If I leave OpenOffice with a document open for a while (hour or two, maybe longer), then type in that document, OpenOffice immediately crashes. It is difficult to know when the problem first started, since before the last month or so I wasn't using OO much.
I'm running Kubuntu 10.04 32 bit, uname -a gives
Code:
Linux treno 2.6.32-27-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 1 23:52:12 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
In syslog, I get the following
Code:
Jan 26 23:50:03 treno kernel: [27834.939147] __ratelimit: 24 callbacks suppressed
Jan 26 23:50:03 treno kernel: [27834.939158] soffice.bin[3259]: segfault at 100000 ip 00100000 sp bfe8eecc error 4 in libstlport_gcc.so.4.6[110000+c3000]
The following have NOT fixed it:
* Purging OpenOffice and using LibreOffice from their website
* Purging LibreOffice and using LibreOffice from the libreoffice PPA.
* Not using desktop integration packages
* Adding the backports
* Replacing the standard libstlport package with the one from Karmic.
The following haven't yet been fully tested; I hope to try them in the next few days:
* Clearing out my openoffice user settings
* Using an older kernel
* Using the 2.6.32-28 kernel (that's just appeared as an upgrade).
* Not using the proprietary nvidia graphics driver.
Googling around did turn up an Ubuntu bug report (which I can't seem to find again now), but no fix.
