Hi everyone,

I just emerged app-office/libreoffice-bin 6.3.4.2-r1 on a fresh gentoo install (using genkernel) and I've noticed that Libreoffice's toolbar menu (e.g., at the top where it should say File, Edit, Tools, Help, etc.) is completely missing. The space for a toolbar is there, right above where the Libreoffice icons are, but all the toolbar option are missing.

When I Google'd, others had run into a similar issue due to OpenGL problems. I tried running Libreoffice in safe-mode (e.g., $ soffice --safe-mode) to turn off the OpenGL option but it doesn't bring back the missing toolbar.

Any ideas?


Thanks.

Hi there,

Have you tried starting the application with something like:

Code:
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen libreoffice


or

Code:
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk libreoffice


?

Cheers,
Nathan Zachary

NathanZachary! Both work! However, the second visually looks nicer. Thank you so much!

I'll mark this thread as solved. But should I add something to the wiki?


Kind Regards.
