Did notice something in message log file.
If run libreoffice7.3 but don't try calc there is nothing,
but if try calc and it crashes the log has these lines??

 What I am about to say has no bearing on anything related to reality, but, this is what I had to 
do to make VMWare work on Fedora after I built my own  binaries. The likliehood that this will work 
for you is very small indeed. 

I think you will need to create a password for signing. I do not remember when, but, just think of 
a password and write it down or something. 

(1) Generate a key, but do NOT use CN=VMware, use something like CN=LibreOffice
openssl req -new -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout MOK.priv -outform DER -out MOK.der -nodes -days 
36500 -subj "/CN=VMware/"

(2) Import said key
mokutil --import MOK.der

(3) Sign the file of importance. In my case it was vmmon and vmnet (I ran this twice) for oyu it is 
probably soffice.bin
/usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)/scripts/sign-file sha256 ./MOK.priv ./MOK.der $(modinfo -n vmmon)

Will this work? Probably not. If you are using Fedora, why not just use the version in the repo? 

I only mention all this because if it were me I would try it, but I am on Fedora 35 now and I am 
using the version from the fedora repo.
