I have LibreOffice5 installed on Debian Stretch on an Asus EeePC notebook which uses an Atom N455 processor.
All the LibreOffice modules seem to work fine except for Writer. When I try to launch Writer it begins loading and a banner saying "LibreOffice 5" appears across the middle of the screen for several seconds, as would be normal. There's a line at the bottom of the banner which progresses across to demonstrate that the program is loading until the line is all the way across, at which point the banner disappears but the word processor never appears. ps shows that two processes are left running: "oosplash --writer" and "soffice.bin --writer --splash-pipe=5" This same problem occurred before I upgraded to Stretch from Jessie. I have several desktop computers with other processors on which Writer does not have this problem. I'm wondering if this is a known issue. I've not been able to discover anything on this.
