OnlyOffice 9.2.1-43 crashes at startup on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS

Do you want to: Report a bug

For bug reports, provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem.

I just start the application, or via the terminal, or via the GUI.

OS version: Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
App version: 9.2.1-43

Downloaded from:
I followed the steps indicated on the website some months ago for Ubuntu Installing ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors on Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives and everything worked well.

Additional information:

I guess since a last update (not sure when it happened), the application started to fail at startup. If I launch it from the terminal, this is what I see:

christophe@Desktop:~$ desktopeditors

(DesktopEditors:19114): Gtk-WARNING **: 08:27:18.578: gtk_disable_setlocale() must be called before gtk_init()
QXcbConnection: XCB error: 8 (BadMatch), sequence: 750, resource id: 69206079, major code: 130 (Unknown), minor code: 3
QXcbConnection: XCB error: 8 (BadMatch), sequence: 766, resource id: 69206079, major code: 130 (Unknown), minor code: 3
Aborted (core dumped)

I tried to remove it (with and without purge) and install it again and same issue.

I also tried to change the default wayland to X11, but I didn’t see any change.

Thanks in advance for your help on this!

Hello @cdebussche

Usually such XCB error is caused by outdated video drivers. Can you check if there is any update available for video accelerator?

I didn’t see any update. Tried anyway to change to the recommended nvidia drivers, but still the same issue…

Would you mind reinstalling Desktop Editors? It’s better to use purge to make sure that no files are left behind.

Hi Constantine,

I just did the following:

sudo apt-get purge onlyoffice-desktopeditors
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt-get install onlyoffice-desktopeditors
onlyoffice-desktopeditors

And I have the following:

(DesktopEditors:27271): Gtk-WARNING **: 18:34:14.757: gtk_disable_setlocale() must be called before gtk_init()
libva error: vaGetDriverNames() failed with unknown libva error
QXcbConnection: XCB error: 8 (BadMatch), sequence: 750, resource id: 111149119, major code: 130 (Unknown), minor code: 3
QXcbConnection: XCB error: 8 (BadMatch), sequence: 766, resource id: 111149119, major code: 130 (Unknown), minor code: 3
Aborted (core dumped)

So no changes unfortunately…

Please share the output of echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE command.

Hey. I did and I have the following:
