/Open office covers 90% of use cases
and is
more than capable of handling what most users need, however
it's
interface isn't nearly as good, it lacks the vbscript
macros the
rest of the world uses, it's charting/graphs don't look as
nice and
formatting comes out mangled when excel users open it (or
when you
open an xlsx). Microsoft has invested a lot of time, money and
energy into getting Excel just right and it really is a
great (if
not their best) product. The heavy excel users I know that
don't
run Windows keep a Win7 VM around for Office/Excel use.
As a side note I think one thing that the Linux/FLOSS
community is
very bad at is learning from what others get right. You
might not
like Microsoft but to claim their popularity was in no way
due to
making some good products is disingenuous at best. If people
genuinely care about increasing Linux desktop usage (which
is not of
any particular interest to me personally) the right
questions to ask
are about what MS and Apple get right rather than what they
get wrong.

Baaaad idea...
The man uses Excel *HEAVILY*, and LibreOffice just
could not
keep up.
But it was not lack of features or limitations, it was
*STUPID*
(but dangerous) things like cells not showing the real
value
and/or recalculating wrong.
I didn't take his word for it, he showed me the
(unbelievable)
problems (I could not believe what I was seeing).
The guy is back to Excel...
What am I missing?
