Description: Recently, I removed some non-English fonts from my system. After removing the fonts-lohit* packages and updating the fonts cache, none of the LibreOffice programs open any longer. The icon appears briefly in the taskbar but then disappears in about a second. No error message appears. Opening with sudo from the terminal does work. Here is the result of a backtrace using Writer: warning: Currently logging to gdbtrace.log. Turn the logging off and on to make the new setting effective.

Neither running in safe mode or deleting/recreating the user config folder helps. If these font packages are reinstalled (along with cache update & reboot), LibreOffice opens again. I tried to single out a package that was causing issues, but the only solution was reinstalling the whole group at once (sudo apt install fonts-lohit*). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Remove Lohit fonts using apt: sudo apt remove fonts-lohit* 2. Update fonts cache: sudo fc-cache -frv 3. Reboot 4. Open LibreOffice (through GUI or terminal) Actual Results: LibreOffice crashes immediately on startup Expected Results: LibreOffice opens normally with the fonts in question no longer listed Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: Version: 7.1.4.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 10(Build:2) CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.11; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Ubuntu package version: 1:7.1.4-0ubuntu0.21.04.1 Calc: threaded Kubuntu 21.04

(In reply to Julien Nabet from comment #1) > Could you give a try at > https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FirstSteps#Corrupted_user_profile ? I renamed the user dir to user-old, then launched. A new user directory appeared, but still no luck.
Can't reproduce (on kubuntu 21.04) Version: 7.1.4.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 10(Build:2) CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.11; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: en-US Ubuntu package version: 1:7.1.4-0ubuntu0.21.04.1 Calc: threaded
(In reply to Aidan K from comment #0) > CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.11; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 > Kubuntu 21.04 I'm wondering why you see "VCL: gtk3" while you are on Kubuntu, which is the KDE flavor of Ubuntu and you should have "VCL: kf5" (KDE Frameworks 5). Could you please try following command in a terminal: SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=kf5 libreoffice Does it work this way?
No matter what I do, I'm now (thankfully?) unable to reproduce the issue. LibreOffice opens every time, with or without the Lohit fonts.

Though I have gotten the program working, this command still opens LO with gtk3.
[Automated Action] NeedInfo-To-Unconfirmed
Let's put this one to WFM then. If you reproduce this again, don't hesitate to reopen this tracker of course.
