[Qubes 4.0/Debian 9] LibreOffice 6.2.3 doesn't start

[schwoe...@gmail.com]

Hello everyone !

I uninstalled an old version of LibreOffice (I did sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice*) to put the latest version (6.2.3) on the Debian 9 template but it is impossible for me to run LibreOffice, nothing is happening. I tried to install another version, but it doesn't work.

I use Qubes 4.0 on a SanDisk Extreme Pro 256gb USB 3.1 key
Any solutions?

Thank you in advance
Axel

Roll your template back to the earlier version
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/software-update-vm/#reverting-changes-to-a-templatevm,
or reinstall/restore the template and try again after cloning first.

Since 6.2 is only available in "experimental" Debian, I'm
assuming you used the deb packages from libreoffice.
These instal the binaries under /opt with links under /usr/local/bin

This works in the template, but not in appVMs because /usr/local is
mounted from /rw/usrlocal in Template Based qubes.

In the appVM create the links yourself in /usr/local/bin - at a minimum:
sudo ln -s /opt/libreoffice6.2/program/soffice libreoffice6.2

That will enable the "libreoffice 6.2" menu item for the launcher.

If you want other menu items then you'll have to create relevant links
yourself.
