Are you running it from a root desktop, or from a root terminal on a user
desktop? Why are you running it as root in the first place? What happens
when you try it as root?

Also, is this libreoffice or libreoffice-bin, and which version?

Hello Neil Bothwick,

Thank you for answer me.

Let me explain you a little bit more... I am trying to execute from a root
terminal, because as a normal user, it justs show me the splash screen (of
libre office) but, it does not open the program.

So, in a root terminal it shows me the error above.

I'm using libreoffice, ~amd64

Before updating world everything was working fine...

First & usually best bet, enter the error msg in Google.
When I did that just now I got :

  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=837847
  http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?p=1423295
  http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2011-02/msg03139.html

These suggest that the problem described above is caused
by trying to run a GUI app as root, which is never a good idea anyway,
so that's not your real problem.

Go back to running LO as user, tell us the details of what happens
& hopefully someone wb able to help you make progress.

Hello Philip Webb,

Thank you for answer me, I know it is not good to run applications as root,
but I tried to see error logs.

When I try to run LibreOffice as normal user, I can see the splash (of
libreoffice) but nothing more... Cannot use any libreoffice application, it
just don't work, fas as I can see is the libreoffice splash. No errors (as
normal user), after the libreoffice splash it closes.

By the way, I've already checked Google, and none of those are my problem,
it just happen with LibreOffice, after a world update.

Is this when you click on the libreoffice icon, or are you opening a terminal window and running `/path/to/bin/libreoffice`?

The latter should (hopefully) output some error messages.

Stroller.

This happens when I click on the libreoffice icon, and as a normal user in a
terminal: libreoffice (no output) as root: ****
*GLib-GIO:ERROR:gdbusconnection.c:2279:initable_init: assertion failed:
(connection->initialization_error == NULL)*

By the way, as a normal user either root, it just show me the splash screen
of libreoffice, but, when it finish loading the splash bar, nothing happens,
it just closes... No outputs, no errors, nothing...

It might be GLIB? (I've reciently updated)

You are creating an extra error, that occurs before the point it was
previously failing, when you ru it as root. This error is useless and
basically translates to "Don't run me as root in a user session". The
error is there because there is no DBus session set up for root.

The frist step is to try rebuilding LO. Revdep-rebuild may not have shown
a problem, but since this occurred after a world update, that could still
be the cause.

I agree : make sure you start it from a command line in a user terminal
-- just forget all about running it as root -- 
& tell us if there are any error messages in the terminal,
eg warning that it can't find a particular library file.

But first, make sure you remerge LibreOffice: that often solves problems.

Hello, thank you for answer me.

Yes, running as root cause me that message.

Anyway, I reinstalled LibreOffice, and isn't working yet.

As I try to run as (normal) user -terminal-, does not show me any output, no
errors, no message.

Is there any log I can look for?

Isn't working yet, and I do not have any clue about what could cause me
this.

Regards

What happens when you run X as the root user? Do you get the same
error? That is, log into a regular system terminal, start X, and run
LO.

Do you also use the ~amd64 version of glib? What about downgradeing it
to the version you had before, should be worth a try and quicker than
rebuiding libreoffice on and on.

Hello Daniel Pielmeier,

Yes, I'm using ~amd64 version of glib, I tried to downgrade glib, but it
show me this error: *downgrading glibc is not supported and a sure way to
destruction.*
*
*
So, I'm searching a way to make a safe downgrade.

Any suggestion would be great.

Regards,

P.S. I did rebuild LibreOffice, but It's not working.

sys-libs/glibc != dev-libs/glib

It should be safe to downgrade dev-libs/glib.

/usr/bin/libreoffice is just a shell script, not a binary.  To capture the
full output you need to use the -f flag for strace (follow child processes).

I'm on ~amd64 and libreoffice works okay with glib-2.28.6 and dbus-glib-0.92.

You can try re-emerging dbus-glib if you haven't already done it.

This whole glib-dbus thing is a red herring. That error was caused by
trying to run LO as root, without an available dbus session. It has
nothing to do with the fact that LO won't run as a user.

Hello, This error: GLib-GIO:ERROR:gdbusconnection.c:2279:initable_init:
assertion failed

That is caused by trying to run libreoffice as root (from terminal) I know.

But, trying as a normal user, isn't working and I dont have any clue about
what is making this problem, there is no log or error to trace.

So, I've unistalled libreoffice, and installed again, but... Isn't working
yet... I'm not really sure what's this problem, since I don't have any clue
or any idea to trace this error.

Again, as I said before, I know that I can't run libreoffice as root (from
console), but I've tried as normal user, and clicking at the icon... And no
luck, no error, no logs, no trace, no clue.

Try strace this way (as normal user):

$strace -f -o outputfile /usr/bin/libreoffice

The -f flag allows strace to follow as the shell-script starts the real
binary executable.  Look through 'outputfile' for messages that look
fatal :)

Hello Walt, thank you for your answer

This is the paste: http://tinypaste.com/dde0e1

Maybe someone can help me... I'm looking right now for errors.

The trace clearly shows a segfault, which is what you would expect given how
the program behaves -- but I can't tell what's causing it.  Maybe someone else
can tell us.

I can suggest a few things to check, though.  I'd try moving or deleting your
~/.libreoffice directory to see if something in there is corrupted.  If LO
wants to import old settings from OO try saying no.

I notice you're using iced-tea for java.  Have you used java-config-2 to
make sure it's all set up correctly?  Note that the java settings in LO
need to be edited by hand if you change java versions :(Dumb, but doesn't
cause a segfault for me.)

Are you running python-3 instead of python-2?

Do you get the same segfault by running /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin
directly?

Good idea to create a new (ordinary) user account so you can try failing programs
with a completely fresh environment -- not at all the same as running something
as root, of course, and very safe if you use a strong password for the new user.

Out of ideas for the moment.

Hello Walt, thank you for your answer, after several days without
libreoffice working, you told me the answer,  I'd try deleting your
~/.libreoffice directory, after that, LibreOffice was working fine again.

Thank you...

Also it would be nice to know the cause of this problem.

Regards
