[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Jani Uusitalo (uusijani)]

LO 1:6.0.6-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 in Bionic is likewise affected, and the workaround also works here.

[Marien Grashoff (marien-9)]

On KDE neon 5.14 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) LO 6.0.6 produces the same error, after updates. I cannot recall what exactly was updated. Workaround (removing libreoffice-gtk3) does not help since the desktop is KDE.

[Josef Hopfgartner (josef-netzagentur)]

This bug has been fixed with
libreoffice-gtk3:amd64 1:6.1.2-0ubuntu1.1
which replaced
libreoffice-gtk3:amd64 1:6.1.2-0ubuntu1

[Marien Grashoff (marien-9)]

@Josef Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately LO 6.1 is not in the default Bionic repositories. So I installed the PPA for LO 6.1, completely removed anything LO 6.0, including my profile, and then installed 6.1 (and 6.1 modules ONLY, nothing else). However, even though I did not install the GTK3 modules, but only the KDE module, I still get the same error. LO persistently wants to restore lost documents which do not exist and consequently fails to start. Also, using the libreoffice -- norestore command from a terminal, LO just does not start.

This is the stack output:

If I can be of any help tracing the problem, please give me some instructions.

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

@Marien: yours is a different stack trace than the one originally reported here. Would you mind filing a separate bug report (mention this one)?
