libreoffice 6.3 does not launch in Ubuntu 19.04
hello,
the spell check of writer stopped showing so I had the bad idea of removing libreoffice and install it anew. This problem came after upgrading from ubuntu 18 to 19.04. I used sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice* and then istalled from apt, or from the libreoffice website or the software manager. In all cases, LO is installed but it fails to be launched. I removed ~/.config/libreoffice as suggested bu tstill nothing.
I tried to launch form the terminal:
$ libreoffice --writer ~/Downloads/file.rtf
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so: undefined symbol: _ZN11LanguageTagD1Ev
What would be the problem and how to fix it?
thank you
Edit [Opaque] Changed title to show correct version the question is about.
Do you really mean LibreOffice 3.3 from 2011?
Does it start without any module and file option - just calling
libreofficeand please providewhich libreoffice. Installation directories differ pretty much for the various packages (LibreOffice from TDF installs to/opt, while LibreOffice from Ubuntu repositories install to/usr/lib/and you may have some mess up.See also: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/146116/undefined-symbol-_zn11languagetagc1erks_/
Sorry, I meant 6.3.
yepp ( @Mike Kaganski ), don't fully trust
sudo apt-get remove --purge libreofficeand remove anything beneath/usr/lib/libreoffie/afterwards. Then reinstall.Likely, there was version 19.10 already available, so I upgraded from 19.04 to 19.10 and it is working thus far. Hopefully, there will be another time because I am not going to uninstall it again. Thank you
