LibreOffice issue, I need it for work

It shouldnt ideally. But on my machines i dont need to run it as root for it to work. There are a few posts on other forums that you could try: https://superuser.com/questions/564534/only-root-user-is-able-to-open-libreoffice They more or less say the same thing. It looks like if you start libreoffice as root, it generates a config under the root user, then whenever it tries to load that config as a standard user, it fails (If your having the same problem).

Libreoffice not starting

Briefly describe your issue below: I ran full Parrot updates today. No Libreoffice apps will start now. I don’t know if this is due to the updates, or when the problem began. When I try to start any Libreoffice app, it shows up on the taskbar for a few seconds, and then disappears. Is there a logfile somewhere that I can pull to investigate? I have not asked Libreoffice support yet. thanks What version of Parrot are you running? (include version, edition, and architecture) 4.18.0-parrot10-amd64 What method did you use to install Parrot? (Debian Standard / Debian GTK / parrot-experimental) .iso Configured to multiboot with other systems? (yes / no) no If there are any similar issues or solutions, link to them below: If there are any error messages or relevant logs, post them below:

libreoffice issue (latest)

If there are any error messages or relevant logs, post them below:
“Final linking of kernel DynamicKernal failed” -or something like that. I unfortunately failed to note the EXACT message before I fixed it, but it’s close enough.

Firejail problem from my exp. Can you try run this command in terminal firejail --noprofile libreoffice?

Hello @happyoutkast

As @dmknght said, Its most probably a sandbox issue.

@dmknght

Can you try run this command in terminal firejail --noprofile libreoffice ?

Try this if the issue still persist, It may be a kernel compatibility issue as suggested by the (supposedly) name of the description of the error :

@happyoutkast

Final linking of kernel DynamicKernal failed

Let us know how it goes!
Cheers!
