Unable to start onlyoffice

Ask Fedora
1

After adding the repo and installing the software, when I try running it through the command “desktopeditors”, the following message is displayed (I have absolutely no idea what any of it means). I have also tried installing it from the RPM package but the same problem happens. I’m running on Fedora 41 GNOME with Wayland.

$ desktopeditors

(DesktopEditors:59967): GLib-CRITICAL **: 14:38:13.642: g_atomic_ref_count_dec: assertion 'old_value > 0' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Please help :slight_smile:

Where did you install onlyoffice from?
I do not see that in Fedora repos, many be I looked for the wrong name?

as for the crashing program, I would get in touch with the developers and file a bug report: https://forum.onlyoffice.com/. Also note that they offer their rpm for RHEL and CentOS, which does not necessarily work on Fedora.

In the meantime, you can install as flatpak package from flathub: Install ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors on Linux | Flathub

I added the onlyoffice repo:

sudo dnf install https://download.onlyoffice.com/repo/centos/main/noarch/onlyoffice-repo.noarch.rpm

sudo dnf install onlyoffice-desktopeditors

as mentioned here.

Yes, but this is repo is for CentOS/RHEL. Fedora may not ship the required libraries or required versions.
You could ask onlyoffice devs to build an rpm for Fedora, or you just use the flatpak.

I downloaded the flatpak version and it works well.
