Description spavlatou 2023-02-08 23:31:02 UTC
Description:
today, all day, while i work on a doc, it suddenly crashes. First time that happened was after a few minutes. Second time it was immediatelly after i started working on the document. I have deleted and reinstalled the version 7.4.5, same thing happened. Then i turned to previous version of LibrOff 7.4.3 and same thing happened. I am currently downloading again the version 7.4.5 and will try to reinstall to see if that works. Of course after each crach all documents i have open are closed, and each time i load libroff they are recuperated only to crush again after a couple of minutes that the page is activated by me writting something. Also, the table borders do not work, i cannot decide which borders will be on. i do not know if that is connected, because in 4 out of 5 crushes i haven't used the borders option, only the first time. 
I hope all this helpfull!! 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open libreOffice writer
2.start adding text
3.crush

Actual Results:
simply start working on writer and after a couple of seconds it crushes .. there are no special steps. it just crushes

Expected Results:
it crushes. and crushed all open documents, not only the one currently working. each time the same thing.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
let me work on the document, let me save it when i finish it, and let me close the office application.

Please test in safe mode, Menu/Help/Restart in Safe Mode
Comment 2 spavlatou 2023-02-09 03:01:02 UTC
have reinstalled two more times, still crushing at the moment i try to work on it, even if i touch the scroller. At least now it runs ok on safe mode, before it didn't.

Could you give a try at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FirstSteps#Corrupted_user_profile ?
Comment 5 spavlatou 2023-02-09 14:32:16 UTC
Thank you, will try that
Comment 6 spavlatou 2023-02-09 15:03:20 UTC
I followed the steps in LOwiki, and i disabled first the Hardware accelaration. For now all is good, i can work on my files without them crushing!! if i have another incident, i will then move on to the second step that is restore/reset user profile.

I want to really thank you all for your time and effort!!! it is really reassuring that you respond quickly and effectively! thank you!
Comment 7 Julien Nabet 2023-02-09 16:46:34 UTC
If Skia related, did you check you got last version of your graphic driver?
If you still reproduce this (with hardware acceleration enabled), could you provide <user profile>/cache/skia.log ?
Comment 8 spavlatou 2023-02-09 18:10:53 UTC
yes i am updated to the bone! i enabled hardware accelerator and for now all runs smoothly. if it crushes again i will send you the user profil data you asked for.
Comment 9 Julien Nabet 2023-02-09 18:26:22 UTC
Ok let's put this one to WFM then.

If you reproduce this, don't hesitate to reopen this tracker.
Comment 10 spavlatou 2023-02-09 18:28:44 UTC
Done!! THANK YOU!!
Comment 11 spavlatou 2023-02-12 16:01:59 UTC
Hi. It crushed again. So i am in safe mode, with acceleration hardware deactivated. Where/how do i find the skia.log in order to send it to you?? (i am totally ignorant to all these, i just searched to understand what skia is and its role in LO). 
Thank you!

skia.log is in:
<user profile>/cache

For details about <user profile>, see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#Default_locations
Comment 13 spavlatou 2023-02-12 16:20:20 UTC
yes, i asked you because there is no Cache in the user section, however there is a cache file in uno_packages, that opens up to a Registry files and a new Uno_packages file, the latter is empty. The registry files open to some files which seem empty ..
com.sun.star.comp.deployment.bundle.PackageRegistryBackend x7.

Comment 15 spavlatou 2023-02-12 18:07:04 UTC

open terminal and type:

Comment 18 spavlatou 2023-02-12 20:05:02 UTC
