LOwriter freezes in specific account

Try renaming the libreoffice config folder, then re-opening

I imagine that you are talking about the .config/libreoffice folder.

I have done that already. It does not change anything.

Try launching it from the terminal. The output may be useful.

how do I open a LO document from the terminal?

libreoffice --writer

Will run Writer

Thanks for your answer.

In the meanwhile I have been working on the problem as it avoided me to
use my computer (a part of my LO files).

When I copied the same file to another account within the same computer
(tested two accounts), the file opened easily (and also other LO files
that gave problems). Than I shared the original file in my account that
gave the problem. I opened the shared file without problem.
So the same LO file that freezes in my account, opens without problem in
another account.
I have concluded that it is related to my account (ubuntu account).
Where I can not tell.

So I have created a new account and copied all my files to this account.
Changed ownership and group with chown. Everything is working again.
Also the LO files that gave problems are running fine.

So far, so good. But it does not diagnose the problem.

The old account still exists as it was and I can do some tests with it
What I would like to know is how I open a specific LO file with writer
from the terminal to share the messages with you on the forum.
(Is this useful?)

I have launched LO writer in the terminal in the account with a problem
and opened one of the LO files that freezes LO.

below the result:

aart@Haarlem:~$ libreoffice -writer

Afterwards I logged in into my new account and opened LO in the terminal
also.
Below the result of this action:

europar@Haarlem:~$ libreoffice --writer

the Java issue has been solved by installing Open JDK Java 7 Runtime

The initial problem still exists (did the tests in the different accounts again).
The same behaviour.
