Description spike.johnson 2018-12-02 18:46:52 UTC
This bug was filed from the crash reporting server and is br-0c9a63aa-51c8-4ab9-9b41-e0ac3a27bc65.
=========================================
Unable to create any Firebase databases, due to endless recovery loop.
I've attached a sample database that fails.

I'm sorry that I am not sure how I got into this position; I was playing with Base, trying to convert a very large Calc sheet into a data driven application.

I've rebooted a number of times to clear locks - no change.

I've deleted the entire folder I was using and created a new one - no change.

I've used the trace to see if I could get more information, but my knowledge runs out when I get to WIN32 Critical_Sections (on Win 64-bit?)

Created attachment 147234 [details]
empty Firebird db that crashes upon connection

Apologies, thought I'd already attached the db.

Open and click on Tables or anything that initiates a db connection.

please add more clear steps for reproduction of your problem

I tried to open file from attach and didn't get crash in

Comment 5 spike.johnson 2018-12-05 13:14:38 UTC
I downloaded the attachment again into a new folder just to make sure I am using the same file as you, and it crashes as soon as I click on 'Tables'.

Ok, if it works ok for you then it is not the file as such that is the problem, but presumably I've managed somehow to break my installation of Base, or possibly Firebird.

Any suggestion on how I set about investigating?

I'll try a cold boot and then re-install LO as the first two attempts.
Comment 6 Xisco Faulí 2018-12-05 13:15:51 UTC
Could you please try to reproduce it with a master build from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ ?
You can install it alongside the standard version.
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the master build
Comment 7 spike.johnson 2018-12-05 13:47:22 UTC
A cold reboot, and a 'repair' install did not help.

I think it might be a permissions problem.

Starting LO 'as Administrator' allows me to open the file without any crashes.

My default user is mostly locked down; I have access to a local Admin user if I need to install software.

So although I install LO starting from my base user, the MSI prompts for the Admin user as soon as it starts installing.

Using embedded HS works fine; it is only embedded FB that has an issue with this set up.

I'm working from within my base 'user' folder structure - providing that FB embedded only uses files within that area then it should have full permissions to do anything it wants.

Does FB embedded try to unzip the odb somewhere other than the current directory?

Is there a debug mode or log file anywhere?

I'll try the daily build.
Comment 8 spike.johnson 2018-12-05 19:11:26 UTC
Nightly installer wants to update something in the system that requires a restart.

This is unusual behaviour for an application installer, so I won't be installing it just yet.

I'm trying to work out how I can see whether the FB backup file is restored to the current directory or somewhere else.

Even if you don't restart you computer, you can use LibreOffice master...
