LibreOffice 7.1.0.3 crashes on MacOS Big Sur 11.2.2
I have recently changed from OpenOffice to LibreOffice, but the transition is not going smoothly. I have reinstalled LibreOffice 3x by now.
Right now I cannot open a new writer document. Every time I try, I receice an error message "LibreOffice 7.1 Document recovery" - 'Due to an error, LibreOffice crashed. All your files you were working on will now be saved. The next time LibreOffice is launched, your files will be recovered automatically' - 'The following files will be recovered:' - but the list is blank.
The funny thing is that calc spreadsheet and impress presentation do open well and I can save them.
This just concerns writer documents
Please note If a problem is caused by a corrupt user profile, reinstalling LibreOffice won't help at all, since this won't touch the user profile. Therefore: Before reinstalling check whether the user profile might be the cause of a problem.
To test whether LibreOffice user profile is causing the issue:
Help → Restart in Safe Mode
and confirm the restart using button:Restart
Continue in Safe Mode
File → Open
- do not use some other procedure)If that works, most likely you user profile is corrupt and you need to reset to factory settings (see also options when starting
Help → Restart in Safe Mode
).Ref.:LibreOffice User Profile
I have the same problem, my partners send me documents .docx, and is imposible to open it, I try with the safe mode and doest work. Any idea?
@Norelena
.docx
files (do you save 'em and useFile -> Open
via LibreOffice)?PS.:
You really have exactly the same error message as described in the question? Or does that mean: "I can't open
.docx
document sent to me"? Having the same symptom, does not necessarily mean, there is the same solution to your problem.Hi,
And yes, i have the same symptom... sorry my bad
Thanks Opaque, I followed your advice to start LibreOffice in safe mode and ,lo and behold, it worked. The only issue is, I have a brand new computer MacBook Pro MacBookPro 17,1; Apple M1; running on macOS Big Sur. I shall try to reset it and see what happens. hskoppek
