I just tried version 1:5.3.0~rc3-0ubuntu1~xenial1.1. Now I don't get a crash any longer, but I get this message:
soffice.bin: Couldn't find current GLX or EGL context. A little googling and it seems that this error is due to my OpenGL version: $ glxinfo | grep version server glx version string: 1.4 client glx version string: 1.4 GLX version: 1.4 OpenGL version string: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 304.131 OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20 NVIDIA via Cg compiler OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 2.0 NVIDIA 304.131 304.131 OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 1.00 This is an older machine with an AGP card. Does libreoffice now require OpenGL 3? Without OpenGL rendering, the GUI drawing is painfully slow and "Use hardware acceleration" and "Use anti-aliasing" options make no difference. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1641264 Title: libreoffice crashes on startup when using OpenGL rendering and proprietary nvidia driver. Status in LibreOffice: Unknown Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I noticed that Libreoffice was rendering very slow (I can see each menu option drawn) so I tried using OpenGL rendering, which causes libreoffice to crash immediately on start-up. I confirm that OpenGL is working fine: $ glxinfo | head name of display: :0.0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation server glx version string: 1.4 I'm able to use glxgears and other apps like djv_view with fast rendering.
