Thanks, also you mention this crash occurs with a particular openoffice file - attach that file as well.
It looks to me like an invalid string is sneaking its way into the Xkb key geometry stuff. Not sure how that gets triggered from a spreadsheet, but something clearly is unhappy. Glad to hear my automated scripts kept you entertained. ;-) ** Description changed: openoffice.org packages are version 1:2.4.1-11ubuntu2.1 There are two actions which crashes OpenOffice.org. 1) I have an xls file that I open in openoffice.org-calc. I can view the file, but once I click on the file menu, the entire X session crashes. 2) I am writing a file on openoffice.org-writer. I have a KVM device which switches between two computers. When I switch to the other computer (when writer is open) the X session crashes. It never crashes in other situations. - Please let me know what files/logs would be helpful to debug this issue. + + #0 0x081b99ed in XkbStringText ( + str=0x74616c28 <Address 0x74616c28 out of bounds>, format=2) + at ../../xkb/xkbtext.c:526 + buf = <value optimized out> + in = <value optimized out> + out = <value optimized out> + len = <value optimized out> + ok = <value optimized out> + #1 0x081a9f0f in XkbWriteXKBGeometry (file=0x896c3d8, xkb=0x8834de0, + topLevel=0, showImplicit=0, addOn=0x81a9510 <_AddIncl>, priv=0x895c038) + at ../../xkb/xkbout.c:834 + i = 2 + n = <value optimized out> + #2 0x081a9210 in XkbWriteXKBKeymapForNames (file=0x896c3d8, names=0xbf823a5c, + xkb=0x8834de0, want=<value optimized out>, need=63) + at ../../xkb/xkbfmisc.c:346 + name = <value optimized out> + tmp = <value optimized out> + complete = 127 + multi_section = 1 + wantNames = <value optimized out> + wantConfig = <value optimized out> + wantDflts = 0 ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Summary changed: - OpenOffice 2.4 crashes X session + X crashes in XkbWriteXKBGeometry() saving xls file when switching with KVM -- X crashes in XkbWriteXKBGeometry() saving xls file when switching with KVM https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321946 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
