I would have up-voted or responded to this thread but I do not have enough rep: Libreoffice doesnt work since update to ubuntu 15.04

After an upgrade to Ubuntu 15.04 LibreOffice (Writer, Calc etc) crashes on startup. It also logs me out and restarts X server.

I tried running gksu libreoffice 2>&1 >libreoffice_crash_log.txt but the log contains 0 bytes. I also tried renaming /home/me/.config/libreoffice to /home/me/.config/libreoffice.old to no avail. This has been happening since my upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04. I have the same symptoms on the KDE (plasma) desktop as well as Unity. My video card is a Radeon HD 7990 and I'm using the wrapper driver from X.Org. The log /var/log/Xorg.0.log contains no tell-tale crash entries.

What else can I verify to help solve this issue?

Edit - added logfile /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old

  • I don't have exact this problem, but today LibreOffice crashed with really no good reason. I clicked on toolbar to customize it... and it crashed :-( I experienced two-three different similar situation... I am thinking to return to 14.10 or 14.04.

  • Happens also in Ubuntu GNOME 15.04, startup crash, restarts X-server, can't report anything.

    This is a serious bug in the X server (most likely in the video driver). Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old, it should have some information. (The .log without .old starts fresh when X crashes and is re-started to show the login screen.)

  • BTW using 'gksu' to run libreoffice is a bad idea and shouldn't be necessary. (But it can't be the reason for the crash.)

  • I only used 'gksu' to try and eliminate the profile as the bug source.

I also faced the same problem. This solved my problem. To summarize, just install fglrx-updates.
