Freshly installed Linux Mint 17.3 on new Lenovo G50 AMD A8 laptop. Worked fine for 3 days. Then, when I open a calc document (even a new calc document), whole Linux Mint crashes. It happened with writer also, but stopped after reinstalling Linux Mint.
You can try to retrieve a backtrace by using this link: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Debug_Information#GNU.2FLinux:_How_to_get_a_backtrace Also, you may give a try to last stable version 5.1.3.
Created attachment 125254 [details] Backtrace file as requested
Had tried reinstalling 5.1.3 before reinstalling Linux Mint.
For what it is worth, here is the information that flashes briefly after the crash and before the login window is seen: Linux mint rosa anirudha-lenovo-G50-45 tty1 anirudha-lenovo-G50-45 login Then, this other message flashes: Restoring resolver state Thought I should mention this as I found it not mentioned in the backtrace document.
Badfully, there's no backtrace in the gdb file you attached. Would there be anything relevant in console logs if you launch LO from console?
Someone was experiencing a system crash with Linux Mint recently (bug 100076). I made these suggestions, they're worth a try: "Is this option checked? Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> View -> Use OpenGL for all rendering If so, try if the crash happens when it's unchecked. If that doesn't help, uncheck Use hardware acceleration. It might also be worth giving the current, 5.1.3.2 version a try. Here are the steps to install it separately from your existing version: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/Linux Basically both of these suggestions are to check whether OpenGL acceleration has anything to do with the crash." However, as it was reported back, in their system "Use OpenGL for all rendering" was unchecked, and actually checking it solved the issue.
Brilliant. Checking both Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> View -> Use OpenGL for all rendeandring AND Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> View -> Force OpenGL even if Blacklisted worked for me. Welcome back LinuxMint. Don't feel so good about using blacklisted stuff. Hopefully, it is only technical, and not legal blacklisting. The linux community should find better names. But still, nice to be back. Will report any errors if I face them - should face them right, given the blacklisting. (Sorry for the delay - had switched to windows to get some work done). Anirudha
I'm not sure how blacklisting works in Linux, but in Windows it's purely technical based on vendors, models and driver versions that exhibited issues that didn't seem to be caused by LibreOffice. It's not exact science. However, it would be very helpful if you could check whether the most recent 5.1.3.2 release still crashes with the default settings. If it did, that would be an indicator that this issue needs further attention.
