I'm running LR6 on Mac OS 10.14.6
Beginning in late November (2020), my LR6 application starts to open and initially displays my catalog, but immediately crashes. I have spent considerable time with Adobe online help via remote sharing sessions to remove all traces of previous Adobe installations and reinstall LR6. Attached is a text file of the resulting error report.
Thanks in advance!

The first thing that you should try is to switch off the GPU support from the Lightroom preferences and check if that helps to fix the issue.
Go to Lightroom > Preferences > Performance tab > Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" > Restart Lightroom.

Another step is to try to reset the Lightroom preferences.

Try to create a new catalog with a few pictures and check.
Another try is to create a new user account and check LR within this account.
What has been changed on your system before the error occur?

Thank you Axel Matt! Per Bob Somrak's suggesttion, I manually set the system clock to Oct 31 2020. I was then able to start LR, and it stayed open ... long enough to finally be able to switch off the GPU support. I restored the system time and LR now seems to be running normally!
I am very grateful for your help!
Thanks again,
Rick
