(Heiko) + interesting if we have steps wrt how to corrupt it (Xisco) + otherwise: clean the profile via safe modeYeah, I just had one of these (tdf#135398, of little interest). And the closest I could come for the wanted steps was "I routinely abuse LibreOffice in every way I can think of, and then I do it all over again." This is somewhat short on detail. <grin /> I have hacked together a script to commit the user profile to a git repository after execution of soffice. My hope is that I shall be able to usefully localize the origin of the corruption. If I have success, I will come back for advice on how to generalize and share my work. I guess success here means that (a) I get versioning working; (b) I stumble across another problem dependent on a corrupted profile, and I can bisect back to an execution of LO; (c) the changes made by that execution are both small enough to bear examination and they inform somebody (probably not me) of what went wrong. It would be good--but is probably too much to hope for-- that I should remember what I was doing in that execution of LO. Should I persist in this effort? Thoughts welcome.
I think it's a good idea! A neat way to get diagnostics in the background. I hope you persist.
