Nothing specific, but it is an edge case sometimes missed when
updating/adding other linux software.

Thanks for your response. groups? In what way? Anything specific I
should be aware of from your experience? Does something with LO
require a special group, like k3b "suggests" a "burner" group, which I
would need to be a member of to burn CDs? I just checked the group
file and didn't see anything out of the ordinary or any group I should
be a member of and am not.
Since this problem seems ubiquitous across many LO versions and across
other user accounts on my machine that I tested, I am now doubting
this issue is a LO problem. Although it may be a problem which only LO
encounters, since no other apps, including AOO, are having any
problems. I am going off to do some troubleshooting with another
similar computer which has not been updated yet since the end of
March. Hopefully, it will work and I can incrementally install the
security updates one at a time while retesting LO for crashing after
each installation. Hopefully, the culprit update package will show
itself. So, I may be off for a while, but if I discover anything, I
will post it here on this thread. I will keep your suggestion in mind
as I am troubleshooting.
Thanks.

May want to look to see all proper groups are set.

Hi Girvin,
Now that I upgraded to LO 5.2.6.2 from LO 5.1.6, every time I try
to log
in to Mariadb to access my database, LO crashes hard. This worked
fine
in 5.1.6 and it still works now in OpenOffice 4.1.3. I checked the
Java
config under Options and it is fine. I tried deleting the profile
directory and starting from scratch. It still crashed. LO also
crashes
when I use the "Test Connection" button in the database configuration
dialog to try to log in to Mariadb.
Any ideas before I return to 5.1.6?
Could be several things, although off the cuff, LO5.2.x was known to
crash in certain circumstances with JDKu112, so either:
- revert back to LO5.1.x or else
- try updating your JDK to a much more recent one and see if that
makes
a difference with LO5.2.x, or else
- move to LO5.3.x and a current JDK.
Why do I mention a Java problem ? Because the devs changed the version
number recognition pattern for JDK/JVM instantiation somewhere between
5.1 and 5.2, and this is what caused crashing for some. This was fixed
in 5.3. Of course, it could all be specific to your Slackware setup...

Alex,
Thanks for your prompt response. I have been working on this problem
all morning. I first upgraded jdk-8u112 with jdk-8u131 with the same
results. I then tried LO 5.2.7.2 with the same results. I then tried
LO 5.3.4.2 with the same results. I then upgraded the MySQL
Connector from 5.1.40 to 5.1.42 with the same results. Nothing I do
seems to affect whatever is causing LO to crash. I also started LO
from a console to see if LO spit out any pertinent messages when it
crashed - none.
Whatever is happening here, it is broad. I even tried to use my
OpenOffice Base odb file with the same LO results. Now this file
works fine in AOO.
There are two datapoints I had not thought of when I posted my
message yesterday. One is that I successfully edited and printed a
report on 6/19/17 with LO 5.2.6.2. So, it was working at that time.
The other is that I upgraded glibc from version 2.23 build 1 to 2.23
build 2 yesterday, before I noticed LO crashing. But I tried
returning to the old glibc version and LO still crashed, so I doubt
glibc was the cause. The other Slackware packages that I changed
yesterday are: bind, irssi, mozilla-firefox, openvpn, sudo, the
Linux kernel, httpd, libcgroup, libcrypt, mkinitrd,
mozilla-thunderbird, nasm, and pkg-config. None of these should have
affected LO, but...
There is something else going on besides Base crashing. I was
checking the "Tools" | "Options" with nothing loaded and when I got
to the bottom item, "Internet" | "MediaWiki", LO crashed when I
selected it. I wasn't even close to MySQL or Base at the time.
BTW: I am running a Dual-core Athlon CPU, 32-bit ix86 Linux and
Java, 8GB RAM, and 10% of 1TB disk space used. So it shouldn't be a
lack of resources. Besides, as I said, OpenOffice is still running
fine. My problem with using AOO, is that it does not have the Base
Report Generator I need to print my reports.
Hope this helps narrow this problem down. I am about to issue a bug
report on this. It is certainly repeatable, if frustrating.
Thanks.
Girvin
