Description Lars-Erik 2020-10-12 08:39:15 UTC

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start LO
2.Wait
3.Crash

Actual Results:
LO restarts and ask for recovering a document, if any.

Expected Results:
LO restarts as usual.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
Here are some information on my hardware.

Version=7.1.0.0
BuildID=e0c1fdcab23dbd2b7a0a7227557d7afc41b49bd7
URL=https://crashreport.libreoffice.org/submit/

AdapterVendorId=NVIDIA Corporation

UseOpenGL=true

Linux 5.8.13-200.fc32.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Oct 1 21:49:42 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

My system Fedora 32, with the latest and greatest patches and the processor is a Intel Xeon E3-1230.

Have tested with OpenGL removed. It's the same result, dies after a while.
Comment 1 Xisco Faulí 2020-10-12 16:49:23 UTC
Does it work if you launch LibreOffice in safe mode? I do believe the crash might be related to skia

Linux edition doesn't use Skia? Or has this been changed in Master? 
Could also be profile corruption. Backend issue GEN/GTK3/KDE5

Some not matching binary?

And are talking about one of the Snap/flat/Appimage or a installed version?
Comment 3 Lars-Erik 2020-10-13 06:53:15 UTC
Safe mode does not prevent LO from crash, it dies. As I can see in
/home/leng/.config/libreofficedev/4/crash/dump.ini,
Fedora 32 does not use skia.

ProductName=LibreOffice
Version=7.1.0.0
BuildID=e0c1fdcab23dbd2b7a0a7227557d7afc41b49bd7
URL=https://crashreport.libreoffice.org/submit/
UseSkia=false
AdapterVendorId=NVIDIA Corporation
AdapterDeviceId=GeForce GTX 1060 3GB/PCIe/SSE2
UseOpenGL=true
Language=en-US
ShutDown=true

I have cleared the user profile many times and it does not help. My GUI is XFCE DeskTop. For now I am looking forward to Fedora 33 and will test the MATE-COMPIZ DeskTop.

I got it from the following ULR:

https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html
Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@86-TDF (rpm)
so it's an installed version. I have not tested the latest version, this version is one day after.
Hope that this will help you.

It's possible to use SKIA on Linux with these:
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen
SAL_ENABLESKIA=1
In my case, it'll use Skia/Vulkan.

You can also choose SAL_FORCESKIA=1
and SAL_SKIA with "raster" or "vulkan" value.
See vcl/README.vars
Comment 5 Julien Nabet 2020-10-13 20:19:50 UTC
I can't reproduce this since I use AMD/Radeon card.

Perhaps this https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=614d310751d1a32baec85c11637fb3813a9dd749 may help

disable VSync for Skia/Vulkan on Linux/nVidia
It causes freezes. This can be changed later to a blacklist of older
drivers once fixed drivers are actually available.

This can be anything. Please provide a backtrace of the crash (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Debug_Information#GNU.2FLinux:_How_to_get_a_backtrace).

Downloaded Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@86-TDF-dbg, 20-10-14, 5d9e330, and run a backtrace. Hope this will help you.
Comment 8 Luboš Luňák 2020-10-14 13:04:02 UTC
There's no actual backtrace in the output, you need to type the 'bt' command (item 5. in the howto).

Back trace generated with out debug information.

LO dies about 30 -40 seconds after it has been launched. You don't need to do anything.
Comment 10 Lars-Erik 2020-10-15 15:22:11 UTC
Hello!

I think the problem is connected with XFCE Desktop. During the afternoon I installed Fedora 33 (beta) and updated it. Now I'm run the Mate-Desktop and and LO 7.0.2.2 and nothing weird happens. It looks stable as far as I can see. I hope this will help you to further.
