Code:

15step :: ~ 1 » libreoffice --version

LibreOffice 7.1.3.2 10(Build:2)

Yes, mine is the same version.
Can only run as a root. :confused: And no useful error/warning when not root.

Some bad installation or compilation/installation as root which were doing some bad permissions on the libreoffice installation or dependencies ?

Or a corrupt libreoffice profile in the user home when you are not root ?

Sometimes it comes from a corrupted configuration
You can try this:

Code:

mv .config/libreoffice .config/libreoffice_bak

And you restart it

Thanks for the advice, but didn't help. Creates new libreoffice folder and quit.

Libreoffice runs fine when logged as root.
When I log in as other user with admin rights, "application error" is generated (run from terminal) and initial startup window vanish. No error/warninig is logged in any file in /var/log.

I had this but can't remember the fix....

Installing Alien Bob 's compat packages, change the libreoffice.sh script option or revert an alias hack in my .bashrc...

I also thought, to check user’s $PATH

anyway, to avoid any custom settings :
mv ~/.bashrc ~/.bashrc_bak
and
logout/login

Today I updated slackware64-current.

So I decided to

Code:

slackpkg remove libreoffice

and also manually removed all traces of Libreoffice:
Removed all files found by:

Code:

find / -name "libreoffice*"

except files in folders:
/etc/profile.d
/var/lib/pkgtools

reboot

After that I issue:

Code:

slackpkg reinstall multilib

slackpkg install libreoffice

reboot

Now even as root libreoffice do not want to run. After splash screen I get "Application error" message.:( :confused:

There are no signs of any error regarding starting libreoffice in /var/log
Is there any option to start the program in debug mode or more verbose startup?

According to : libreoffice --help

You can try : libreoffice --safe-mode

That might be the culprit.

You think about that ?

Code:

$ cat /etc/profile.d/libreoffice.sh 

#!/bin/sh

Disable hardware acceleration solve the issue.

Looks like mesa-21.0.3 messed up! (Ups I did it again). :mad:
