LibreOffice 7.3 not working on Fedora 34??

Yesterday, Downloaded and installed and it reports a
crash, but just gives option to submit it, but no details.
Come up in safe mode, but opening calc just drops to
command prompt.
Tried running with strace, and don't see anything that
looks like error.
Have the Fedora 34 regular latest version running fine,
and have the had 7.2.x versions up to 7.2.5 and both work
fine.
Thought perhaps having 7.2.5 and 7.3 caused issue, so
uninstalled both, and then reinstalled 7.3, but same
results.
Have uninstalled 7.3, and put the 7.2.5 back, and it is
working.
Only tested with Calc, so not sure if 7.3 had other items
working?
Don't know what it actual submitted with the error it
found, or if includes any way to contact me of issue?
Thanks.

Thanks for info. Checked that bug report, and it links as
dup to another report. Does show more info than what I
am seeing, but no solution yet.

Downloaded the latest daily dev build I seem to find that
shows the date of the 2/5 and 7.3.0.0 and it does the
same.

One of the messages talks about a version 7.3.0.3 that
works, but I can't seem to find it on any of the links.
Perhaps it fixed this issue, but caused others??

Did try, and document and impress options do open, but
calc option just fails. It again sends report sometimes.

Will watch for an update, but again. Thanks.

Hi Michael,

One of the messages talks about a version 7.3.0.3 that
works, but I can't seem to find it on any of the links.
Perhaps it fixed this issue, but caused others??

Have a look here: https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/

or here: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/

7.3.0.3 is the current release of LO.

Robert

Have a look here: https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/

or here: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/

7.3.0.3 is the current release of LO.

The link just 7.3.0, but downloaded again, and file was
exactly the same as the earlier download. So, guess
7.3.0.3 might work with Fedora 35, but doesn't work on
any of my Fedora 34 machines.

Now https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147135

This bug has been reported in the forums of a number Linux distros. The
issue is very random and appears to only arise in some hardware
environments.

For example, I run PCLinuxOS with either Intel or AMD based hardware on
a number of machines and I cannot reproduce the crash. For others with
near equivalent hardware and software environments to mine, the crash is
100% reproducible.

This is going to be a difficult one for the devs to track down.

Dave

What I am about to say has no bearing on anything related to reality, but, this is what I had to do to make VMWare work on Fedora after I built my own  binaries. The likliehood that this will work for you is very small indeed.

I think you will need to create a password for signing. I do not remember when, but, just think of a password and write it down or something.

(1) Generate a key, but do NOT use CN=VMware, use something like CN=LibreOffice
openssl req -new -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout MOK.priv -outform DER -out MOK.der -nodes -days 36500 -subj "/CN=VMware/"

(2) Import said key
mokutil --import MOK.der

(3) Sign the file of importance. In my case it was vmmon and vmnet (I ran this twice) for oyu it is probably soffice.bin
/usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)/scripts/sign-file sha256 ./MOK.priv ./MOK.der $(modinfo -n vmmon)

Will this work? Probably not. If you are using Fedora, why not just use the version in the repo?

I only mention all this because if it were me I would try it, but I am on Fedora 35 now and I am using the version from the fedora repo.

Thanks for info, but I'm just installing from the rpm files
included in the libreoffice downloads, so not building
anything from source? Not sure if perhaps they used a
Fedora 35 key for the rpm that is not compatible with
Fedora 34. I build kernels from source for my g4l project.
Just strange that calc seems to fail, but others work.
Something that some libreoffice developer might know.

This is not just Fedora.
I am facing the same problem in RHEL 8.5 installed using RPMS.

Hi,

I installed a new RHEL 8.5 instance on a laptop.
LO 7.3 did not crash after installation.
It looks like moving from 7.2.5 to 7.3 or some problem with leftover files
in the RHEL upgrade caused the issue.

Thanks
