Ahh, so sorry, my problem reporting skills are suboptimal at the moment
it seems.

The crash of libreoffice happens immediately, I don't get up any
interface. This is why I ran strace and pasted it in pastebin so someone
who knows how to read strace could perhaps find out what the problem is.

Cheers, Oli

I run sid, and had pretty consistent crashing after an "aptitude
full-upgrade" a month or so back.Typically I'd leave a doc open while I
went and did something else for a while, and then come back to find that LO
was no longer open. I looked into it a bit, but not a lot, figuring, "Meh,
I run sid; expect brokenness."

Then after a week or two, another full-upgrade seems to have solved the
problem.

Sorry I don't have better info to help, but maybe there's a clue here that
means something to someone.

Well, dpkg -s libreoffice gives me "Version: 1:6.1.5-3+deb10u5", so that
is > 5.3 and soffice --safe-mode crashes on me so I can't disable HA from
there.

I'm uncertain what version you're using in Buster (packages.debian.org
is not responding from here), but another stab in the darkness would be
to turn off opengl, which can be done in versions >= 5.3

 soffice --safe-mode 
 Select "Configure" -> "Disable Hardware
 Acceleration (OpenGL, OpenCL)"

or in versions 5.2 and older by editing the 'registrymodifications.xcu'
file found in your user profile folder and setting the 'UseOpenGL' and
'ForceOpenGL' entries to false.

Even easier is to, from the command line, start 'soffice --safe-mode'

You might try moving your old config out of the way as a stab
in the dark to see if that might improve things.

 mv ~/.config/libreoffice{,.old}

The same as if I run localc, it crashes. See the pastebin link I gave in
the first post for the results.

What, if anything do you get if you try it from a terminal? Run
"soffice".

libreoffice crash

2020-02-08 Thread Ólafur Jens Sigurðsson
Hi, I upgraded my system to Buster finally but after that then
LibreOffice crashes on me. I have tried to uninstall it and reinstall,
no luck there. I tried as a different user, same crash there.

I am out of ideas. I have pasted an strace -f of opening localc from the
command line https://pastebin.com/Ev55tVUH

Any ideas on what could be the problem here?

TIA, Oli
