[SOLVED] LibreOffice will not start and freezes KDE5 on slackware64-current

Hello, i have been using slackware 14.2 for couple of years now, never had any problems (that i didn't cause) but recently got a new laptop (AMD Ryzen 5 3500u) and decided to try slackware64-current. I did clean install today and installed kde5 as well. As it is required, i installed openjdk too (got it from here https://slackware.nl/people/alien/sl...pkg64/current/) using upgradepkg and i did the same with libreoffice (http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slac.../pkg64/current). However upon running libreoffice command in terminal (as user) my KDE froze and terminal for short period of time displayed these two lines:

Code:

bash-5.0$ libreoffice
mesa: for the --simplifycfg-sink-common option: may only occur zero or one times!
mesa: for the --global-isel-abort option: may only occur zero or one times!

That's it after this i have to force shut down my pc. Also i tried libreoffice5.4 (https://slackware.pkgs.org/current/s...lonly.txz.html) but the result was the same, only lines it displayed upon running are:

Code:

bash-5.0$ libreoffice5.4
javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Enviroment!
Warning: failed to read path from javaldx

Does anyone know what the problem is? LibreOffice and openjdk installation went without issues. I googled a lot and couldn't find solution.

Also, you might consider asking a moderator to move this thread to the Slackware forum.

Thank you for your reply and i shall do both. I have a (silly) question about moving thread. How do i do that? I read that i have to report it but i can't find report button. Only got Edit, Quote and Multi-quote.

I found solution to this problem.
Just disable openCL using libreoffice safe mode.

And this was not KDE issue, it didn't work for any DE, so i think this could be amd gpu related issue atm.
