I'd like to mention that this is not special to the Ubuntu OO. I'm at work using OO in the office (windowz) and was having the same problem (in OOo 2.3) and cancelling it stopped the cycle.

[Bug 46594] Re: file recovery never ever gives up after failure
I reloaded OO and restarted OO. I pressed cancel when it said it wanted to recover. Then OO hung my system. After reboot, i restarted OO and was able to create a new doc as well as open old docs and the so-called corrupt file. I suspect that OO needs some work on closing files properly when the system shuts down. And the recovery mechanisms is not robust at all, as others have pointed out.

[Bug 46594] Re: file recovery never ever gives up after failure
I think there is a usability bug here, yes. It does not do as many users expect. The most common case here, described in my earlier comment, is one where the user has clicked on a link in their web browser, opened the resulting document in OpenOffice.org, and then logged out and shut down with it still running. This results in a recovery dialog the next time they start openoffice (again, regardless of whether they even edited the document), which cannot possibly succeed. The other issue is that the dialog itself is confusing. The user is given two options: "Start recovery" and "Cancel". If recovery fails, "Start recovery" becomes "Finish" (and is cancel disabled?). It would be a great improvement to change the buttons to explain what action will be taken. For example: before recovery attempt: "Recover" and "Discard" then after recovery attempt: "Try again later" and "Discard" or something along those lines. -- file recovery never ever gives up after failure https://launchpad.net/bugs/46594 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 46594] Re: file recovery never ever gives up after failure
Is it a bug that the document recovery keeps coming up every time until the document recovery is canceled? It seems like an intentional feature. -- file recovery never ever gives up after failure https://launchpad.net/bugs/46594 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 46594] Re: file recovery never ever gives up after failure
I just discovered that clicking 'Cancel' at the recovery dialog seems to break the cycle. It only tries forever if you allow it to attempt recovery. -- file recovery never ever gives up after failure https://launchpad.net/bugs/46594 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 46594] Re: file recovery never ever gives up after failure
This is made even more irritating by bug #52902, which means that this happens even if you weren't actually editing the file. For example, this can easily happen when viewing a document from a browser, as the file ends up in /tmp and is lost in the case of a crash -- file recovery never ever gives up after failure https://launchpad.net/bugs/46594 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is easily reproduced with the following procedure: 1. Create a new document, /tmp/test.odt 2. killall -9 soffice.bin 3. rm /tmp/test.odt 4. ooffice 5. ooffice -- file recovery never ever gives up after failure https://launchpad.net/bugs/46594 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
