Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-r128
What version of Ubuntu and OpenOffice are being using?
>>Kubuntu 8.04 32-bit w/KDE 3.5 & OpenOffice 2.4.1-1ubuntu2
Using Spreadsheet, Presentation or Writer (Word Processor) when experiencing
this crash?
>>Writer only, this does not seem to affect Spreadsheet/Presentation
Are you using special themes or advanced graphic effects?
>> YES + using r128 driver
-OOo does not crash on machines using Kubuntu and intel or nvidia video.
-Video card is using using r128 driver -> Xorg.0.log attached (contains AIGLX
errors)
-In OOo, a crash can be triggered by a right click, menu button, typing in an
empty document, opening an empty document.
-Recovering from crash, OOo re-opens itself automatically and presents the
recovery dialog, when trying to recover the document, open office crashes.
-This may be related to bug #209478 or #209478 (private bug which I do not have
access to <- subscribe me)
Current workaround:
Going back to Question #6 - Problem was resolved by turning off GUI effects.
This was done by going to:
Kmenu > System Settings > Appearance > Effects
and turning off "Enable GUI Effects"
This is a user setting therefore it will affect all users on a machine
and they will have to individually turn this off. I would suggest that
GUI effects be turned off by default if using this video driver. While
the bug is being fixed, if anyone knows how, please provide instructions
on how to turn off "GUI effects" for all users on a machine (at once)
and by default for new users.
