In Writer, run the Mail Merge Wizard. Click Next 2 times, then click "Select Address List". LibreOffice crashes. A strace log is attached. Details: Linux (openSUSE 11.4), 32bit, KDE integration, OpenJDK/IcedTea (1.6.0.0_b20.1.9.7-1.2.1), KDE SC 4.6.1
Might be a Linux specific effect, currently NOT reproducible with "LibreOffice 3.3.2RC2 – WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO330m19 (Build:202 / tag 3.3.2.2)]" @Markus: It seems you forgot to attach the strace log? Is that problem reproducible with an empty new page?
(In reply to comment #1) > It seems you forgot to attach the strace log? No, I didn't. This Bugzilla install just refused it for being too large... I created a bug report in Novell's Bugzilla as well because this bug happens for me under openSUSE. They allow bigger attachments, so I added the log there: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681055 > Is that problem reproducible with an empty new page? Yes, always.
Then I believe the crash is something new, "my" crash also appears in other steps and not with empty pages.
Link to strace log https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=420339 Cedric, please have a look. CCing also Caolan, due to recent mailmerge fixes he wrote
21863 03:27:06.463812 open("/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/../basis-link/program/libdbali.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 21863 03:27:06.464262 write(2, "terminate called after throwing an instance of '", 48) = 48 21863 03:27:06.464366 write(2, "com::sun::star::loader::CannotActivateFactoryException", 54) = 54 21863 03:27:06.464458 write(2, "'\n", 2) = 2 so...., this suggests there was no libdbali.so installed. Given the /usr/lib prefix I imagine this was distro packages, and I imagine then that the database rpm is split off into its own package, and that one wasn't installed, so it couldn't find the database stuff, didn't handle the "wasn't installed" exception, and fell over and died. Easy fix is to install whatever package libdbali.so ended up in. I should be able to reproduce this by manually removing libdbali.so and seeing what happens
crash fixed with http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/writer/commit/?id=e00096e8f8102c2b796337c053983bac336ff05c caolanm->pmladek: the crash here is triggered because libdbaSUFFIX.so isn't installed. I suspect that the SuSe distro packages have libdba in some sub rpm or other like libreoffice-database or something. Over here in fedora land I stuck libdbaSUFFIX.so into the "core" rpms long ago due to some similar problem as this. The core dba stuff was used by too many things unconditionally to be optional IIRC.
edge-case scenario, not proposing for 3-4
