Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
I was working on a document the other day after a fresh install. I had
forgotten to recreate a printer for the system so the only thing defined
in OpenOffice was the "Generic Printer". When I printed the job to the
"non-existent" printer I was rewarded with the Gnome desktop locking up
completely. I tried using the <control><alt><F1> sequence to get to a
commandline, but that didn't work at all. I was required to turn off the
power to the machine and restart. Once restarted I defined the printer
and didn't encounter the problem again.
I don't think this is the type of behavior we want new users of Ubuntu
to see when they inadvertantly neglect to configure cups/printers.
** Affects: openoffice.org (Ubuntu)
