How to launch LibreOffice?

[mango]

Anyone knows how to set the variables PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH to successfully launch libreoffice (or soffice) from the command line in terminal? libertine-launch libreoffice creates some issues.

Seems that the packages libreoffice-java-common default-jre are required, but not installed by the meta packae libreoffice which seems to install libreoffice-core. The issue is that soffice and javaldx does not seem to find all libraries needed, including the java installation default-jre. Cannot open uno.ini file.

Does one have to create any directories and files?

It is assumed that whenever a desktop app is installed in libertine container noble that it can find all its dependencies and is able to work as expected. LibreOffice is probably the number one desktop application one would think about using with libertine.

If anyone has a clue about a libreoffice-launcher that opens libreoffice it would be great to share it.

gimp and inkscape both launch in libertine using the desktop mode. For reference, the software channel used is 24.04/daily (noble) on a Fairphone 4.

Since you're on Noble, you can use snap to install these apps. They work well(-ish) and runs on wayland. They won't have the onscreen keyboard though which libertine might have.
