I will eventually try just reinstalling my OS and everything, to see if that might resolve it. I suspect that I might have to downgrade to Devuan Beowulf. I did have OO running on Beowulf, but that was a 32-bit machine, and the saved packages don't match my 64-bit laptop, and now I can't find older versions of OO in 64-bit.
So now I have to try to find some combination of OS, preferably Devuan, and an office program that are compatible for my machine. The machine itself is practically brand-new, runs well, I need to resolve several issues, of which this is the most important.
Hi Bill,
To save yourself some time, try the OS/OO combinations in a VM. That way you'll at least have a [semi] functioning machine until you hit the jackpot.
I did give LibreOffice a try, too, but now not even that will run properly.
LO should run perfectly fine on any recent Debian based derivative. So, that's a bit worrying and implies that you've broken your current install. Maybe first try loading what you want [Devuan Chimaera 64-bit?] into a VM (to get a perfectly clean copy), make a VM backup*, and then re-try installing OO, LO, etc.
It could be some problem with $PATH. I see firefox crashing/hanging when displaying videos on my laptop when I start it from TDE menu or via <alt+F2>, but it works perfectly fine when I launch it from a terminal. (some day I'll need to figure that out, 'caus it works on my desktop where I have fiddled with $PATH some time ago)
Nik
Best, Michael
- Yeah, I don’t know how either :( “Google it with Bing” as it’s now

Here's what I use to visualize my $PATH | ~ | $ alias paths | alias paths='echo $PATH | tr ''':''' '''\n'''' | @02:28:01,leslie@pinto rc=0
and here is the $PATH search order: | ~ | $ paths | /home/leslie/bin | /home/leslie/.local/bin | /opt/trinity/bin | /opt/trinity/lib64 | /usr/local/bin | /bin | /usr/bin | /usr/local/sbin | /sbin | /usr/sbin | /usr/local/lib64 | /usr/local/lib | @02:29:59,leslie@pinto rc=0
(I put /opt/trinity/... before the main executables because for a while at least, some Trinity programs were named the same as KDE programs.) Unfortunately, OpenOffice is no longer available for my distro, so I can't test if it works or not on my machine.
