I am receiving the following error when trying to start any of the Libreoffice applications with Gnome 3.18 on Antergos: (soffice:10698): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_set_boxed: assertion 'G_VALUE_HOLDS_BOXED (value)' failed (soffice:10698): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gtype.c:4268: type id '0' is invalid (soffice:10698): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: can't peek value table for type '<invalid>' which is not currently referenced Linux Antergos-Carbon 4.1.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Aug 17 08:52:28 CEST 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux
LibO 5.0.2 is out. please upgrade and tell if issue persists.
Installed Gnome 3.18 on my Antergos 64-bit (by enabling testing repo). No problem launching LibO 5.0.1 apps.
@bgblanch please retest with 5.0.2 and give feedback NEEDINFO until then
I'm also unable to start Libreoffice with the same errors as the reporter. I'm running gnome 3.18 on Antergos as well. $ libreoffice --version LibreOffice 5.0.2.2 00m0(Build:2)
Reproducible with Gnome 3.18 and Libreoffice 5.0.2.2 here.
Hmm, it seems it's specific to Antergos (i.e. Numix GTK theme). Changing the GTK theme solves the problem.
Yup, changing from Numix-Frost to Arc seems to stop the crash. Wouldn't call that a fix though :)
*** Bug 94916 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Changing the theme to Adwaita leads to a different problem. LibreOffice does start in this case, but while using Calc, when I try to click on the "save as" button, it crashes. It should be something related to again GTK theme and GTK VCL plugin where the Save dialog triggers the crash. Defining SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen provides a workaround for this problem.

Perhaps you could try getting a backtrace of the crash and then creating a new report for it and linking to it here by saying "bug xxxxxx". https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Debug_Information#GNU.2FLinux:_How_to_get_a_backtrace

It seems the crash is reported as bug 94936, can you confirm there (same messages in terminal etc.)?
Created attachment 119538 [details] Backtrace
94936 doesn't seem to be identical. I can't get LibreOffice to even start with the GTK2 VCL. I attached a backtrace of my own.
Created attachment 119551 [details] backtrace I was just about to create another bug for this. Libreoffice started crashing at startup on my x86_64 Antergos Linux machine after the most recent update. LibreOffice 5.0.2.2 00m0(Build:2) Attached a backtrace. Switching my theme from Numix-Frost did fix the crash for me, but I'd rather keep my theme as is.
I am also now unable to open evolution. I'm getting the same error messages. I was able to use this workaround to get it working for now. commenting out the few lines containing "link_color" in gtk-3.0/gtk.css and gtk-3.0/gtk-widgets.css of the theme (Numix) seems to "workaround" the issue https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=203512 There appears to be an issue with the Numix stuff. Unlike some others, changing the theme didn't help for me. I know that there is also an issue with lightdm and the Numix theme as I'm getting a white screen when trying to log in (separate but related issue is my guess)
The problem would appear to be in GTK+. A fix was released with GTK+ 3.18.2: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756338 bgblanch, can you upgrade and confirm? 3.18.2 is in the Arch/Antergos repos now.

Comment on attachment 119591 [details] Backtrace The proposed workarounds (editing the libreoffice-fresh.sh) has no effect on this bug and the crash still persists.

Which proposed workaround is that? It hasn't been mentioned in this thread. Have you tried upgrading to 3.18.2? That fixed the issue for me.

The duplicate bug author proposed the following solution: -Editing /etc/profile.d/libreoffice-fresh.sh and uncommenting either VCLPLUGIN=gtk or gen. I've tried uncommenting either lines and restarting lboffice with no avail. > Have you tried upgrading to 3.18.2? That fixed the issue for me. I have upgrade my system to 3.18.2 and even with a restart the problem still persists.

I just noticed that LibreOffice put out 5.0.3 that is supposed to include a GTK+ fix. If upgrading GTK+ to 3.18.2 doesn't work, I'll give that a try and update the bug.
