Public bug reported:
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.
