@cme_linux : sounds like a right mess with your different installations...

LinuxMint 18.3 is pretty old right now. Ubuntu Focal Fossa is already out, I
upgraded my previous Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 this week and it appears to be
mostly working fine. Actually the first time in years when an Ubuntu upgrade
didn't force me into recovery mode to get it restarted ;-)


With regard to the LO Base problem, my first thought would be to completely
"purge" everything related to LO, and start afresh.

PPA versions are well known for bringing additional bugs to the already known
Base bugs.

I can't speak for Flatpak versions as I've never installed one.

I currently use Snaps for testing newer versions over the current distrib
release version (bearing in mind that they have their own limitations), and in
the past have also installed LO packages from the TDF download site to have the
latest versions available in parallel.

Given the age of Mint18, I would also check on their bug/forum web page to see
if anyone else has encountered the same problem as you. 

I recall, for example, a period in time not so long ago where a particular
kernel version caused Base to crash immediately on start. Could be that we are
back there again with your current setup ?
