LibreOffice 5.3.4.2 crashes all the time. Using LO Writer, I have to save every few minutes, otherwise it crashes. It also crashes when I exit LO, also if no documents are open. All of the same also happened with LO's penultimate upgrade but never before.

Hi,
please, can you try to start LibreOffice with a fresh user profile?

1. close all the documents
2. close LibreOffice
3. clean the user profile
4. try to start LibreOffice with the new fresh profile
5. Update us here

Ciao,
Marina

Thank you for answering so promptly. Where do I find the user profile?

[ale_ndb]

Oh, sorry: I jsut noticed that you linked the words “user profile” to an explanation

[deneb_alpha]

no problem.

Ok, Marina, I’ve tried. I followed your 5 steps (this is the fifth) but nothing changed, except that it no longer crashes after a few minutes but after 20 minutes, maybe even 30. If I open two LO Writer files, work on the 1st, don’t save it, leave it open in the background, work on the 2nd and often save it, I get no crashes (not even of the file in the background). If I leave them open without doing anything, in 20 minutes they both crash.

When they crash, I always get this message from LO Writer: A causa di un errore inatteso, LibreOffice si è bloccato. Tutti i file su cui stavi lavorando saranno ora salvati. Al prossimo avvio di LibreOffice, i tuoi file saranno automaticamente ripristinati. Saranno rispristinati i seguenti file:". But that’s not true: the files I was working on are only re-opened and only include what I saved. Ciao

I had this problem of constant crashing after creating a very complex calc sheet. The solution I found was to rename the calc file so that LibreOffice did not try to access it in any way (I guess). Luckily I had uploaded the sheet to google drive where I continue to edit it no problem.
