@JedMeister: To find out, whether you're problem is the same as the one reported here, you should 1) install the -dbgsym packages for openoffice (see here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash) and 2) start openoffice under the gdb debugger like this: gdb /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin Then, in the gdb console enter run -writer and reproduce the crash. If in gdb you get an output like: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x03de0747 in WW8_SdrAttrIter::OutParaAttr () from /usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.1/program/libmswordli.so then it is very likely the same problem. If you get the error in a different function, consider filing a new bug (ideally with a sample document triggering the bug) and possibly include a full backtrace (instructions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace )
Bug #454545 is a different bug and not (at least not directly) related. Note: The bug filed here is one that does not seem to be present when using the original openoffice.org package (from http://download.openoffice.org/index.html but be aware that these packages have other issues :-/ ), but only with the ooo-build version that is used by many linux distributions (see comment #59). The "novell- bugs #559714 " is about ooo-build. To test their newest version (like I did, see that bug) you would have to build it from sources, which takes *very* long, uses ~10GB of disk space and is not really recommendable if you're not experienced building from source. The good news is that apparently, the crash reported here will be gone with v3.2 as well. The code that seems to trigger the crash is no longer present, because the word export filter has been reworked. -- [ooo-build] [i386] OpenOffice crashes when saving .doc file with "notes" in it, Karmic. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/457220 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
