Hi :) Crashing is usually due to some 3rd party Extension or some weird tangle of settings in the User Profile. Renaming the User Profile is usually fairly quick and easy, once you've figured it out first time https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile
The 2nd most likely cause has tended to be Java issues. if you are using the internal back-end on Base or using Accessibility tools such as screen-readers then there might not be much you can do except to maybe consider upgrading Java or finding a more stable version of Java. The rest of us can switch off Java dependence temporarily; Tools - Options - Advanced and if LibreOffice grumbles then switch it back on again. Most people find they can live without Java in LibreOffice and maybe even uninstall it. Generally it is always best to stick with the distro-specific tweaked versions of almost all software. Going outside of that often requires quite a bit of 'proper' linuxy experience and knowledge. It's not usually a good idea for a point&click user like myself! However LibreOffice is one of the exceptions. it's very forgiving about it's dependencies and it's unlikely that something else is depending on a specific version of LO. It's about the only package i ever install directly from the upstream site and i have grown quite comfortable doing so. If it doesn't work out it's fairly easy to remove all the downloaded official TDF version and then reinstall your own distros version from their repos but it's unlikely you would need to. The only downside is that you have to remember to upgrade it yourself. Many of us don't even upgrade once a year, despite official recommendations, without any noticeable problems. It is also possible to install more than 1 version of LibreOffice at a time to get the best of both worlds https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel On 19 November 2014 09:28, Harvey Nimmo <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, 2014-11-19 at 09:55 +0100, Alex Thurgood wrote: > > Le 14/11/2014 15:39, Harvey Nimmo a écrit : > > > > Hi Harvey, > > > > > My configuration is Libre-Office Version: 4.3.2.2.0+ > > > Build ID: 430m0(Build:2) on Gnome 3.14.1 under Opensuse 13.2. > > > > > > > Is this the version of LibreOffice provided by the OpenSuse package > > management system ? i.e. a version built and provided by the OpenSuse > > project ? > > > > Can you try a TDF provided version of LibreOffice instead (from the > > LibreOffice download page) or are there no suitable packages ? > > > > > > Alex > > > Yes, this is the version provided under OpenSuse.
