    cannot run LibreOffice on Kali Linux

    I have installed Kali Linux 2018.4 on my physical machine. I installed LibreOffice via the following link:
    https://libre-software.net/how-to-in...tu-linux-mint/

    But I get the following error while I want to run the libreoffice:

    Dec 12 14:59:56 mysystem kernel: [ 4923.116769] traps: soffice.bin[5526] trap invalid opcode ip:7f0ba807008a sp:7f0ba0c8e670 error:0 in DynamicKernel.so[7f0ba8070000+1000]

    I also upgraded the version to 2019.1, and purged the libreoffice and all its related files and then reinstalled it but nothing's changed.
    The strange thing is that I installed Kali 2018.4 on a virtual machine and installed LibreOffice as the above link said, and it is working properly!
    Any help is appreciated.

    Why not use the libreoffice from the repositories? 6.1.3 is available there and it runs just fine.

    I also used the official repository from Kali website:
    https://www.kali.org/news/kali-linux-2018-4-release/

    `deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib`

    but I get the same error!

    The Kali version is now 2019.1. I cannot find any specific repository for this release!!
    Is there any specific repository for this release or I should use the 2018.4 ones?

    I installed libreoffice on kali (up to date) without adding any repositories. There was no issue whatsoever.

    apt install libreoffice

    I get the above errors even if I launch the libreoffice from application launcher. I also launched libreoffice with a non root user, but the same errors.

    Do you install Kali on a physical machine or VPS?
    I installed Kali on a VirtualBox VM and then installed libreoffice and everything went well. But I have this issue on my physical machine.

    Have you looked up any of those messages in google?

    Have you reinstalled Kali on your physical machine since adding repos might have messed up the system or added stuff.
    AppArmor might be in complain mode, no biggie on that side. You can check status with apparmor_status command. For the others, you'll have to look up yourself. And ONLY if you don't find any explanation, ask specifically about individual messages.

    Yeah, I googled about the errors, but none of them solved the problem.
    I finally installed OpenOffice and it is working properly!
    Thanks.
