libreoffice 'Unexpected application error' on one user only
I have alienbob's Libreoffice package installed on Slackware 15 64 bit. On my user I can launch LO without problems.
On my wifes user when I launch LO, I get an "Unexpected application error". On the failing user I see the pop up indicating the application is starting, the progress bar goes half way, and the thing disappears. I have tried launching it from a terminal, that is when I see the "Unexpected application error" message show up. I have compared the groups for both users, and added some groups to the wifes user, and now they are the same. Here are the packages I have installed. Code:
ls -l /var/lib/pkgtools/packages | grep libreoffice Code:
groups This is on my laptop that we both use. On my desktop I have the same setup, and all is well. Is there any logging I can do to get more useful failure information? Your thoughts on what else I can check are appreciated. |
I have slackware64 15.0 up to date with alienBOBs libreoffice installed on both my desktop machine, and my laptop. Libreoffice runs fine on the desktop, but crashes on the laptop with the "Unspecified Application Error" error, as you describe.
This post here had a suggestion that fixed it: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ml#post6196826 On the laptop I edited /etc/profile.d/libreoffice.sh so that the environment variable is always set: Code:
cat /etc/profile.d/libreoffice.sh |
OXBF a huge THANK_YOU! That has fixed it.
I spent an afternoon trying to fix this thing, it made no sense. I had a look at this forum, but did not find the thread you have pointed out. I did have to boot the system after editing the libreoffice.sh file, and only then di it work. |
I put it in libreoffice wrapper script /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice. I didnt want it set system wide for just one program's fix.
