Within the last couple of days an update is causing LibreOffice to
crash. When I click on the icon, recovery mode comes up, but there is
no file to recover, and when I click "OK" the Logo comes up briefly

"Application error".
I have tried reinstalling but get the same "Application error" when I
attempt to run it from the command line.
Any thoughts?
My first try would be to move ~/.config/libreoffice to a temporary
location and try again.
Tried that, and the same problem occurs.
Uh, try "libreoffice --writer --norestore" so it tries to bring up
the word processor but doesn't try to restore on a fatal error? Check
the logs, too ("journalctl | grep libreoffice" for example).

Thanks Rick,
Tried the "libreoffice --writer --nostore" command and got:
That should have been "--norestore", not "--nostore"
Application Error
Fatal exception: Signal 6
Hmmm, a SIGABRT. Weird.
I assume you don't want to see all the stack info.
I have checked the logs as you suggested, and there is some material
there, but I do not know how to interpret it. I assume you don't want to
see the grep output here.
Uhm, no, don't post them here. You could stick them in pastebin or
something and post a link to it here. Those interested (and smarter than
I) could then look at it.
I have submitted bug reports to bugzilla.
Good. I suspect they'll report "cannot duplicate", but who knows?
Thanks very much for the time and attention.
It's annoying, I know. I had issues where documents written with
LibreOffice and exported from it to Word format couldn't be re-imported
by LibreOffice. Never did get that sorted. Had to open them with Word
on a Mac, then save them, then copy them back to the Linux machine. THEN
they could be re-imported. Absolutely looney.

Thanks to all who responded. The latest update to the Kernel seems to
have solved the LibreOffice problem. Everything is back to what it was.
Have no idea what kernel changes brought the fix about, but glad it is
working.
Thanks again, for the time and attention.
cheers, Paul
