Created attachment 124417 [details] It is the spreadsheet causing the problem I have a .ods calc file with 6 sheets. 3 of them are sheets which import external CSV data. 1 sheet is empty 1 sheet have some calculations 1 sheet have other calculations Last sheet makes calculations based on the other sheets. When I want to remove two specific columns from the last sheet, the applications crashes on the problem computer. But when I try to do the same on another computer, there is no problem. Problem computer is a Dell 990 i5, 16GB RAM, 120GBSSD desktop with Quadro FX1800 (nvidia 340 drivers) Working computer is a Dell Latitude i5, 120GB SSD laptop with standard (intel?) graphics Both are running libreoffice 5.0.3.2 I ran memtest on problem computer, no defects. I reduced memory to 8 GB single channel, same problem. Both run on linux mint 17.3, kernel 3.19.0-32 Removing .config/libreoffice folder in home does not work. I also tried libreoffice 5.1 and 4.2 but have similar problems. /var/log/syslog doesn't say anything about the crash. Sometimes the application crashes also on scrolling in a sheet. Is there anything else I can try? Is there any information I could give to solve this problem?
I just removed the quadro card and run the problem dekstop with the onboard graphics. Now I don't have a problem with the calc file! Seems to be related to the NVIDIA FX1800 card which I ran with the open source driver, the 304 driver and the 340 driver. Again, the onboard graphics work.
3 things you can do: 1) Retrieve a backtrace (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Debug_Information#GNU.2FLinux:_How_to_get_a_backtrace) 2) Try with Quaddro card + disable Hardware acceleration (Menu Tools/View, uncheck "Use hardware acceleration") 3) Try with Quaddro card + disable OpenCL (Menu Tools/OpenCL, uncheck both options of OpenCL
I messed around with uninstalling opencl related stuff first before reading your suggestions. I installed the nvidia-340-updates driver and got a unbootable system. I changed grub to boot in terminal mode (add 'single' to kernel options) and uninstalled the nvidia-340-updates driver and installed the nvidia-340 driver instead again. I read your suggestions when I booted the system and applied the HW acceleration and OpenCL you gave. The file didn't crash anymore! Then I enabled them again, and saw that the file didn't crash either anymore! I think I 'fixed' the problem by messing around with uninstalling the opencl stuff. But honestly, I don't know everything I did anymore. Anyway, my suspicion about driver related stuff was probably right. Whenever I get similar problems, I'll try out the driver options in LO calc first. Thank you for your time anyway!
Ok thank you for feedback. Let's put this one to WFM. Of course, don't hesitate to reopen this tracker if you could reproduce this.
