Yes. Exactly. You make a good point. :-)arjaybe wrote: Fri Sep 20, 2024 1:06 pm Cross your fingers and hope for the best. You might be okay. Not really fair to expect the devs to fix problems in your now non-standard version, though.-)
probably OK, but if sometime in the future you get an update holding back packages, you'll probably need something out of backports again.noesnada wrote: Fri Sep 20, 2024 12:50 pm I just booted up the laptop to test if it had the same problem, and it did. I fixed it very easily as this forum gave me the fix, so no problem there. Now libreoffice on the laptop also uses the dolphin picker.
But after that I decided to put the backports version of libreoffice onto the laptop also. Just so it matched my desktop machine I suppose.
So I searched libreoffice in the backports tab of the mx package installer. I started going down the list ticking all libreoffice entries, but then I saw the "upgrade all upgradable" button, so clicked it thinking it was just going to update the libreoffice entries my search was showing.
So the upgrade went ahead and I watched the output in the window as it happened, and realised it was doing much more than just libreoffice. I think I've just upgraded everything on my system that could be upgraded to backports to the backports versions.
That's fine with me. I like fresher software, but will the system be ok? I don't really have any experience with backports, so realise this is probably a very daft question, but if I'm going to cause myself problems I'd rather resolve it now.
There was a reason to have an entry within MXPI->populare apps->Office-> Libreoffce (backports).noesnada wrote: Fri Sep 20, 2024 12:50 pm But after that I decided to put the backports version of libreoffice onto the laptop also. Just so it matched my desktop machine I suppose.
I just timeshifted it anyway. Just in case.
