Libreoffice crash on startup

Hi there, sorry if it's a newbie mistake, but I can't make libreoffice running properly. There's seems to be a problem with the locale.

This is the console output for libreoffice:

$ libreoffice 
   I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale ""
   I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale "en_US"

And it exit immediately. No window is showing up.

Locale information:

$ locale -a
 C
 en_US.utf8
 POSIX

$ localectl 
   System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: n/a
      X11 Layout: n/a

This is the content of my locale.gen:

# comments...

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8  

# comments...

And finally, my locale.conf:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8

A great thanks for the help.

EDIT: The splash screen is showing up, but nothing else.

Please post the list of libreoffice packages you have installed using:

pacman -Qs libreoffice

Which language are you trying to use?

Re: Libreoffice crash on startup

Hi, sorry for the delay. The output of the pacman command is this:

local/libcdr 0.1.3-3
    CorelDraw file format importer library for LibreOffice
local/libreoffice-fresh 5.3.2-3
    LibreOffice branch which contains new features and program enhancements

I only have english US on my workstation, which is the language I'm trying to it on.

    LibreOffice branch which contains new features and program enhancements

locale -a

C
en_CA.utf8
en_US.utf8
POSIX

localectl

   System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: n/a
      X11 Layout: n/a

cat /etc/locale.conf

LANG=en_US.UTF-8

cat /etc/locale.gen | grep --ignore-case --invert-match \#

en_CA.UTF-8 UTF-8
