Libreoffice stalls at splash in LUbuntu

[ConscienciaSC]

hi, i am using lubuntu because i had problems with the normal ubuntu desktop.

somehow i messed up gtk and libreoffice stalls at the splash screen.

i snap remove libreoffice and then snap install. but the behavior persisted. (so LO is up-to-date to 6.2.5.2)

$ /snap/bin/libreoffice


ERROR: ld.so: object 'libgtk3-nocsd.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (failed to map segment from shared object): ignored.
Gtk-Message: 07:47:30.632: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar"
Gtk-Message: 07:47:30.654: Failed to load module "gail"

as extra info, right after reboot light-locker crashes too, which may be related.
(i tried How to Fix Broken Packages in Linux - Make Tech Easier but nothing interesting happened)

$ lsb_release -a

$ uname -r

thx Opaque.

ok, after (re-) installing the missing libs and rebooting, LO opened and seems to be working normally.
But for the sake of completeness this is what appeared in the terminal

$ /snap/bin/libreoffice
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libgtk3-nocsd.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (failed to map segment from shared object): ignored.

and when i opened an ods file within LO, this appeared:

(soffice:2729): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: 11:52:59.994: Error creating IO channel for /proc/self/mountinfo: Permission denied (g-file-error-quark, 2)

i am not sure it will help but here it is:

Hello,

first of all fix your issues loading libraries and modules by re-installing the related dpkg packages:

1. sudo apt install --reinstall gtk3-nocsd
2. sudo apt install --reinstall overlay-scrollbar
3. sudo apt install --reinstall libgail-common
4. sudo apt install --reinstall libatk-adaptor

If that’s done - please post any new error (please use edit to update your original question. Do not post an answer)

[anon73440385]

Hello
your command /snap/bin/libreoffice looks like you are using LibreOffice from snap and I’m not familiar with snap, since don’t use that, never used it and do not plan to use it. Therefore unortunately I cannot comment on your subsequent errors/warnings.

May be you could provide the output of /usr/bin/snap list

My test system shows:

user@system:> /usr/bin/snap list

Updated to your core18 version and still cannot reproduce your subsequent errors.
