Another step in the right direction... With my unencrypted test home directory I created in the previous comment, I can now focus in on the problem a bit more. I'm running OOo under my standard username (phil), but changing the HOME environment variable before running the ooffice executable:
export HOME=/home/testooo ooffice & When I check OOo options, I see that all the paths are pointing to a subdirectory of /home/testooo. Just to double check, I moved the .openoffice.org directory out of the way on my home/phil directory, just to check its not recreated. It is not. To focus on where the problem is, I've been editing a document stored on my encrypted home directory (/home/phil/...) and have not crashed once. As ever I've stressed the box hard, but that has not triggered a crash. So the error, in my opinion is only when reading or writing to the .openoffice.org directory on an encrypted home. If my actual documents are on the encrypted home, I have not (yet) seen a crash, so the location of the documents themselves is unimportant. No surprise I suppose. OpenOffice probably hits its config directory a lot, especially when you switch back from another application and type some new text. Why it should matter that the box is stressed and the config files are on an encrypted home, I don't know yet. I am going to find a way to get some more information. -- OpenOffice crashes with high frequency https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579966 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
