Unfortunately I removed the archive version of LO and installed the snap version, which is not exhibiting the problem, because I need to be able to edit documents; I can therefore no longer replicate the bug. But pleasingly it looks as though Jani can, so I'll leave it in their hands.

Starting from a terminal with just "libreoffice", I see the "general open a document" libreoffice window and a popup dialog titled "LibreOffice 6.0 Document Recovery", with text "Due to an unexpected error, LibreOffice crashed. All the files you were working on will now be saved. The next time LibreOffice is launched, your files will be recovered automatically. The following files will be recovered:" (and no files to be recovered are listed). Clicking "OK" on this dialog hides it and the general window, and then shows them both again; clicking OK on that dialog exits. LibreOffice does not start. Running "libreoffice --norestore" gives a stack trace: $ libreoffice --norestore Application Error Fatal exception: Signal 6 Stack: /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libuno_sal.so.3(+0x13568)[0x7fa00e2c8568] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libuno_sal.so.3(+0x3c3c6)[0x7fa00e2f13c6] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x3ef20)[0x7fa00df02f20] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(gsignal+0xc7)[0x7fa00df02e97] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(abort+0x141)[0x7fa00df04801] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so(+0x2d5b562)[0x7fa01126a562] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so(_ZN11Application5AbortERKN3rtl8OUStringE+0xa2)[0x7fa0111f61c2] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so(+0x1d0d580)[0x7fa01021c580] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so(+0x2cecb6d)[0x7fa0111fbb6d] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libuno_sal.so.3(+0x163b2)[0x7fa00e2cb3b2] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libuno_sal.so.3(+0x3c28f)[0x7fa00e2f128f] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x3ef20)[0x7fa00df02f20] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x18e5a1)[0x7fa00e0525a1] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0(g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml+0x124)[0x7fa00c0e7aa4] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so(+0x2d6972b)[0x7fa01127872b] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0(+0xc9156)[0x7fa00c0dd156] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0(+0xc9398)[0x7fa00c0dd398] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0(+0x8d143)[0x7fa00c0a1143] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0(+0x8db66)[0x7fa00c0a1b66] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0(+0xc0fc2)[0x7fa00c0d4fc2] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0(+0x8d143)[0x7fa00c0a1143] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0(+0x8d179)[0x7fa00c0a1179] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0(g_main_context_dispatch+0x155)[0x7fa00baf60f5] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0(+0x4c4c0)[0x7fa00baf64c0] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0(g_main_context_iteration+0x2c)[0x7fa00baf654c] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libvclplug_gtk3lo.so(+0x414d4)[0x7f9ff8b524d4] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so(_ZN11Application5YieldEv+0x2e)[0x7fa0111f68ce] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so(_ZN11Application7ExecuteEv+0x45)[0x7fa0111f8075] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so(+0x1d12fa3)[0x7fa010221fa3] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so(+0x2cee756)[0x7fa0111fd756] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so(_Z6SVMainv+0x30)[0x7fa0111fd860] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libmergedlo.so(soffice_main+0x115)[0x7fa0102430c5] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin(+0x78b)[0x55dd01f4578b] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe7)[0x7fa00dee5b97] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin(+0x7ca)[0x55dd01f457ca] I have tried entirely removing my profile, ~/.config/libreoffice , but the same problem still exhibits.
