34 The trace clearly shows a segfault, which is what you would expect given how
35 the program behaves -- but I can't tell what's causing it. Maybe someone else
36 can tell us.
37
38 I can suggest a few things to check, though. I'd try moving or deleting your
39 ~/.libreoffice directory to see if something in there is corrupted. If LO
40 wants to import old settings from OO try saying no.
41
42 I notice you're using iced-tea for java. Have you used java-config-2 to
43 make sure it's all set up correctly? Note that the java settings in LO
44 need to be edited by hand if you change java versions :(Dumb, but doesn't
45 cause a segfault for me.)
46
47 Are you running python-3 instead of python-2?
48
49 Do you get the same segfault by running /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin
50 directly?
51
52 Good idea to create a new (ordinary) user account so you can try failing programs
53 with a completely fresh environment -- not at all the same as running something
54 as root, of course, and very safe if you use a strong password for the new user.
55
56 Out of ideas for the moment.
