Hi,
OK; that was the clue. I already saw openjdk accessed in your strace but that's
the case also in normal startup if you have Java stuff.
Indeed, LOs Java stuff crash :(. Checked with "just" creating a database.
(which uses hsqldb.)
Downgrading _the kernel_ (and of course rebooting) fixes it.
No idea whether only LOs Java stuff is affected or more JDK usage (besides
#865311...), but...
Regards,
Rene
After removing the suspect LibreOffice extension, re-installing the
updates, and re-booting, it appears that LibreOffice starts without
problem.
So it indeed seems that something is not quite right in a dark corner of
Java libraries. So far, I have not stumbled on any critical function
that could be impaired by that incompatibility between the revised
kernel and Java, but it is still too early to tell. If anything, I will
report it.
Thanks for the speedy investigation.
Sincerely
E.Casais
