That's very likely a duplicate of bug #1699772. To confirm this, can you run the following command in a terminal:
sed -i '/enabled/c\<enabled xsi:nil="false">false<\/enabled>' ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/config/javasettings_Linux_*.xml Then execute libreoffice writer and let me know if the crash is still happening? Thanks! [For the record, that command disables the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) in libreoffice, which is known to cause crashes on 32bits processors. Some functions of libreoffice won't work without Java (the most visible probably being libreoffice base), but most of the office suite should work just fine.] ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1804134 Title: LibreOffice Writer Won't Run on Pentium-4 32-bit Computer Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: On a Dell GX-270 (Intel 32-bit) computer running Lubuntu 18.04, I can run LibreOffice, but when I select LibreOffice Writer the LibreOffice window disappears, and nothing happens, as if the application just terminated normally, without doing anything. An AppPort window reporting an error appeared, but when I clicked its "Send" button, the window disappeared without doing anything. If I run LibreOffice Writer directly from the menu, I get a frame of its window (with nothing filled-in inside), which persists for awhile, and then disappears. In either case, no error message appears, and nothing further happens. LibreOffice Calc, on the other hand, appears to run, though I haven't tried any spreadsheet using it. I expected LibreOffice Writer to initialize, and then use it for editing documents (as it did on Lubuntu 16.04), but the LibreOffice Writer window disappeared. The same problem occurred on a Dell GX-260 computer.
