I suspect both. |
| 24 |
I was rebooting it before but libreoffice did not start for user |
| 25 |
"joseph" only for "alex" |
| 26 |
When I unmerge / emerge libreoffice it still did not work for user "joseph" |
| 27 |
but when I turn off the PC and rebooted next day, libreoffice all of a |
| 28 |
sudden started working for user "joseph" (both users). |

ll /var/run/user |
