When starting libre office (taskbar and cli) it will not come up without an error message. I already tried apt purge/install, apt remove / install, moved ~/.config/libreoffice but nothing happens. is there a way to at least get some debug messages?
Somehow it starts as superuser
from libreoffice --help:
LibreOffice 24.8.4.2 480(Build:2)
It may mean nothing to you, but it always means something.
well, if I say without, I mean there is nothing as in
$ soffice
(here I wait for a few minutes)
^C
$
also strace does not show anything out of the ordinary
Sorry, I read this as “it never starts without showing an error message”.
Anyway, killall -9 soffice.bin kills any hidden instance of LibreOffice.
If that command does NOT show any error, there was some LibreOffice process up and running, preventing a new instance from being started. If you run that command a second time, it should raise an error “no process found”. Try again now.
Thank you, that actually did the trick.
