Description Christian Haunert 2021-11-20 09:14:09 UTC
Description:
Running on Kubuntu 21.10 the Libreoffice Main Programm and Writer crash on the attempt to insert a jpeg file and they crash repeatedly afterwards. Starting in secure mode and deaktivating user add-ons changed nothing for that error to happen.

Comment 1 Julien Nabet 2021-11-20 09:21:53 UTC
First could you try this:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Debug_Information#GNU.2FLinux:_How_to_get_a_backtrace
?

Then could you try this to know if it's specific to kfe:
- open a term/console
- export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen
- soffice --writer
- open dialogue to insert a graphic file
- wait up to 5 seconds
?

Finally, would it be possible you attach a backtrace ? (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Debug_Information#GNU.2FLinux:_How_to_get_a_backtrace)

Cannot reproduce with a current master build on Debian testing in a Plasma Wayland session. This works fine:

* start Writer
* "Insert" -> "Image"
* select an image

Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha1+ / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 96d19777abfdf74c9776470e39ee3ec7e1b2e256
CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 5.14; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+wayland)
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Can you try the steps that Julien suggested in comment 1 to see whether it also happens when using the gen VCL plugin?

Also, can you try starting LO with environment variable QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb set, which will force the use of the X11 Qt platform plugin instead of the Wayland one? Alternatively, you can use a Plasma X11 instead of a Wayland session and start LibreOffice there. (Please double-check that "Help" -> "About LibreOffice" contains "VCL:kf5 (cairo+xcb)" instead of "VCL:kf5 (cairo+wayland)" then)
