It is a LibreOffice problem which affects the whole desktop session: as a result of the crash in Writer, the system stops and restarts. > > Needs more specific data, likely not an Libreoffice issue itself, but > X11 driver or hardware issue. > The problem is specificallly related to LibreOffice Writer. I do not experience it in any other application. If you want me to provide more specific info, I am happy to do so. But I need to know which kind of info I need to provide how. Respectfully yours, Bas Roufs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/882535 Title: LibreOffice Writer regularly suddenly crashes in a working session. Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENS When editing a document in LibreOffice Writer, this package or the whole system suddenly crashes sometimes. I cannot reconstruct exactly under which circumstances this happens - it happens always in the middle of an intense working session. After the crash, the system automatically restarts. I have been experiencing this problem ever since the latest versions of OpenOffice before the transit to LibreOffice. Recently, I found at least an effective workaround - as explained here below. WORKAROUND The workaround I have found, consist of preventive and curative measures. WORKAROUND - PREVENTIVE MEASURES When editing the document, I save it after each phrase via the command CONTROL-S. Each +/- 5 minutes, I go back to the folder where the document is: via Dolphin. First I refresh the document list via F5. Than I copy the document into a backup-document under another name. WORKAROUND - CURATIVE MEASURES After coming in the system again after such a crash, I go back to the document in which I have been working just before the crash: via Dolphin. After clicking at the document, the LibreOffice document recovery dialogue starts. I choose the option "Open the read-only document". After opening this document, I save the same document under another name, after which I can continue the working session. By doing so, I manage to recover the document in 9 out of 10 cases. In about 1 out of 10 cases, I do NOT manage to recover the document. In such a case, I continue the working session in the lastest backup document. ANSWERS TO SOME OTHER RELEVANT QUESTIONS: Release of the OS I am using: Kubuntu 11.04. Version of the package I am using: LibreOffice 3.3.4 OOO330m19 (Build:401) tag libreoffice-3.3.3.1, Ubuntu package 1:3.3.4-0ubuntu1 What I expected to happen: being able to continue the working session without any unexpected and non-sollicitated interruption. What happened instead: suddenly LibreOffice crashed and the whole system restarted automatically, without me consciously provoking this course of events.
