Re: [ubuntu-in] OO Writer freezing when write in Devanagari
1. start OpenOffice.org Writer and SCIM 2. start gnome-system-monitor 3. when you type in Devanagari and Writer freeze, see what shows in gnome-system-monitor. find out what program use the most CPU resource, you will know what program cause the problem. I guess the Writer freezed because of that your computer is too old -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

However, if the newer version (2.3?) gets back to swriter, no problem.

Ok. --That worked. By typing swriter in terminal, OO opens. Now, if in the course of my Hindi typing the program crashes, will an error message come up automatically in terminal? Or will I have to type something in terminal when the crash happens, to request an error message? [...] Not sure which version of Ubuntu, or OpenOffice you are using that you have swriter. The OpenOffice equivalent that I have is called oowriter. In any case, the error messages will appear on the terminal when you start a program from there. You will not need to type anything else. You can also save the errors (and, other output) to a file called error.log by typing in the terminal: swriter error.log 21 Regards, Gora - This email was sent using SquirrelMail.

It can happen equally after 30 seconds or after long use. The time seems irrelevant-- it just happens randomly. Sometimes when I start typing, it happens 4 times in the first 2-3 minutes. Sometimes it doesn't have until 90 minutes into a session. And according to my memory, sometimes it doesn't happen at all. But usually it happens at least once or twice in a two-hour session, or usually more than that. Can you run OpenOffice from a terminal, and show us any error messages when the crash happens? I haven't been using terminal lately, and I've forgotten how to run OpenOffice from terminal.

And it is very unlikely to be cpu overheating, because it can happen at the very beginning of a session i.e. in the first minute. Which would be before anything would have overheated. And even after it happens, I can go on doing other tasks just fine. It seems to be only the SCIM/OO that crashes.
