Ok, follow these instructions:
1- you have to add some required repositories:
run in command line:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
and add at the end of the file these four lines:
deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com hardy main universe
deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com hardy-updates main universe
deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com hardy-proposed main universe
deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com hardy-security main universe
2- run in command line:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
3- you need to install some packages. Run:
sudo aptitude install openoffice.org-writer-dbgsym
openoffice.org-base-core-dbgsym openoffice.org-base-dbgsym
openoffice.org-core-dbgsym gdb
4- you can now try to obtain a backtrace by running:
gdb oowriter 2>&1 | tee gdb-oowriter.txt
It will launch the progam gdb that will help you to debug openoffice. It will
display a prompt like this one: '(gdb)'. Now type these three commands into the
gdb prompt:
handle SIG33 pass nostop noprint
set pagination 0
run
The last command (command 'run') will launch openoffice.
5- now you can make your copy-paste to reproduce the crash.
6- Once the crash occured. You have to get the backtrace. Type these four
commands into the gdb prompt:
backtrace full
info registers
thread apply all backtrace
quit
After have typed the command 'quit', the prompt may told you that the
program is still running. If it is the case, Type 'y' in order to
confirm to quit gdb.
7-All these commands should generate a file called 'gdb-oowriter.txt'.
Post this file as an attachment.
It is pretty complicated for a beginner in this domain, so do not hesitate to
ask question. ;)
By the way, 'yelp' was only used to explain how to debug a program.
