Description goldfish 2010-12-14 12:47:34 UTC
FILESAFE


OS:
Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick)
Kernel Linux 2.6.35-23-generic 
GNOME 2.32.0

LibreOffice version:
LibreOffice 3.3.0 
OOO330m17 (Build:3)
libreoffice-build 3.3.0.1

Meaningful Summary:
LibreOffice repeatedly crashes randomly when I click the save button or use the keyboard shortcut for 'Save' (Control + S)

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Cannot reproduce it on will but crashes very frequently when I click the save button or use the keyboard shortcut for 'Save' (Control + S)
I tried to get strace log (on Linux)to work but because I not an IT guy I find it difficult to follow this.

This is when LibreOffice is using Iced Tea (the free Java that comes with Ubuntu or something)

Without any more information, we can't do anything but close this bug.
Could you please read http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport and provide a gdb backtrace of the crash when it happens and the faulty document?
Comment 2 goldfish 2010-12-16 05:27:20 UTC
Hi Cedric,

I will try to send you a 'gdb backtrace' and hope to do so if it is not too difficult (if it is technically feasible for me).

Regards,
Paul

Hi,

I read http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport but it did not state how I could install backtrace ( libreoffice*-debuginfo) on Ubuntu.

Please can someone help me with information on how to install backtrace on Ubuntu?

Regards,
Paul

Backtrace

Hello,

I have the same problem. I cannot save any document file because LibreOffice is freezing. 

I have created a backtrace about this problem. I hope this helps.

Greetings
Matthias

It is not the same problem. The backtrace from comment #4 suggests LibreOffice is run in the KDE3 desktop (and probably the file dialog is used), while the original reporter uses GNOME and clicks 'save' directly (which I assume means avoiding the file dialog).

So the second problem needs a separate bugreport (with all necessary information too) and the original problem still needs more information.

Hi Lubos Lunak,

I am trying to get this problem on backtrace. Hope to post it soon. I find it tough as I am not a software guy.

In the meanwhile here are some screenshots of the problem, not sure if it will help.

soffice.bin using up 98% of CPU resources

soffice.bin using up 98% of CPU resources is very odd. On my computer with several programs running together with LibreOffice the processor usage is under 10%. This high usage of CPU only happens when LibreOffice crashes.

Please help.

System Monitor's 'Open Files' 

This screenshot was what was shown when LO had crashed. It is so long it is in 3 parts.

Unfortunately, the screenshots do not give us the needed information :-(  If you do not know how to install the *debuginfo packages, skip that step.
Comment 14 goldfish 2010-12-26 10:39:24 UTC
Hi,

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas & here is wishing you all a Happy & prosperous new year.

I have completely uninstalled LibreOffice RC1 and have now installed the RC2 of LibreOffice. 

I am using it and if the problem of the random crashes occur in this version I will report it (I will do my best to get the problem on Backtrace). If all works out well I will ask for this bug to be closed.

Thanks.
Regards,
Paul

Happy New Year everyone!!!

I am sorry to say that the RC2 version of LibreOffice has crashed and I have not been able to get that crash on Backtrace yet.

I would like to point out that OpenOffice 3.2 also installed(comes standard with Ubuntu 10.10)& its Quickstarter is enabled. Will this conflict with LibreOffice?

Thanks.

I have completely uninstalled LibreOffice RC 2 & installed LibreOffice RC 3.

Unfortunately, that version too (RC 3) crashed while I tried to save a document. 

I will try & post that Error log next time.

Thanks,
Paul

I believe this bug has been resolved in 3.3.1, correct?
Comment 26 xihh 2011-03-03 22:17:08 UTC
Maybe this bug is related to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34996
Comment 27 Zack 2011-03-31 08:58:09 UTC
Marking as resolved as this bug seems like it was strongly related to bug 32797, bug 33368, and bug 34587, all of which have been resolved.

Writer, Calc freezes on Save Command, TaskManager sign "LibreOffice non respond"
Then continue with Save Dialog as File
After one Character freezes , and continue after a average ten Seconds to save it.
This appears with lasts Versions 2014

This appears in all components
Comment 32 Joel Madero 2014-11-02 16:00:37 UTC
Reopened is saved for bugs that are (1) marked as FIXED; (2) assigned to a developer. This bug was never confirmed so UNCONFIRMED is appropriate status. Thanks!

What is the Windows version? What is the LibreOffice version exactly?

Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information.
Comment 34 Julien Nabet 2015-04-06 21:28:11 UTC
Let's put this one to WFM.

Indeed, if Engelbert encounters some bug, it can't be the same as the original one since it appeared with last version of mid 2014 whereas original bug has been on 3.3

Engelbert: if you still reproduce crashes with recent LO version (4.4.2) + brand new profile (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#Windows), please open a new bugtracker.
Indeed, this bug, with more than 30 comments which go from 2010 to 2015, is less easy to manage.
