When I start LO after installing it through welcome, the icon appears in the taskbar. There is brief tiny graphical information above it. (Appendix) That’s all. No window opens for Writer.
When I try to start LO in the console, the result is: command not found.
Yesterday I installed EOS and LO on another PC, and it worked.
it is very strange. I would be very happy about help
After a restart the console command works, but there is no window for LO
libre-office-fresh or still?
And do you add it to the panel or does it appear on its own?
libre-office-fresh on plasma
so it is not a general issue…
You are running plasma on wayland?
What shows it as installed:
yay -Qs office
- yes
- on its own
2.
~]$ yay -Qs office
local/libcdr 0.1.7-4
CorelDraw file format importer library for LibreOffice
local/libreoffice-fresh 7.4.1-2
LibreOffice branch which contains new features and program enhancements
local/libreoffice-fresh-de 7.4.1-1
German language pack for LibreOffice Fresh
local/libstaroffice 0.0.7-2
filter for old StarOffice documents(.sdc, .sdw, ...) based on librevenge
It gives an empty output.
But this command from ArchWiki was helpfull
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libfreetype.so libreoffice
javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment! Warning: failed to read path from javaldx
LO started in the console, and after closing it, not from starter
Should I install this?

My install/update action above did not help. LO does not start either with
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libfreetype.so libreoffice

Installiere bitte das dt. Sprachpaket nach:
yay -S libreoffice-fresh-i18n
Danach sollte es eigentlich gehen, lt. Doku im ArchWiki:
- In the past, the installation of at least 1 language pack was required. Currently, LibreOffice detects your system defaults and sets as locale setting; manual installation of a language pack is no longer mandatory, required only for localized user interface. See help.libreoffice.org for additional information.
Und auch:
Check the optional dependencies pacman displays. If you use HSQLDB Embedded in LibreOffice Base, you must install a Java Runtime Environment. You may need hsqldb2-javaAUR to use some modules in LibreOffice Base.
Last, not least:
Troubleshooting
A general way to track down problems is the safe mode in LibreOffice:
$ libreoffice --safe-mode
It is optional. Not related to your issue.
Then do as wiki says to enable and set this to gtk3
I can confirm i get the same when logging in under Wayland in plasma. I am also unable to load an image in the post as Firefox crashes.
Perhaps a way:
I did erase ~/.config/libreoffice
but you must do that every time
Check the output from terminal, when running the command with user-config in place.

MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
This is why i don’t bother with Wayland.

Understandable. It simply doesn’t play well with many hardware environments. When using it, be prepared for system-freezes and -breakdowns:

Can you check this as well?
I already removed plasma-wayland-session.
