Hi there,

i was running a system on a Medion Laptop with intel hardware and moved to a ryzen 7 system with radeon grafics.
Everthing works fine but libreoffice crashes on start without any information. It will recover the last document which was saved but there was no document, so it`s in a loop with recovering documents which not exits.
I`m running Arco Linux with Plasma and copied the config from the old Laptop, first idea was to clear the config, doesn`t work, changing to LibreOffice fresh won`t work too.
Tried a clean install, LibreOffice crashes at start. There is no information for sent to report the crash.
Need more information about the system, please tell me. It`s the newest Version of Acro Linux L, running all Updates, standard kernel.

Any known issues with Ryzen Systems on LibreOffice?

regards
Frank

No issues have been reported about libreoffice yet.

Here is the support url for libreoffice.

Maybe others have reported a simular problem.

https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/community-support/

What does not work ( or does not work anymore) you try to fix for 30 minutes or more. Without an immediate solution you switch to something that does work.

I am quite happy with Wps-office.

Regarding the updating and packages we use.

95% is just Arch.

Here is a playlist about updating

Libreoffice-fresh is installed and working.
7.8.1-1 is its version

fresh install

no configs imported

test with writer, impress and draw

I must say that this version looks better.

I hope it has better compatibility with MS.

I know WPS but prefer Libre, but if there is no solution i would use WPS

Which version of LibreOffice are you using ?

Code: Select all

libreoffice --version
What are the file permissions on $HOME/.config/libreoffice ?
If you have copied over previous config using another user or even root that'll lead to problems launching LibreOffice.

To get more logging, enable the --backtrace option

Code: Select all

cd $HOME
libreoffice --backtrace
Enable debuginfod for this session? y
Then check either gdbtrace.log or journalctl -xe for for debug logging.
