[Solved] Cannot open libreoffice due to crash

undo the edits/remove that file and try w/ the different java version again, in doubt also strace it again to make sure the new JRE path was picked up.

You've still got the same frikkin typo. Remove this.

<enabled xsi:nil="false">false<enabled nil="true"></enabled>

Again, the line should read EXACTLY:

<enabled xsi:nil="false">false</enabled>

Either change the java version per seth or properly edit the file to disable the JRE altogether.

As the error your seeing ('com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException') is directly related to java, it's highly suspect.

Furthermore, unless you've got specific requirements for using the JRE in Libreoffice I suggest leaving this option disabled going forward.

@seth:
I have deleted both files and uninstalled java11, the bug persists; the new log:
https://0x0.st/8SlV.txt

@tekstryder
There is no typo. I copy and paste your text to the file. The file is automatically modified after trying to run LO.

Afaiu #25 it's actually LO that alters the config after initially complaining about

java23 iscertainly now used.

Things end after

$ LC_ALL=C.utf8 libreoffice
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException'
$ LC_ALL=C libreoffice
Detected locale "C" with character encoding "ANSI_X3.4-1968", which is not UTF-8.
Qt depends on a UTF-8 locale, and has switched to "C.UTF-8" instead.
If this causes problems, reconfigure your locale. See the locale(1) manual
for more information.

"pacman -Qi" was giving weird info about libreoffice-fresh-pt-br package, with "Size 0" and other info as "unknown".
Then I uninstalled the package, tried to reinstall it and got lots of "<file> exists in filesystem" warnings.
I have successfully reinstalled the package with:

$ sudo pacman -S libreoffice-fresh-pt-br --overwrite usr/lib/*

Now my LO is working again! \o/
Thank you very much, seth and tekstryder, for the help.

Right. Well that's an interesting catch-22.

Anyway, could simply be an outdated/unofficial language pack. They're kept in sync with release tho:

extra/libreoffice-fresh-br 25.2.1-1
    Breton language pack for LibreOffice Fresh
extra/libreoffice-still-br 24.8.5-1
    Breton language pack for LibreOffice still

EDIT: I'm late as usual
