Peter,
What indication do you have that LO crashes?
Does it lock up or disappear (a hard crash)?
If the former, LO may just be taking a long time to process something.
Patience is a virtue. I have some reports that search on database string
fields that are quite slow to process the report. I can go out and have
a cup of coffee and maybe it will be done when I return.
If the latter, there is a known security fix problem with Linux kernels
later than about 4.4.75 and Java. This problem affected LibreOffice, but
not OpenOffice, from my experience. There is a fix, but it is technical,
regarding stack frame gap size settings. The fix is to add a kernel boot
parameter to your booter (Lilo or Grub or whatever). If you updated your
*buntu since LO last worked, this may be your problem.
HTH.

Base is installed and for my financial database the only problem I
have is reports. I followed the advice and installed the packages.
This made no difference. When I open the data base and select a
previously defined report the data bases crashes. If I use the report
creation facility when I select the report wizard again the data base
crashes.
Does base log these failures and if so where can I look at it?
My fishing data base opens but I cannot open fofms , tables , queries
etc.
This problem with Base has occurred in the last 12 months.
Any suggestions on what to do next will be gratefully received.

I use Ubuntu 17.04 also, including the Libreoffice packages installed
directly from Ubuntu. The default install excludes Base, and if you
can't open a database, it seems like you don't have Base installed.
sudo apt install libreoffice-base should fix that,
For reports the packages you need are libreoffice-report-builder and
libreoffice-report-builder-bin. Use sudo apt install
libreoffice-report-builder* and they should install.

Repository that appears to relate to reports for LibreBase. How can
i find out what packages I have installed and what packages are
required forreports to work. I have an old data base which has not
been uses since January 2015 which I tried to open today. This will
no longer open for any thing , no forms or views or tables can be
opened.

Hi Peter,
Libre Base 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2
Ubuntu 16.4
When I first found the problem I removed LibreBase and reinstalled it
but the problem with reportsremained the same.
This is a special Ubuntu-version of LO. Have a look into your
packagemanager. Did you install all packages for the
libreoffice-report-builder? Have heard there isn't only one package,
which should be installed for reports with the Ubuntu-version of LO.
Regards
Robert
