I am having a problem with LO 7.0 RC1 and RC2. I installed them on my Ubuntu 20.04 machine using dpkg as I did with the alpha and beta versions. During the alpha and beta releases, this worked just fine and I could test them. However, using the same procedure to install the RC versions I get a crash screen at startup and I can only get LO 7.0 running on safe mode. The crash screen says "Unfortunately it seems that LibreOffice crashed when it was last run". I am not sure if this is a bug or if this is something I did wrong installing it. What I did was download the installer, extract its contents and run: sudo dpkg -i *.deb I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I tried rebooting my computer, but nothing changed. The crashes keep occurring. I should mention that I have LO 6.4.5 (PPA version) installed and that LO 7.0 did not replace it. Both are still installed, even though I read that installing the RC version would replace my existing installation. LO 6.4 is still working fine.
(PPA packages and TDF packages can co-exist, and that is a feature, not a bug)
It is good to know that this is a feature. Indeed it is a nice thing to have both versions installed. However LO 7.0 RC2 keeps crashing at startup whereas LO 6.4.5 doesn't. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
This could be a duplicate of bug 135495. Could you please try to reproduce it with a master build from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ ? You can install it alongside the standard version. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the master build
I installed the official 7.0.0.3 version using the PPA and still had the same problem. All LO applications crashed at startup. I was able to fix it by resetting my user profile. However, I think this should be looked into, because it might be happening with less experienced users that do not know how to reset their user profiles. I am running LO 7.0.0.3 on Ubuntu 20.04 and Gnome 3.36 (with nvidia graphics card).
Hi Rafael, you should test with a daily build in order to check whether this issue is a duplicate of bug 135495, which I believe so
(In reply to Xisco Faulí from comment #5) > Hi Rafael, > you should test with a daily build in order to check whether this issue is a > duplicate of bug 135495, which I believe so I've just done that. I downloaded the following build: master~2020-08-09_14.07.53_LibreOfficeDev_7.1.0.0.alpha0_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz I started all LO applications and experienced no crashes this time. I also switched to the tabbed interface and no problems occurred. I guess this issue may have been solved for LO 7.1.

Thanks for testing. Let's close it as a duplicate of bug 135495 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 135495 ***
