Some puritine packaged apps don't open on some devices

adding Björn in case he might also have ideas how to debug.

@Chris/Björn - since neither of you have devices, but this works on n4/n7, can you outline some debug instructions for Victor's team to follow?

Default debug instructions (escalation order):
1/ start Libreoffice from shell
2/ start /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin directly
3/ strace /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin
4/ apt install libreoffice-dbg && gdb /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin

Could you please provide ~/.cache/upstart/application-legacy-puritine_libreoffice-startcenter_0.0-.log?

Please refer below;
https://pastebin.canonical.com/147503/

I think the important parts of the log are these:

[Java framework] Error in function createSettingsDocument (elements.cxx).
javaldx failed!
Warning: failed to read path from javaldx

Searching for those types of errors generally leads to permission problems on folders. However, I've been looking at the folders and the permissions look correct, so I'm still stumped.

Debugging continues...

As a temporary workaround, we need to disable seccomp when running proot. Still need to figure out why this is the case, but making a temporary fix in Libertine will take care of this.

awesome news. Which parts do we need to update to use this workaround?

I need to get a silo for Libertine and then get it in the overlay PPA and then it will be picked up in an image build.

ok, sounds good. can you be sure to email me a silo number when it's ready.

Silo 13 works for me.

So, with Silo 13 installed, I can open firefox and browse to www,.ubuntu.com (after seeing the mozilla welcome page). In Libreoffice I opened Impress, and created a new (blank) presentation. Edited a slide and then saved it to Documents.

I could then close libreoffice, re-open it and open the saved slide from the document picker it presented.

Given the workaround, is there anything specific to check?

This bug was fixed in the package libertine - 0.99.8+16.04.20160114.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
libertine (0.99.8+16.04.20160114.1-0ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  [ Chris Townsend ]
  * Various fixes for making LXC containers work.
  * Refactor libertine-launch to have no explicit dependencies on
    either the LXC or chroot backends. Move specific functions to
    their respective backends.
  * Refactor the discovery of the type of container being used, so
    it's taken care inside of the class.
  * Add new libertine-launch tests.
  * Allow LXC containers access to /dev/dri devices since some X apps
    like to talk to them directly.
  * Fix Depends so that the lxc backend will be installed by default
    if the kernel supports it. Otherwise, fall back to the chroot
    backend.
  * As a temporary fix, disable seccomp when running proot. Fixes
    incompatible kernels. (LP: #1532856, #1532858)

  [ Stephen M. Webb ]
  * libertine-container-manager: added list-apps command
  * python/libertine/AppDiscovery.py: new module for app discovery

  [ CI Train Bot ]
  * No-change rebuild.
