I'm having some issues with LibreOffice (Build ID: 1:6.1.5-3+deb10u3)
on Debian Buster.
Code: Select all
$ uname -a
Linux euler 4.19.0-5-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.37-5+deb10u2 (2019-08-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux
- Writer, Impress, Draw crash immediately on opening and I get the
"Document recovery dialog."
- Calc opens but crashes the moment I try to insert text.
Some meta-info:
- I upgraded to Debian Buster when it came out. Previously I was on
stretch (stable with backported kernel) and these issues were not
present.
- I have currently resolved to using the AppImage from the LibreOffice
website. The issues are not present there.
Debugging I have done so far:
- Created a new user test account to debug, the issue is not present
in the new account.
- Reset my LibreOffice profile (from my own account).
- Tried disabling hardware acceleration.
- Tried disabling Java (as recommended here:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question ... r-crashes/
and here:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/927859/ ... s-on-start).
This did not solve the issue.
- libreoffice-gtk2 isn't installed on my system so the solution
described here:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question ... 90-solved/
doesn't apply.
- running libreoffice in safemode and resetting the profile doesn't
help. Here's the output I see on the terminal:
Code: Select all
$ libreoffice --safe-mode
Warning: failed to read path from javaldx
xkbcommon: ERROR: Key "<LFSH>" added to modifier map for multiple modifiers; Using Lock, ignoring Shift
Application Error
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question ... -on-linux/
however, no solution is provided on that thread.
As a workaround, I am currently using the AppImage version from the
LibreOffice website which doesn't have any of the aforementioned
issues.
How do I further debug this issue? If it's being caused only on my
user account how do I isolate the source of the error? If requested, I
can post more debugging info.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks for taking the time to help
