UPDATE: The same problem now re-occurred with LO writer. Unfortunately,
although running through strace, no strace.log to be found on the system.

Just to clarify, the issue I was having did not appear to be an effect of a
slowed-down LO, as the entire OS went unresponsive and the first few times
it happened, I waited for a lng time to give it a chance to recover. It
never did. However, since I cannot reproduce the crashes right now, I can't
add anything useful, sorry about that.

Never mind. It happens more often that people report crashes or such, 
and in the end they seem to have disappeared :-)

2011-08-17 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
Good point.  Also have you tried increasing the size of the memory caches 
available to LibreOffice?
Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Memory

However in GnuLinux a single app should be able to grey out or even crash 
completely without affecting any of the other apps or the rest of the desktop.  
Usually if you move the mouse arrow outside of the app or switch to another 
workspace then you should find that everything else is working fine.

In platforms that are not unix-based apps and processes are not usually 
protected from each other.  This impacts on stability and security.  That is 
why 
i thought it best to get a bug-report posted asap so thanks for doing that.
Regards from
Tom :)

this reminded me my experience,not this much serious though.
while creating a presentation,i found LO unresponsive.i was a bit
scared.waited for few minutes and it was working again.later,i found that LO
was making a back-up copy at that time and hence the effect.dont know if
this is normal or not.and this happened only for the first
back-up.subsequent ones went without any problem.
LO-3.3.2,ubuntu lucid.
but the system itself was not hanged in my case;i used other apps
normally.no problem there

 Also out of curiosity which format do you use for the presentation?  Could
 you try Save As and change to the other one, eg if the presentation is
 currently a .Ppt try saving as a .Odp

 I don't know if it's going to be possible to try that and i don't know why

 didn't think of it before.

I have seen LO appear to hang when backing up very large document. The
computer was completely functional and once the backup was done LO
worked.

One other thing I noticed that could slow down LO is having record
changes on (EDIT  CHANGES  RECORD). It really slowed down find 
replace when on.

[libreoffice-users] Re: LO Impress 3.3.3 crashes Windows and Ubuntu

2011-08-17 Thread stan
Thanks for the helpful ideas. At the moment, I am trying to reproduce the
crash while logging events through strace, but still to no avail. From
memory, the crash happened mostly with a particular odp file I had to
finish, but recently it also happened when I opened someone else's ppt and
yesterday just before I sent out my cry for help, it crashed on me just
after removing all but one slide from the odp file I used previously and
pasting a couple of images, i.e. within 5 minutes of opening it. No crashes
since. I'm sure it will crash again when I actually need to get something
done urgently. At least you gave me a few hints what I can try to get it to
do the job when I need to. I'll report when I encounter another crash.

Cheers
Stan

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the quick reply. The bug report is now
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40141
Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the crash using strace. Ironic! I'll just
start LO through strace every time and if it doesn't crash, that's fine,
too. 

Cheers
Stan
