Well, I just tried loading a .ppt file in LibreOffice. The application fonts were corrupted. When I resized the window (from max to restored), it hung the system. Bob On Tue, Apr 30, 2013 at 11:14 PM, Bob Morain rmor...@gmail.com wrote: Turning off hardware acceleration seems to have made

Assuming you have no important settings in LibreOffice I would suggest removing the previous configuration: 1. Close all LibreOffice programs (if open) 2. Open a terminal 3. Run rm .config/libreoffice -r Can you open it after doing this? ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Status: New

After trying your suggestion, I had to cycle power to reboot (no other way to get control). I opened a .docx file and then a .xlsx file. The screen flashed several times, displayed the documents and then went dark and unresponsive. Bob On Apr 30, 2013 3:42 PM, Bryan Quigley gqu...@gmail.com

By the way, this was on a recently booted system with very few packages installed after installation. Personal files are on a separate disk, not mounted as /home. LibreOffice has failed liked this since 12.10. I can open from launch bar and create small files, but opening existing files most

The open source driver is even worse. Fonts appear corrupted, the screen is unstable, images jump around, unintelligible patterns overlay meaningful windows,... The Nvidia 304 drivers are most stable, but not perfect. Bob On Apr 30, 2013 4:40 PM, Björn Michaelsen bjoern.michael...@canonical.com

Turning off hardware acceleration seems to have made LibreOffice more stable. Not sure, since I have only opened a few files, but it seems to be working. The webgl-conformance-tests.html page did indeed crash Firefox, after reporting some failed tests. Thanks, Bob On Tue, Apr 30, 2013 at
