Can't run libreoffice

hello,

libreoffice is not running after trying to recover a file (it fails at recovering). None of any libreoffice works (calc, writer...). It just displays the "libreoffice" image, it asks me to recover file, i discard or accept and then it closes. What might it be?? pls help

Re: Can't run libreoffice

Run it in a terminal, post the output in [ code ] tags. Also ensure that there is no zombie libreoffice process remaining.

Re: Can't run libreoffice

I get this:

QPaintDevice: Cannot destroy paint device that is being painted .

And i checked zombie processes by "ps aux | grep Z" and there isn't anything

if i run libreoffice by using "sudo" it works. Without sudo, it not works.

Re: Can't run libreoffice

I'm not sure you'd have a guaranteed Zombie process, just look for libreoffice,soffice,lowriter and whatever process names they may have currently.

This might be an incompatibility with the Qt VCL, what if you switch to a another VCL theme e.g. gtk3_kde5
