ilpara -- as for how to investigate this bug, here are two ideas: 1) Compare the output of "dpkg -l" (or whatever the command is to list installed packages and versions) on "good" and "bad" installations.
2) Someone tell us how to get a crash trace from OpenOffice (since the instructions for using apport didn't work). I'm an embedded software engineer which means I know the theory and practice of debugging on embedded platforms, but I've never really done programming/debugging for Linux so far. The only package I can think of that may be "unusual" in my installation is java. I've been trying to get jEdit, JBidWatcher and Firefox java plugins working, and I've got strange results from a few of the packages I've installed (icedtea, java5, java6 something like that). But it seems unlikely that the Open/Save As dialog boxes would have anything to do with java. But I'll try a few things and see if I can uncover anything useful. -- Openoffice 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu1 apps crash on "save as" / "open" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/241256 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
