LibreOffice 6.3.2.2 fails to run in Mageia7 with segfault

Postby leon244 » Sep 27th, '19, 02:46

I just upgraded to Magiea7.1. libreoffice 6.2.3 from the Mageia repos works. but I downloaded the rpm for 6.3.2.2 and installed it, but it fails with no error message.

dmesg shows:
Code: Select all
508.700492] soffice.bin[23861]: segfault at 1110 ip 0000000000001110 sp 00007ffe24215808 error 14 in soffice.bin[400000+1000]
[  508.700500] Code: Bad RIP value.
[  592.562306] soffice.bin[27795]: segfault at 1110 ip 0000000000001110 sp 00007ffe41870a28 error 14 in soffice.bin[400000+1000]


Appears to be creating segfault. It did not do this when I ran it under Mageia 6.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome. the 6.2.3 version from the repository site works
thank you

Well, for that you would have to ask upstream, e.g. at https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/questions/
But if the version from our repos is working, why install an only slightly "newer" one ?

Good question. I had been doing it when I had been using M6 and I kept doing it out of habit. I did not expect it to not work.
I did go to LO and there was a problem with the SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN setting to run LO 6.3.2.2. While I can run it now, as you point out it is not much different that what comes with M7.
Thanks for taking the time to respond
