Description: Using Insert | Frame | Frame | Macro tab or Tools | Macro in both cases crash appears Steps to Reproduce: On Ubuntu 16.04 on 32-bit old laptop I have installed LibreOffice 6.0.0.3 from ppa: http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu In Writer: 1. Menu Insert | Frame | Frame. 2. Click on Macro tab and LibreOffice crashes. Don't know if this is related, but crash also appears: 1. Menu Tools | Macro | Run Macro and crash appears. Actual Results: Crash. Expected Results: No crash. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: [Information automatically included from LibreOffice] Locale: en-US Module: TextDocument [Information guessed from browser] OS: Linux (All) OS is 64bit: no Version: 6.0.0.3 Build ID: 1:6.0.0~rc3-0ubuntu0.16.04.1~lo7 CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 4.13; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; Locale: sl-SI (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0
I can't reproduce it in Version: 6.0.0.3 Build ID: 1:6.0.0~rc3-0ubuntu0.16.04.1~lo7 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.13; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: ca-ES (ca_ES.UTF-8); Calc: group To be certain the reported issue is not related to corruption in the user profile, could you please reset your Libreoffice profile ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) and re-test? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present OTOH, could it be related to bug 108619 ?
@Xisco, I closed down LibreOffice and deleted the profile directory: rm -rf ~/.config/libreoffice/ Restarted LibreOffice, repeated the steps (both cases) and crash in both of them. Actually it is something strange it is not classical crash, because there is no crash window. LibreOffice just closes down like it would be minimized, but when restarting LibreOffice then document recovery window opens.
I have checked the bug 108619, it is little bit too technical for me. But I have noticed there is some discussion about Java. It looks like LibreOffice is using Java to run macros (I didn't know this before). Maybe my problem is related to Java. Few days ago I was required to install Oracle Java for one of the application (made by government for taxes). Few days ago I did (I see from 'history' command): sudo apt update && sudo apt -y full-upgrade sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-8-oracle To test if above is cause for the problems today I did: 1. Removed Oracle Java and installed default one sudo apt purge oracle-java8-installer sudo apt -y autoremove sudo apt install default-jre sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.8.0-openjdk-i386 2. I removed LibreOffice profile rm -rf ~/.config/libreoffice/ 3. Started LibreOffice and checked how it is seen by ps command: ps aux | grep -i [l]ibreoffice user1 18594 0.2 0.1 35252 5184 ? Sl 10:29 0:00 /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/oosplash --writer user1 18620 29.5 3.7 276944 115324 ? Rl 10:29 0:02 /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin --writer --splash-pipe=5 4. Retested and the same problem. LibreOffice just closes down without any crash info or anything. It just feels like app would be minimized. Repeating ps command from step 3 and it displays nothing. It may be some Java problem or something, but no matter what, LibreOffice crash should be more informative, to catch at least some of the info, in order to easily debug the problem.
Could you please try what it's mentioned in comment 16 https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108619#c16 ?
@Xisco, I tried your suggestion: Tools | Options | LibreOffice | Advance | unchecked "Use a Java runtime environment". Now when I select menu Tools | Macro | Run Macro I get: "LibreOffice requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this task. However, use of a JRE has been disabled. Do you want to enable the use of a JRE now?" and LibreOffice does not crashes which is OK, but still using macro is probably useless in my case now, isn't it, because Java is required. By the way today LibreOffice PPA for Ubuntu has updated to LibreOffice 6.0.1, but problem is exactly the same as in previous 6.0.0.3 version.

Sounds the same as this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1699772 Read the latest comments, it has been solved with a custom kernel build. Also: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/120447/libreoffice-base-crashes-on-32bit-linux/
