Description of problem: Crashes during printing when printing to a cups network printer. This is due to the gtk3 incompatibilities or not ready for prime time. The following can be done in Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Version: 5.1.6.2.0+ Build ID: 5.1.6.2-1.fc24 CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Linux 4.8; UI Render: default; How reproducible: Everytime I upgrade libreoffice Steps to Reproduce: 1. install ibreoffice-gtk3 on any KDE or Cinnamon desktop 2. 3. Actual results: libreoffice crashes Expected results: Get a print dialog with the network printer that can be selected and print a document. Additional info: The following can be done in a terminal to get force gtk2 export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk soffice ... then print a document or remove forcibly libreoffice-gtk3 ignoring dependencies. rpm -e libreoffice-gtk3 --nodeps now it works! ------ This started for me in Fedora 23 and removing the libreoffice-gtk3 worked because core did not depend on this package. And in 24 it seems to work even though core depends on the package.
I wonder if you managed to enable "experimental features" at some point ? What is the setting for "tools->options->advanced->enable experimental features" ?
Yes I enabled the experimental features. This setting is covered in other user groups fairly well. When I ran libreoffice with the gtk3 package installed from the command prompt and tried printing, I get a GTK printing error Terminal output is (soffice:31719): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new_valist: invalid unclassed object pointer for value type 'GtkPrinter' (soffice:31719): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_printer_get_backend: assertion 'GTK_IS_PRINTER (printer)' failed (soffice:31719): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed Thank you for the quick response. joe
