Hi,
On behalf of the Computer Wombling Project I am refurbishing a donated
Toshiba NB250-107 netbook. It has a 64-bit CPU and 1GiB RAM. Because
of that I installed 32-bit Lubuntu 18.04.1. Whenever I try to open a
(small) document with LibreOffice Writer, the hard drive whirs a bit,
some of the LibreOffice window appears... and then LibreOffice closes.
I think it is running out of memory. I've put a 2GiB partition on the
hard drive but that does not seem to be used. Here is the output of
the swapon --summary command:-
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/sda1 partition 1998844 0 -2
Thanks :)
Ian

That problem sounds like what I encountered. When I submitted the
bug-report, here is the reply I got, which turned out to be the solution
work-around:
That's very likely a duplicate of bug #1699772.
To confirm this, can you run the following command in a terminal:
sed -i '/enabled/c\<enabled xsi:nil="false">false<\/enabled>'
~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/config/javasettings_Linux_*.xml
Then execute libreoffice writer and let me know if the crash is still
happening? Thanks!
[For the record, that command disables the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) in
libreoffice, which is known to cause crashes on 32bits processors. Some
functions of libreoffice won't work without Java (the most visible probably
being libreoffice base), but most of the office suite should work just fine.]

Writer Won't Run on Pentium-4 32-bit Computer Status in libreoffice
package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: On a Dell GX-270 (Intel
32-bit) computer running Lubuntu 18.04, I can run LibreOffice, but when
I select LibreOffice Writer the LibreOffice window disappears, and
nothing happens, as if the application just terminated normally, without
doing anything. An AppPort window reporting an error appeared, but when
I clicked its "Send" button, the window disappeared without doing
anything. If I run LibreOffice Writer directly from the menu, I get a
frame of its window (with nothing filled-in inside), which persists for
awhile, and then disappears. In either case, no error message appears,
and nothing further happens. LibreOffice Calc, on the other hand,
appears to run, though I haven't tried any spreadsheet using it. I
expected LibreOffice Writer to initialize, and then use it for editing
documents (as it did on Lubuntu 16.04), but the LibreOffice Writer
window disappeared. The same problem occurred on a Dell GX-260 computer.
