Okay so here’s the deal… I use an older Intel Celeron PC running Fedora Linux (8GB of RAM, 500GB SATA SSD Main Drive, 256GB M.2 SSD back-up drive) . I’ve been using Libre Draw to create some illustrations for a personal project. There was a critical system update that also updated Libre Office back on October 21st of this month. Since that update whenever I try to open one of my files in Draw, I get this message:
Component cannot be loaded, possibly broken or incomplete installation.
Full error message:
loading component library «file:///us/lib64/libreoffice/program/./program/ libsdlo.so> failed /builddir/build/BUILD/libreoffice-7.3.6.2/cppuhelper/source/
shlib.cox.311.
I use Timeshift and was able to roll my whole system back to a time when this still worked. However, the updates keep wanting to be installed, and when I do things break again. Draw, so far, is the only program affected by this. It was experiencing some stability issues before, sort of half crashing while files were be saved or opened. I’m not sure if that is related, but thought it would be helpful to mention.
If anyone has any bright ideas on how to fix this, please don’t hesitate to share! My tech skills are not the greatest, but if you include instructions, I’ll do my best to follow along!
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
P.S.:
I’m Running Fedora 36 Workstation Edition, with Gnome 42.4, I mostly install all my software from the default Software Center. I’m also familiar with and have tried installing via dnf in the Terminal and also downloading the RPM from the website and installing it graphically. I have NOT tried using the Snap Store yet. Additionally, I have the following packages installed:
libreoffice-x11, libreoffice-gtk, libreoffice-kf5
