Hi all!
In case any one matters this, I've managed to nail (and solve) the problem.
1. Executing 'lowriter --norestore' produced a SIGSEV, yay! At least I had something to begin with.
2. Next I executed 'lowriter --norestore --backtrace' and got a log from gdb.
3. In that log I got this :
"Thread 1 "soffice.bin" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0xa4bdbf70 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libjavaloaderlo.so
#0 0xa4bdbf70 in () at /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libjavaloaderlo.so
#1 0xa4bd88d0 in () at /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libjavaloaderlo.so
#2 0xbeffdcec in ()"
4. Then I remember I installed 'plantuml' that needs Java JRE, so I removed plantuml like this: "sudo pacman -Rns plantuml" , that pulled out of my system the Java JRE dependencies it needed.
5. Tried libreoffice writer and it worked!!!
6. Reinstalled plantuml again, but when asked which JRE to use I went with JRE8 instead of the latest (JRE14 I think).
7. Tried libreoffice writer and it still worked!!!
So thats my take, hope that it will be useful to everyone who could have this same problem.
