Description skimble04 2010-12-11 02:46:39 UTC
When attempting to open the 'open document folder' gui, it crashes with a sigserv of 11 but no backtrace, which apperas to be turned off. The usage of the cpu then climbs until its all being used by a swriter instance and has to be killed off manually to regain control of the machine. Being unable to open any files is a real show stopper!

This is on CentOS 5.5 currently up to date.

Without more information, I fear we can't help here.
Please read:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport

And submit the gdb backtrace.

I am using KDE, and it is with OOo writer running in another desktop. LO is now refusing to open the File > open document gui, but i know from past exeperience that it would refuse to open it, crashing instead with a SIGSERV

This is using LibreOffice 3.3.0 
OOO330m9 (Build:1)
libreoffice-build 3.2.99.2, and the same thing happens with LO RC1.

I have tried deleting the .libreoffice folder in KDE thinking that it was some problem with my local settings, so i went with the default ones but it still refuses to work. I have checked my path and it is pointing correctly to my documents folder, and dont know what to do next.
Comment 4 Jan Holesovsky 2010-12-20 20:40:29 UTC
Please, what does it mean 'it is with OOo writer running in another desktop'?  Like, that you run both OOo and LO at the same time?  What if you turn off OOo, do you still see the bug?

Also - we really need to see the gdb backtrace, see comment 1.

Thank you!

Comment 7 Jan Holesovsky 2010-12-28 06:28:56 UTC
BTW, is that KDE3, or KDE4?

What if you enable Tools -> Options... -> General -> Use LibreOffice dialogs, does it stop crashing then?

Well, I'll be blowed! The open files dialog works without any problem
and i can open files with it! Thanks, problem solved! But it sounds
like there is a bug in the program that this workaround sorts out, but
thanks, i'm now a happy bunny again!

Jan.
Do you still want the strace and backtrace in view of the fact that
the problem is now solved?

strace of file open dialog (LibreOffice 3.3.1 on Slackware from original rpms)
Comment 13 sigstop 2011-03-26 11:44:58 UTC
I had the same problem, using LibreOffice's own dialogs fixes the problem. Nevertheless, at first it worked for "several" times (installed today). I didn't do any substantial (root) changes between working/not-working states.
Simply moving ~/.libreoffice didn't help either.

German language-package is installed, setting to English (USA) didn't help.

I use LibreOffice 3.3.1 (from original rpms) on Slackware 13.37. Sorry, no debug symbols, strace and gdb-bt attached.

And I don't use a major gui (evilwm), it doesn't have its own dialogs if that matters. But as I said, it worked before.

To OP: Please post your traces as this is not solved/fixed but circumnavigated.
Comment 15 Petr Mladek 2011-05-02 08:39:37 UTC
It looks similar to the bug 31109 and should get fixed in 3.3.3 release.

Feel free to reoplen this bug if it does not work there.
