Good morning all!

I am looking for some guidance/advice/help.  My wife created a libreoffice =
document and when she went back to open it it opened but with a dialog box =
offering "force quit" or "wait".  Waiting just hung.  Force quit dropped ba=
ck to the desktop.

In an effort to fix this problem, I did a quick internet search and tried t=
he following:

killall soffice.bin

nothing happened... next

rm -rf~/.config/libreoffice

The second command I ran twice as I left a space in front of the .config =20

I next opened libreoffice which took its time.  It opened but showed no fil=
es available to open.

I restarted and it welcomed me to ubuntu like a new install. Now appears th=
ere are no files on the disk.

As you might imagine, this constitutes a catastrophic fail on my part.  Any=
 thoughts, advice, or assistance would be much appreciated.

Thanks.  Mike=
