Hello damm@e-lektro.de,

thank you very much for your bug report! However, Rainer Bielefeld is right: we need more information to be able to help you and to track down the bug.

Maybe the most important thing to check is if there is a problem with the existing user profile. So please try this first:
  Search for the folder "LibreOffice" at
    <your user folder>/Library/Application Support/LibreOffice/
  and rename that folder to something else, e.g. "LibreOffice-old".
  Then please try to start LibreOffice 3.6 again
  and report the results here:
  does it start now, or does it still crash?

Another idea:
It is possible that there are problems with the folder name: according to the crash log, your LibreOffice installation is at
  Applications/¥ BŸro/LibreOffice.app
and the folder "¥ BŸro" (or however it reads) contains some special characters. So please try to move "LibreOffice.app" directly into your Applications folder (out of the "¥ BŸro" folder), then, to be on the save side, rename your user profile folder again (see above), and then try again to start LibreOffice.

Thank you very much in advance!


(We can extract from the crashlog the following important data:
* Mac OS X 10.6.8
* on a Intel machine (MacBookPro8, 4 processors, Intel Core);
* the crash happens early in the startup process.)

see the attached OSX Crashlog

>   -- concerning your LibO localization (UI language, Locale setting)

UI: german
Locale setting: see attached User profile

>   –- Libo settings that might be related to your problems 
>     (video hardware acceleration ...)
>   -- how you launch LibO
doubleclick on application icon

>   -- Whether problem persists after you renamed your user profile

no, it works after rename the user profile

>   -- Whether you already used other versions without that bug
yes, 3.4.5 an 3.5.5
>     -- If yes how you updated
I copied the app from the image to the application subfolder

I can not reproduce the problem on OSX 10.8

Additionally, you state that in Comment 3 that it works after you deleted the user profile and restarted, so that would correspond to the problem already indicated of the release notes on the wiki/website page.


I'm inclined to close this as WFM, worksforme, since you say it is now working. If you feel that this is incorrect, please re-open and provide more detailed information.

I would add that :

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/3.6

does not appear to have been fully translated into German to include the list of MABs and the workarounds known at release date (like removing the bundled extensions from your user profile via the Terminal.app before starting LO.

Good news!

> > -- Whether you already used other versions without that bug
> yes, 3.4.5 an 3.5.5

Therefore I think this is yet another "Incorrect behavior using existing User Profile for upgrade"; so I add this bug to our task bug 43489.

Thank you very much for attaching the faulty old user profile! This could be helpful to track down the exact reasons for these crashes.

@Alex,
@Rainer:
I wonder what is the right way to proceed with this kind of bug. LibreOffice 3.6 is now working for the user, of course, but not because the bug just went away or was fixed, but because of a mere workaround (renaming the user profile). Under these circumstances, should we really mark the bug as RESOLVED|CLOSED WORKSFORME, or should we leave it open (at least for now) to make clear that the bug was not really fixed, but might need further investigation as part of our task bug 43489?

No offence -- I just want to make sure that we handle this kind of bug in a consistent and useful way!

Any chance you can delete the new profile, copy your old profile back, and install the latest pre-release:

http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

And check that it works ok with the old profile ?

If that is the case - the bug is truly fixed in 3.6.1 - testing very much appreciated :-)

Thanks !

If that is not the case, it's even more interesting - we need to re-open, and get a copy of the profile :-)
