[Libreoffice-qa] Windows and OpenGL - what to do in the unlikely case that LibreOffice crashes on startup
Hi *, as LibreOffice 5.0.2 comes with OpenGL rendering by deafult that might cause problems on certain hardware/driver combinations, there is a possibility of LibreOffice crashing on startup, so you cannot go to Tools|Options → LibreOffice → View to disable it. In this case, you can use the registry setting attached to https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93546 to disable it. so in case you stumble over bugs for rWindows that involve crash on start, keep this one in mind. ciao Christian ___ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/

Shouldn't this be in a wiki somewhere instead of directing to a registry setting attached to a bug report? Also, @Robinson and others - can we spam this message in the QA channel as many don't follow the mailing list.

Looks like there's nothing at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/OpenGL yet, so that seems like a good place to start to list OpenGL information such as this. > Also, @Robinson and others - can we > spam this message in the QA channel as many don't follow the mailing list. Sure -- conference WiFi is blocking me from IRC (maybe just SSL ports), but I'll see about fixing that when I get a minute here. --R -- Robinson Tryon QA Engineer - The Document Foundation LibreOffice Community Outreach Herald qu...@libreoffice.org 802-379-9482 | IRC: colonelqubit on Freenode ___ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/
