I am using libreoffice version 5.1.4.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. It worked perfectly well yesterday and today it doesn't. I have completely uninstalled it an reinstalled. Everything works except for calc. When I try to open a spreadsheet/excel file it greys out and freezes. At the bottom left hand corner it says "calculating". It just hangs there. Now when I run Writer or Impress, they work fine, but after trying to run Calc, they too do not open.I have to re-boot to get Write and Impress to work. When I rebooted and tried to run Calc from the command line (using localc), I got the following error messages: ** (process:2962): WARNING **: require a newer gtk than 3.10 for theme expectations (soffice:2962): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_window_set_icon_list: icons too large I hesitate to upgrade to a later version of gtk as I read somewhere that it does not work well with the unity desktop. I have read that it breaks the unity desktop. The error messages came up once only and have since not appeared. I have since installed OpenOffice as I was desperate and had work to do. OpenOffice works fine LibreOffice was installed via the Synaptic Package Manager
Is it a specific spreadsheet or any spreadsheet? If it's a specific one, we need it attached here to look at it. Also try resetting your profile: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile Setting to NEEDINFO - please answer the above and then set to UNCONFIRMED. Thanks
Sorry for the late response. The problem exists with all spreadsheets irrespective of size. I have tried resetting my profile. I have also completely deleted the contents of the .config folder. I have in the interim installed OpenOffice which is working fine.
Have you considered upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04?
