Libre office calc crashed

[skippylou]

It has become corrupted and unusable. How to I reload it?

Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS

[currentshaft]

How did you install it? apt, Flatpak, snap?

What happens exactly when you launch it?

Came installed with the OS when I bought the computer. Nothing happens when I launch.

It came with the OS is not what currentshaft wanted, is it a snap, .deb, flatpak?
If it's a .deb:

sudo apt install --reinstall libreoffice

apt policy libreoffice-common
libreoffice-common:
  Installed: 4:24.2.5-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 4:24.2.5-0ubuntu1

I don't do snaps so this is a mute point, but flatpak

flatpak info org.libreoffice.LibreOffice
error: org.libreoffice.LibreOffice/*unspecified*/*unspecified* not installed

If your still having problems then show us this:

libreoffice

[deadflowr]

Try moving or removing the user configuration folder
located at ~/.config/libreoffice

You can either try deleting it outright or simply try to rename it. Any name other than libreoffice will do, really.
Either way after that when you launch or try to launch a new instance it'll generate a fresh configuration.

[skippylou]

sudo apt install --reinstall libreoffice

This goes through an installation process but calc still doesn't work

I can't find ~/.config/libreoffice

.config is a hidden folder so enable show hidden folders (ctrl + h)

Focal huh? are you on ESM "Expanded Security Maintenance (extra 5 years)" if not your no longer supported.
Or Legacy support (years 11 and 12)
But give this a try:

rm -rf ~/.config/libreoffice

Now launch it again

[deadflowr]

Focal support ends next year.
