Timo Niedenzu, there are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu, as we have transitioned to LibreOffice. => Won't Fix
You are welcome to test for this problem in LibreOffice. For more on installing LibreOffice please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibreOffice . If reproducible, please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer. First, execute at a terminal: cd /var/crash && sudo rm * ; sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y install libreoffice-dbg uno-libs3-dbg ure-dbg && sudo service apport start force_start=1 If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart. Now reproduce the crash, then open your file manager, navigate to your /var/crash directory and open the crash report you wish to submit. If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report. If you get an error that you aren't allowed to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'. If you run the command against the crash report and it does nothing, you may be affected by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/994921 . In order to WORKAROUND this, one would need to open the following file via a command line: gksudo gedit /etc/apport/crashdb.conf and comment out the line: 'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'], Save, close, and try to file the crash report again via: ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash Please follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibreOfficeBugWrangling when you file this crash report so the necessary information is provided. I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thank you for your understanding. Helpful bug reporting tips: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs ** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to openoffice.org in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/506399 Title: [i686] soffice crashes when called from mutt (using mailcap entry) Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org All mailcap entries calling openoffice contain: "soffice -no-oosplash" From a terminal, "soffice -no-oosplash" fails: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException' But, "soffice -nologo" works perfectly! After having a look at the script /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice, I tried some variants and got the following results: calling soffice.bin or oosplash.bin from a terminal: # /path/to/soffice.bin -nologo --> works # /path/to/soffice.bin -no-oosplash --> crashes as described above # /path/to/soffice.bin --> crashes whith the same error !!! # /path/to/oosplash.bin --> works as proposed # /path/to/oosplash.bin -nologo --> starts without splash screen # /path/to/oosplash.bin -no-oosplash --> starts with splash screen !!! As the shellscript soffice chooses one of the executables on the existence of the nologo or no-oosplash options, soffice.bin will normally never be called without one of these options. But it can't run without "-nologo", which I consider buggy at least. The different behavior of oosplash.bin on the "-nologo" or "-no-oosplash" options makes me think that "-no-oosplash" shouldn't be used anymore. So, all openoffice.org mailcap entries have to be changed from "soffice -no-oosplash..." to "soffice -nologo..." in order to call openoffice programs via mailcap. (In a second step, the viability of soffice.bin without options should be addressed.)
