Same problem here (on default Ubuntu 13.04 installation) with LibreOffice Calc.
Opening an XLS / ODS over SMB, then closing it seems to crash LibreOffice. You cannot kill it, nor restart it. No success attempting to kill -9 the soffice.bin process. Neither "pkill -9 -f soffice.bin" did something. The only way out is to reboot your PC :( I am attaching strace log as Michael Meeks requested on comment #8. ** Attachment added: "output of "strace -f -ttt -s 256 -o /tmp/slog soffice -writer"" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1070963/+attachment/3748593/+files/slog -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1070963 Title: libreoffice calc hangs when opening an xls file shared over cifs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/1070963/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
