So Chris, I did as you said, had to re-install the computer for Windows and go back to Linux (safest way) went through the trouble of almost breaking my computer due to what seemed as a broken update for my BIOS, but luckily was only a config reload failure, which I managed to restore.
The output of the command suggested is: A2CN36WW(V2.04) 04/30/2015 That's my current (latest) BIOS version, no additional ones provided. I again attempted to launch any part of Libreoffice, but the same happens, i.e. I launch Libreoffice > dark screen > system crash > I am greeted with the login screen again. I get no text on the blank screen. System fully upgraded, latest kernel, updates, everything. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1468664 Title: Libreoffice crashing the whole session in 15.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1468664/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
