Recently installed following the instructions from the DEB packages , as I always do... however I can launch LibreOffice 6.2 , I can only see the splash screen and nothing else. I removed it from synaptics and tried again with sudo dpkg -i *.deb (opening DEBS folder in terminal as it is explained in the instructions) , same result it get installed but won't execute.
I had previously removed the 5.1 version that comes with Zorin.
UPDATE: trying to instal libreoffice 6.2 from deb packages brings a lot of problems among them if something got missing in the way such as libobasis6.2-core:i386 (which is a libreoffice package) you won't be able to run Synaptics... such is the mess that I wasn't able to run a simple instalation command from console until I installed this package again from libreofice6.2 extrated tarball.
It cought my attentions than sometime ago , I was able to upgrade libreoffice 5.1 from "software channel"... I have been googling and many people says that uninstalling libreoffice ( regarding the one that comes with the system) may bring problems... that never happened to me until now.
