Yes, that kernel didn't have the bug.

And you didn't even dare to check the libreoffice-writer bug list? Outstanding bugs -- Grave functionality bugs; More information needed (1 bug) #865303 [G|Mu|=☣] [src:linux] libreoffice: Libreoffice Java features crash with Linux 3.16.43-2+deb8u1 Outstanding bugs -- Important bugs; Patch Available (2 bugs) #876051 [i|+|☣] [openjdk-8-jre-headless] i386 applications using JNI may crash due to Hotspot workaround for Exec Shield #876069 [i|+|☣] [openjdk-9-jre-headless] i386 applications using JNI may crash due to Hotspot workaround for Exec Shield directly on the top You yourself say "libreoffice writer java kernel crash". The first bug says: Found in versions linux/4.9.30-2+deb9u1, linux/4.11.6-1, linux/3.2.89-1, linux/4.9.30-2+deb9u2, linux/3.16.43-2+deb8u1 and has many "friends" merged with it. > I have also amd64 architecture on the AMD A4, and have not experienced the > problem with that architecture. Yes, that is i386 only. See also https://lwn.net/Articles/727206/ https://lwn.net/Articles/727703/ Yes, this is still unfixed, but a kernel/OpenJDK bug. LO just calls JNI_StartJVM or how it's called. _OpenJDK_ crashes then. > ii libreoffice-wiki-publisher 1.2.0+LibO5.4.1-1 You can try removing this, this is just recommended to have a "full" LO install if one did apt-get install libreoffice. That one's Java and seems to be initialized on (most) "normal" writer startups, too -> the Java crash. Or use a architecture which wasn't already obsolete last decade. As you say yourself: amd64 works. Regards, Rene
