LL6.0 Locks Up After Opening LibreOffice Writer - Larry Stehno - 06-18-2022
I installed LL6.0 on a Lenovo T61 Notebook. When I open LibreOffice Writer the O/S locks up and I have to reboot to get to the operating system again. Opening the Spreadsheet locks things up also. I would appreciate any fix for this problem.
Thanks,

Near the bottom end of their minimum specs, but should still work.
Have a look through:

Many of the threads I have read point to more of this kind of issue on older hardware.

Could try starting libreoffice from the terminal with different options.
A couple are probably worth trying to see if the cause crash/freeze under these modes.

I installed version 6.0.3.2 and works fine, for at least three years (might be more...), and I've changed LL versions from 4.0 up to the current (6.0. ).
Give it a try, might solve the trouble.
What is weird with LibreOffice, is that locking Linux Lite, is far from being a "piece-of-cake" kind of job... However, they managed to do it, as it looks to me...
Hope that this version, will work for you, too!
All the best!
