Hi :)
Is it possible to find a bug-report about this issue and upload the straces to 
there?  That might help  developers to see the strace.  There are few devs on 
the Users List.

Tom :)

Hi :)

Have you tried deleting the user-profile?  Do you have both LO and OOo 
installed 
at the same time?  If so is the Quick Start on in either package?  If you have 
OOo open at the same time as LO then they can get a bit confused.  There is a 
guide to help you have both installed so that they don't clash.  I have lost 
track, are you using Windows or Ubuntu or which OS?
Regards from
Tom :)

Back again with an LO crash: 
Opened LO for first time in three days;
Opened 3 .rtf files I had worked on in OO yesterday;
When I hit "Enter" to open a line-space in one of the files, LO crashed;
Even "Force Quit" could not close it, but it finally died after about 10

Does anyone think I should try to use LO again, after this yet again repetitive

A possible work around is to save the file in odt, then open and edit
it. Then save as docx or doc. Doc files are better understood and easier
to handle. Also, doc files can be opened by the current version of MS
Word. Unless the files contain Word 2007/2010 specific features, this
could work.

Yes, definitely.
The rtf-files I work with never crashed - up until now maybe ;-)

So please do us a favor and make (one of) the files available for 
testing (might be via private mail), or even better, create and rtf file 
with the part in it that causes a problem.


Thanks,
Cor

You start writer from the commandline with "swriter". If you want you can enter 
the filename after it, but it should not be necessary. Similar commands exist 
for all the other parts, like scalc, simpress and so on. 

Did you open a bug report? 
See http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport for more information how to do 
it and the link to bugzilla. 

Btw, this list does not allow any attachments and removes those automatically. 
So posting your strace somewhere else was a good idea. 

Oh, since you have this problem with an ubuntu-package, did you check with the 
ubuntu mailinglist, bugzilla etc?
