            Bug ID: 126440
           Summary: LibreOffice v.6.2.x series will not install properly
                    on Mageia Linux v.7
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.5.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Installation
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
I downloaded the latest LibreOffice v.6.2.x rpm version of LibreOffice from the
download page to my Mageia v.7 distro. For some reason, the LibreOffice v.6.2.x
versions seem to install properly, but when I try to start the program, only
the initial LibreOffice splash logo appears and then it fails to open
LibreOffice. I have reported this to the Mageia devs who say that they have the
v.6.2.3 version working on the Mageia rpm package manager.

However, I usually install the latest bleeding edge versions of LibreOffice so
that I may report any issues should any arise in my daily uses. I use Mageia
Linux exclusively on my production desktop.

I wonder if you could take a look at my strace log and see if you can spot
where there is an issue. I wonder if any other Linux distro may be having the
same issue.

Note also, that I have tested the installation of the v.6.1.x rpm versions from
the LibreOffice download page and they install and work as expected. So,
something in v.6.2.x was introduced that make the v.6.2.x series not work on
the latest Mageia v.7 distro.



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have the latest Mageia v.7 installed
2. Download latest rpm packages from the LibreOffice Download page
3. Install rpm package as per usual
4. Start LibreOffice
5. Only the splash page shows
6. LibreOffice fails

Actual Results:
I will attach my strace log.

Expected Results:
After the installation, LibreOffice should start as per usual.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes
