Hi,
I just installed a small SSD into my very old Toshiba notebook.
I then did a fresh install of current openSUSE Tumbleweed KDE 64Bit.
Everything is good but LibreOffice apps refuse to run?
When I run LibreOffice Writer from menu, it shows splash screen then crashes?
When run in KDE terminal I get below error:
jlp@new-host-4:~> libreoffice --writer %U
No protocol specified
Bus error (core dumped)
jlp@new-host-4:~>
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Jesse
Hi,
Other LibreOffice apps run ok, including Calc & Impress.
Just have crash with Writer?
Hope someone knows how to fix this…
Jesse
Hi,
I also tried to disable Java runtime environment, but still crashes?
(Start->Office->LibreOffice / Tools->Options->Advanced)
Any ideas about this?
Jesse
What if you start it with
lowriter
?
Hi,
jlp@new-host-4:~> lowriter
No protocol specified
/usr/bin/lowriter: line 2: 4071 Bus error (core dumped) /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice --writer "$@"
jlp@new-host-4:~>
I don’t think it’s a hardware issue, everything else besides LibreOffice Writer works 100%…
Jesse
Any extra repos involved apart from Packman?
Hi,
Tried “Safe Mode” in LibreOffice:
libreoffice --safe-mode
I did “Reset to factory settings”(both options).
Still have the crashing on Writer…
Jesse
It’s a clean and fresh install with ISO downloaded on March 7th, 2020.
Nothing was changed…
Jesse
Hi
Sure the %U is not deprecated? Instead of %U add the document path/name does that work? If I try %U I get a popup saying %U doesn’t exist and a graceful exit when hitting ok…
I opened the Start menu configuration and copied the full command(including %U) to open LibreOffice Writer…
Jesse
Hi
Then I would suggest dropping the %U (AFAIK relates to opening a filename), as in a right-click open with, if you look at the desktop file (cat /usr/share/applications/writer.desktop) , to open/create a new document there is no %U…
Suggest you drop it… or pop a filename in there instead.
Same error as before…
Did you update your system as well today with zypper dup?
cat /etc/os-release | grep VERSION_ID
VERSION_ID="20200306"
jlp@new-host-4:~> cat /etc/os-release | grep VERSION_ID
VERSION_ID="20200306"
jlp@new-host-4:~>
Hi
If you create a test user and login, does the issue duplicate (don’t use the %U)?
Hi,
Created a new user and logged into new user desktop.
Tried to run LibreOffice Writer but same issue(crash)
Jesse
Hi
Sounds like a bug report maybe needed… Maybe something now optimized that your system doesn’t support (since it’s an older machine)?
Hi,
It’s an 8+ year old Toshiba Satellite notebook:
Jesse
Hi,
I think it’s working now…
(1) I updated the BIOS from 1.70 to 2.20.
(had to install Win 10 temporarily to flash BIOS)
(2) I then did a fresh reinstall of openSUSE Tumbleweed KDE 64Bit.
Thanks!
