Details

Description:
libreoffice-fresh crashes, and tries to recover file I tried to open. Loops.

$ libreoffice
process 12608: arguments to dbus_message_iter_append_basic() were incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_utf8 (*string_p)" failed in file dbus-message.c line 2754.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
Application Error


Additional info:
* package version(s)
$ libreoffice --version
LibreOffice 5.4.1.2.0 40m0(Build:2)
* config and/or log files etc.
Look above, please. Let me know if there is additional info can be gathered somewhere.


Steps to reproduce:
I've tried to open some file, and it's restarting and asks me if I'm willing to recover file I've just tried to open.
This task depends upon

Also, there is an "workaround".
If I launch
$ libreoffice
in console, it may not fail, and allows discard recovery process.
After that I can open the same file with Open file dialog.

Looks like an issue with your desktop and used vcl.

Sorry, What do you mean by "vcl"?
Apache VCL? Or something different?

So, I've uncommented
export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=kde4
in /etc/profile.d/libreoffice-fresh.sh file
and rebooted after upgrade.
Now all is fine, as I can see.
Workaround is ok, issue can be closed.
May I reopen it if there still will be (related) problems?
