Public bug reported:
I've been using libreoffice off and on for a few years. When I tried to
use it today on my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS system, it wouldn't come up.
Clicking on the icons causes no action. Running "libreoffice" from the
command line silently hangs (nothing is printed, but the process doesn't
return). I can control-C it. I tried "apt-get remove libreaoffice"
followed by "apt-get install libreoffice" to no avail. I tried renaming
~/.config/libreoffice to ~/.config/libreoffice-hang, but also to no
avail.
I can run "libreoffice --version":
$ libreoffice --version
LibreOffice 5.1.6.2 10m0(Build:2)
And if I try to run it without an X11 display set, it gives an error:
$ libreoffice
/usr/bin/libreoffice: 56: cd: can't cd to
/afs/cs.uwm.edu/users/csfac/boyland/etc/dept/2018-05-25
No protocol specified
Failed to open display
No protocol specified
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin X11 error: Can't open display:
Set DISPLAY environment variable, use -display option
or check permissions of your X-Server
(See "man X" resp. "man xhost" for details)
But otherwise, I can't get any response: e.g.
$ libreoffice -V -V
