libreoffice crashes when starting

libreoffice crashes when starting

[Brian]

Hello All,

I'm sorry to double post, if that's actually the case but I am having
some email client issues (resolved and am using Claws now).
I'm running the most recent Guix desktop as a VBox client on an Ubuntu
host. That's all working fine. I have updated and refreshed all of
the packages with 'guix pull' and 'guix refresh'. 
As an office suite I have installed libreoffice. However, upon starting
I get a milisecond long libreoffice splash screen and then it crashes.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled. I've deleted the config file in my
home directory but nothing has worked. Here is the terminal output.
Perhaps this will help define the problem?
Many thanks

Hi there!

This very problem seems to have been encountered before[1].

If information in that thread is correct, the fix would be to make sure
both the system profile and your user profile use the same version of
glibc.

Since you said packages in your user profile are already up-to-date,
I'd try `sudo guix system reconfigure /path/to/system/config.scm`.

If this doesn't work, you might also try running LibreOffice in a pure
container, similar to how it was done with Dino in yet another
thread[2].

Good luck :)
Wojtek

Thanks for this Wojtek. I will try it soon as I have another free time.

Good news! I ran guix pull, guix refresh, guix pull, removed
libreoffice and did a system reconfigure, installed libreoffice and
made sure the PATH was correct so ran
'GUIX_PROFILE="$HOME/.config/guix/current" .
"$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile' and libreoffice opens and works!
