After update libreoffice wont start

  • 772

Updated Ubuntu gnome 16.04 this week and libreoffice will not run from it's icon or CLI. Since my .deb libreOffice package died, I installed using the libreoffice snap and the snap package works. Now i have two libreoffice packages installed a .deb and a snap. Snap works .deb does not. updated kernal to 4.10.0-35-generic. Would like to use the .deb because the it looks better then the snap. Think my theme wasn't applied to the snap. Snap build : libreoffice-5.3.4.2-snap1 deb build : 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2

  1. Had the same issue with LibreOffice v5.4.1.2. I cleared

    • ~/.config/libreoffice/4/cache/*,
    • ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/uno_packages/cache/*, and
    • the .lock file

    and it works fine for now.

    This worked from me, 

    apt-get remove --purge libreoffice*
apt-get clean
apt-get autoremove
apt-get install libreoffice
reboot

  3. Use the following command:

    sudo  apt --fix-broken install

    Then, to clean up old packages, use this command:

    sudo apt autoremove
