LibreOffice writer Crashes on Start
Solution 1:
I had the same issue on Arch linux (32bit xfce) https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=227597
I've managed to solve it by turning off Java in Libreoffice>
First, start Libreoffice, click on Tools, click on options and under Libreoffice section click on Advanced. Deselect "Use a Java runtime environment" and problem solved.
I don't think this a good solution, but considering I don't use Java in Libreoffice it's good enough for me.
