Problem description: OS : LinuxMint 13 (based on Ubuntu 12.04) I completely "--purge autoremove" the existing libreoffice provided by ubuntu. Then downloaded the libreoffice 3.6 from the libreoffice.org website. did "dpkg -i *.deb". All products(writer,calc...) crash at splash screen. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install libreoffice using dpkg -i *.deb 2. Start libreoffice from menu. Current behavior: Crashes as splash. Expected behavior: Should open and show libreoffice products. Platform (if different from the browser): Linuxmint 13 MATE based on Ubuntu 12.04 uses MATE desktop environment Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1
Could you try with a brand new LO profile because I don't know if --purge removes it ? (see http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile) Backup yours before ! If you still reproduce it AND if lo-menubar is installed, could you test by uninstalling lo-menubar ?
I have reinstalled LO 3.6 by completely purging and deleting the profile files. But the problem still existed.Currently i am using lo 3.5.6.2 provided by ubuntu libreoffice team PPA which is working fine. Only the problem exits with LO 3.6 which i had installed from LO pre-releases PPA and also from the official LO.org website. No, lo-nemubar is not installed as i am using Linuxmint MATE edition
Thank you for your feedback. Did you install any specific font? Could you launch LO with this command line: strace -f <libo 3.6 directory>/soffice.bin > /tmp/strace.log 2>&1 and attach strace.log once zipped?

sorry for delayed reply.. I Libreoffice 3.6 is now available in libreoffice team ppa. I am facing the same problem here too.But now i have only installed libreoffice writer. the output of strace -f soffice > /tmp/strace.log 2>&1 is attached.
Thank you for your feedback. By taking a look to your strace it seems the pb is "Aquabase-spanish-support.ttf" You should read about this tracker:https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53258. The fix is planned for 3.6.2 release. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 53258 ***
Indeed Aquabase-spanish-support.ttf is the culprit. I deleted it from the .fonts folder..Now everything is working fine
