[SOLVED] Libreoffice Writer crashes
For some reason libreoffice-still 5.2.7-1 Writer crashes when I try to open any of my documents (.odt, .doc, any file type).
Calc opens documents as it should... and I haven't tried anything with Impress.
When I try to start Writer via terminal, after the crash there is no error output.
This started happening today.
Packages that were updated before this issue are lua, python-ptyprocess, gtkmm and glibmm.
They don't seem connected with LO... And I'm not sure what is going on. I haven't found anything useful online yet ( only this really similar report with ubuntu https://askubuntu.com/questions/927859/ … s-on-start )
Has anyone else had this kind of experience and does anyone have the idea how to solve it?
Btw, I'm on xfce desktop.

Re: [SOLVED] Libreoffice Writer crashes
In the mean time I've tried libreoffice-fresh and the same issue occured.
HOWEVER, when I've tried LINUX-LTS kernel everything was working fine!!! There was no issue. 
With coredumpctl, on kernel linux 4.11.6-3 I got:
Storage: /var/lib/systemd/coredump/core.soffice\x2ebin.1000.58a96ea340934d2ca97952d92e83add5.1927.1498316535000000000000.lz4

Re: [SOLVED] Libreoffice Writer crashes
Cause is likely https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/pack … e73247afe1 can you try with 4.11.6-1?
Which jre do you use?

Re: [SOLVED] Libreoffice Writer crashes
I'm using jre8-openjdk.
I'm not comfortable with downgrading my kernel at this moment...

Re: [SOLVED] Libreoffice Writer crashes
It has something to do with kernel!
With LTS kernel everything was working smoothly until the latest update to 4.9.34.
Again Libreoffice Writer stopped working.
So, I've downgraded the linux-lts to previous version (4.9.33) and now Libreoffice Writer works like a charm again.
This is not a solution at all.
For the time being, I have to put linux-lts and linux-lts-headers on Ignore list.
I don't know what to do.
Am I left to hope that the next kernel update will fix this issue?
When can I hope that will happen?

Re: [SOLVED] Libreoffice Writer crashes
"Never" - it's unlikely that the page guard fix is reverted so from all I can say the problem is likely in openjdk or libreoffice (increasing the stack size).
There's a recent update to libreoffice-fresh, but I don't know whether it covers this.
Edit: found https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Start_Parameters
Try adding "-Xss1280k" there, in doubt increase the value (not using libreoffice I can't say at hand how much stack it will require)

Re: [SOLVED] Libreoffice Writer crashes
Thank you seth so much.
I've used your suggestion and the link you provided... and it helped!
I've turned off java in Libreoffice. This prevents LO Writer from further crashing.
For anyone else that might have similar issue, here's how I've solved it:
Start Libreoffice, click on Tools, click on options and under Libreoffice section click on Advanced.
And instead of changing parameteres, considering I don't use java in Libreoffice, I've simply deselected "Use a Java runtime environment".
I still don't know how can a kernel update trigger something like this, but from the point of Arch linux I consider this issue solved.
Again, thank you seth very much. You've been most helpful.
