LibreOffice writer will not start. [closed]
Command libreoffice -writer results in
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/oosplash: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libuno_sal.so.3: invalid ELF header
Acquired behavior. Writer worked fine, then one day stopped working. Reinstall of LibreOffice didn't help.
Ubuntu MATE 18.04.3 LTS on AMD-64
Hello,
You have not stated what version of LO you are using. If using v6.3.x try:
where 6.3 is the version installed.
Please show us output from command:
file /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libuno_sal.so.3
: It should povide something like:Output is from an Ubuntu MATE 18.04 using Libreoffice 6.0.7 (no PPA used)
@Opaque,
Here is mine from Ubuntu MATE 18.04.3 using Libreoffice v6.3.2.2 (TDF):
@Ratslinger - thanks for the info.
@rjs485 - did you use PPA or TDF resources recently and now reverted to distribution version 6.0.7?(Asking since on my Ubuntu test system I do change very often and had a similar issue just some minutes ago)
Please check also https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/146116/undefined-symbol-_zn11languagetagc1erks_/ which points to reinstall of package
uno-libs3
may be required.Here is the output Opaque requested. I included ls to make sure the file was present. I never paid attention to what version of Libreoffice I was using, and now none of the Libreoffice programs start, so I don't know how to determine the version.
rjs@RSBK:~$ file /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libuno_sal.so.3 /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libuno_sal.so.3: data rjs@RSBK:~$ ls /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libuno_sal.so.3 /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libuno_sal.so.3 rjs@RSBK:~$
Looks like your installation is corrupt - a type of
data
is definitely incorrect for an shared object library. Please try to reinstalluno-libs3
using the following command:sudo apt install --reinstall uno-libs3
(If you never paid attentation to what's being installed you most probably have version 6.0.7, which is installed by Ubuntu 18.04).
