Description Hagar Delest 2024-12-30 10:17:10 UTC
Description:
I used to apply the SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen setting so that LO appears with the light gray interface (toolbars and menus) instead of using the dark theme of the desktop environment. See that topic for screenshots with then gen VCL and without: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27216.
However, in LMDE Faye (Cinnamon), when I use this (with this command line: env SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen /opt/libreoffice24.8/program/soffice), then at the following LO start, there is crash warning asking for a report to be sent. However, the application works fine, did work fine with no hint that something went wrong.
Note: LO was installed with the debs from the TDF site after removing the default 7.4 version from the LMDE repos.
Will attach a trace of the output from terminal. There is indeed some kind of issue with following end of trace: +++ exited with 139 +++ instead of +++ exited with 0 +++
The issue occurs after having opened at least one file.

Note: works fine with Xubuntu. Thus, the issue seems to come from an interaction between LO and Cinnamon/LMDE.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch LO with env SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen /opt/libreoffice24.8/program/soffice
2. Open a file (no need to modify it)
3. Close LO
4. Launch LO again

Actual Results:
Warning dialog asking to send a crash report.

Expected Results:
No warning at all.


Reproducible: Always

3 parts in the trace:
1. Launch with the VCL=gen setting and opening a file then closing. Leads to the issue at following start (see exit code at the end of that part).
2. Launch with the VCL=gen setting, giving the warning dialog about the crash of the previous session, no file opened, no issue afterward.
3. Standard launch with no VCL set.
