Maybe I have another data point, and not just a "me too"... I have been struggling with OpenOffice crashes for a long time now on one PC running 10.04 (my little netbook on Ubuntu 9.10 is fine). I've tried both Ubuntu and vanilla version of OOo with the same effect - swapping applications back to OOo after a length of time causes the crash.
Yesterday I removed a slow Intel 5100 wifi card from my PC (this was an ill advised add-on). I had been struggling with the iwlagn wifi driver being unreliable for ages, and finally got round to rewiring to get a direct ethernet connection from my router. Anyway, for the first time in months I have run all day long without an OpenOffice crash. With multiple documents open, with all the activities I do still being done. Really could this be related to a piece of network hardware? This might explain why people are seeing different results on different machines - a different wifi card, or different driver version perhaps. Maybe OOo or one of its components tries to chat to the network unnecessarily during certain events and it gets confused. Either way, I hope my luck holds out. I don't know if just disabling the wifi would have the same effect, but that might be a worthwhile test for somebody out there. -- OpenOffice crashes with high frequency https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579966 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
