SORRY, is not Calc, is BASE.

did you install any extension?
does it crash even when you create a brand new file with hsqldb?
Just to be sure it's not a problem with your profile, could you rename your LO directory profile (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile) and give it a new try?

I did not remember to say it. Checked with absolutely new profile and the problem is the same. No extensions, except the mentioned in the USE variable.

Ok, I will recompile ALL Libreoffice... nnoooooo!! The 'debug' option is not selected (mía culpa), and the backtrace is not in use. We will wait for 15-20 minutes... :(

Toni: you can retrieve a bt without symbol at first. Perhaps it could be sufficient.

Sorry Julien, if I run the command "soffice --backtrace", it respond:

"Error: Can't find the tool "gdb", --backtrace option will be ignored."

I check with strace, but the error is the same.

Please wait  30 minutes more. I put the USE on a libreoffice-bin line, and recompile Libreoffice without it... I cannot believe it.

You need to install gdb, I found this link: http://packages.gentoo.org/package/sys-devel/gdb

I'm looking for gbd and dbg, but not for gdb (is because i don't found it and don't install it). I am remembering my mother...

Toni,

I cannot tell exactly what you did to provoke the segfault.  What kind
of database connection?  To what backend?  What window were you on?
What option did you take?

I have a build of of master with debug symbols (and in just a few
hours I should have a recent build with debug symbols), and I would
like to try get a backtrace.

Terry.

With kernel 3.8.13 and 3.10.3, the problem persist.

All the warnings, above all this one warn:configmgr:10906:1:configmgr/source/xcuparser.cxx:939: ignoring modify of unknown set member node "sdbc:embedded:hsqldb" in "file:///usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/../share/registry/res/registry_ca.xcd" are quite strange.
I wonder if LO is well installed.

Peter/Michael/Bjoern: I wonder if it could be a packaging Gentoo pb, any idea? I found this page http://packages.gentoo.org/package/app-office/libreoffice but I must say I don't understand how to interpret it (tilde/"+"/different versions)

Julien, sorry, I no said that this debug warning messages returns BEFORE crash application, when I run the application (soffice or lobase) and it start apparently normal. After, when I select any lobase option and crash it, the return line is only the last:

"Exited with code '139'".

Tried to take a look, but cannot do anything:

 - no clear & detailed (click-by-click) reproduction instructions

 - no attached example file that causes the crash when opened
   (or does it crash before opening a file?)

 - unclear mix of "problem with 4.1.0.4" and "here is a console long and
   backtrace with master" (that is, with 4.2.0.alpha), where the console
   log contains warnings that are most probably specific to master.

 - attachment 83118 [details] is without symbols -> unusable

Toni, since apparently you have a very fast computer that can compile LibreOffice in only a few dozens of minutes, if you could:

 1) Write us exactly what to do to reproduce the problem.

 2) Attach any necessary file to reproduce the problem.

 3) Do a debug and symbols build of 4.1.0.4 and show the backtrace generated
    with *that*.

it would be most helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Lionel, the problem is that the application dissapears without track visible (at exception of backtrace said by Julien).

Ok, I reproduce literally the problem.

# emerge libreoffice (with the upper options)
looking and compiling dependences, including libreoffice-l10n (I'm spanish ;))... (dependency graph attached on next message)


$ soffice
 -> the console showing warning messages
 -> starting the main menu for select for Writer, Calc, Base, etc.

I select the Database (Base) and it opens the lobase main window ASSISTANT (no more error messages on the console) with THREE options:

 1. Create new database (selected by default with the option widget)
 2. Open existant database
 3. Connect to exist database (+-, is in spanish)

Now, I can do 2 METHODS for continuing:

 A. Select my preferred option clicking over the widget.
 B. Clicking on the NEXT button.

If select the A method:

 - The window dissapears
 - The console show "Exited with code '139'" in continuation of warning messages and exit to bash.

If select the B method:

 - All seems to work. Like this:
 - The window change to configuring path for save the dBASE files.
 - I select, for example, my ~
 - Window: "How to proceed after saving the database"
 - Clicking on any widget, the console shows:
"warn:vcl.control:4367:1:vcl/source/control/button.cxx:2357: No new-style group set on radiobutton, using old-style digging around" ** BUT ** it doesn't dissapear and I can continue working normally.
 - Select "Yes, register the database" and "Open database for edit".
 - The lobase is opened and seems running ok.


And no more.

The attached backtrace (attachment 83118 [details]) is not useful because not done on a build with symbols. Please enable symbols and regenerate a backtrace.

That's a segfault. If you run under gdb (and with the --norestore option), it will stop in gdb (instead of exiting the application) and you can get a backtrace from there. Use "bt full", not only "bt".

(In reply to comment #20)
> And please, tell me how can put symbols on the backtrace. Now I've no time
> for investigate, sorry...

Pass --enable-debug or at least --enable-symbols to ./autogen.sh. Since you use emerge, you may have to keep the automated Gentoo-specific package build system from stripping the object files, or install a separate package named "libreoffice-dbg" or "libreoffice-debug" or "libreoffice-symbols" or something like that.

Sorry, don't know about Gentoo-specific procedures around "don't strip the built objects / install the symbols from separate package".

Changing optimization level for test. Recompiling for 3rd or 4th time...

And what, pray tell, is your preferred option?

Please help us here.  There are a lot of ways your system can be
different from ours.  Uncertainty about what you do to provoke the
crash is a complicating factor that we do not need.

Terry.

Just for info, just found this http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/LibreOffice and above all this:

Yes, my preferred option in this point is, for example, "Open an existing database". I can only select Next, because like I said, the other method crash. I can going to File/Open for the same, but with this menu works ok.

I don't know how to make debug with extra symbols. If this file is not good, I need an explanation. I'm not developer, sorry.

So the Database Wizard unprotects the dropdown list of recently opened
database files and unprotects the <Open> icon.  What do you do then?

And for the existing database file that you select ... What is the
connection type?  What is the backend database engine?  Can you attach
the file?

You need to compile with "-ggdb" option to gcc, and then read http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml#doc_chap1_sect3 (section "Stripping") to see how to tell portage not to remove the information added by -ggdb (that is, the symbols that gdb needs to provide a meaningul backtrace).

My understanding is that Toni gets a crash even before he can select a file or click the debug icon. My understanding is that the crash happens "as soon as" he clicks on the "Open an existing database" radio choice.

Yes, of course that is what he said.  Silly me.

FWIW, I ran LibreOffice under valgrind up to that point then exited
the program.  Nothing in the valgrind output jumps out at me.

Terry,

Thanks Julien, Lionel and Terrence.

Yesterday, I'm looking for the option to pass to the compiler, but here not show it nothing:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/i386-and-x86_002d64-Options.html

and I recompile LO without -ggdb. But option is here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.4.0/gcc/Debugging-Options.html

For this reason, yesterday I don't put this option. Now yes :)

Since I have never needed it, I did not know it. Thanks. And now, rrrecompiling... Because the debugging, the 6 cores late 50 minutes. My god, is summer and my room is 10°C overheated by the PC...

I think this is caused by inferior setup i put into the ebuild.

We use hsqldb as default so it needs java. As the user has -java it should simply crash because it didn't find the required java/hsqldb setup to load from.

But thats only my suspect.

Also note I still think it should not crash but rather tell user to pick from other db engine first. (especially if the guy has mysql and postgres both build).

What is the effect of "-java" in ebuild? It passes "--without-java" to ./autogen.sh (or ./configure)?

Compiled with +debug, -O0 and -ggdb, the gdbtrace.log seems the same (only change the pid). What I'm wrong?

(In reply to comment #35)
> Compiled with +debug, -O0 and -ggdb, the gdbtrace.log seems the same (only

As you are using gentoo it strips out the debug symbols by default.

You need to put something like FEATURES="splitdebug" into your make.conf

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml

Also you need to compile glibc with debug symbols.
But first things first, try to compile it with java enabled, I am pretty sure the problem will go away.

IMHO, Base is almost unusable without java. It is pity that it does not show any useful message here. Anyway, I agree with Thomas that you should enable java if you want to get it working.

Thanks, Tomás. Now, I'm recompiling (for 500th time) with the splitdebug feature. Also, I restore to "-debug" USE option, because other procedures recommend disabling it (the debug is for other things and it will use with careful) (?). I'm continue using the -O0 for backtrace.

Ok, compiling with java. If this work ok, the application will show warning message that the Java is not installed (because is not required for installation). Another thing, Java for wizards like that will NOT be used (or is that I think).

Well, with USE +java, works. Is possible change the language?

Thank you very much.

So, now that we have understood under which conditions it crashes (namely Java disabled at build-time and then click on any choice in the base wizard), it would be nice to get a backtrace with symbols so that we can try to fix this issue.

Toni: USE -java and -ggdb and *also* follow the instructions at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml#doc_chap1_sect3 to disable stripping (USE nostrip or alternatively USE splitdebug if your portage is recent enough). Then get the crash again and *then* you'll get a decent backtrace with symbols.

Basic backtrace

Adding the -java crasher.

Note that this happens when you click on select already existing database.

If you go with creating new one, it hangs on the last step of the wizzard.

Thank you, Lionel, I compile with this feature but, because I enable the Java, now don't reproduce the symbols and no crash error... nnnooo!!!

(In reply to comment #42)
> Adding the -java crasher.

This looks like m_aURLPrefixes (in dbaccess/source/ui/dlg/generalpage.[ch]xx) contains a "bad" OUString with pData==0x61. Weird.

The binary package Libreoffice created was slightly higher with java than without it (obviously): 109,4 MB vs 106.

I think that is important disable the java functions, minimal for the wizards (important if we want/can disable java by default, for user that don't need depend it).

And now, I've the curiosity of the backtrace. I will obtain it!

Regards to all.
