It could be some problem with $PATH. I see firefox crashing/hanging when displaying videos

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.
Best,
Michael
