After my wifi red-herring (I think this was just a cover for the real problem that is when OOo will crash when it is forced to page due to low physical memory, which is 100% reproducible for me), I'm trying the new PPA Brendan and Cameron have been trying.
I forced the system to page, running an Imagemagick convert (convert 100page.tif new.pdf) on a large document. As soon as I killed that process (paging was excessive) I returned to OOo. I saw Writer attempt to start an autosave, then it crashed as before. This was a single, simple document saved in ODT format. I wonder if it was related to the autosave attempting to run when memory is paged, or if it is just a matter of OOo trying to access something that it expects to be available instantly but takes longer to pull back due to paging. This would explain why maybe I see this a lot, as I typically have a VirtualBox VM session chewing a bunch of memory, plus some other apps running. Either way, this PPA doesn't fix it for me. -- OpenOffice crashes with high frequency https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579966 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
