Paul,
No, I haven't seen that. I filed it away for future reference if I ever
look at ODBC again, thanks. I looked at ODBC years ago and decided the
JDBC Connector was better suited for me. It has been working for me for
a long time until now.
I still think my problem lies in the many Slackware packages, both
security and non-security, I installed on my workstation between when LO
was last working on June 19 and the day before I noticed it stopped
working, July 4. This morning, I verified LO 5.2.6.2 does work on my
Slackware Linux laptop with updates installed up to the beginning of
May. That is about a month before the last time LO worked, so it should
be a good starting point. My plan is to install the Slackware updates
one at a time, checking if LO is still functional between each one. When
and if LO stops working, the package I just installed is most likely the
culprit and I can back it out again, hopefully restoring LO to
functionality. I can then try backing out the same package on my
workstation and hopefully get it working again. At least that is my plan.
Thanks again.

Thanks for your response. groups? In what way? Anything specific I
should be aware of from your experience? Does something with LO
require a special group, like k3b "suggests" a "burner" group, which
I would need to be a member of to burn CDs? I just checked the group
file and didn't see anything out of the ordinary or any group I
should be a member of and am not.
Since this problem seems ubiquitous across many LO versions and
across other user accounts on my machine that I tested, I am now
doubting this issue is a LO problem. Although it may be a problem
which only LO encounters, since no other apps, including AOO, are
having any problems. I am going off to do some troubleshooting with
another similar computer which has not been updated yet since the end
of March. Hopefully, it will work and I can incrementally install the
security updates one at a time while retesting LO for crashing after
each installation. Hopefully, the culprit update package will show
itself. So, I may be off for a while, but if I discover anything, I
will post it here on this thread. I will keep your suggestion in mind
as I am troubleshooting.
Thanks.

May want to look to see all proper groups are set.

Hi Girvin,
Now that I upgraded to LO 5.2.6.2 from LO 5.1.6, every time I try
to log
in to Mariadb to access my database, LO crashes hard. This worked
fine
in 5.1.6 and it still works now in OpenOffice 4.1.3. I checked
the Java
config under Options and it is fine. I tried deleting the profile
directory and starting from scratch. It still crashed. LO also
crashes
when I use the "Test Connection" button in the database
configuration
dialog to try to log in to Mariadb.
Any ideas before I return to 5.1.6?
Could be several things, although off the cuff, LO5.2.x was known to
crash in certain circumstances with JDKu112, so either:
- revert back to LO5.1.x or else
- try updating your JDK to a much more recent one and see if that
makes
a difference with LO5.2.x, or else
- move to LO5.3.x and a current JDK.
Why do I mention a Java problem ? Because the devs changed the
version
number recognition pattern for JDK/JVM instantiation somewhere
between
5.1 and 5.2, and this is what caused crashing for some. This was
fixed
in 5.3. Of course, it could all be specific to your Slackware
setup...

Alex,
Thanks for your prompt response. I have been working on this
problem all morning. I first upgraded jdk-8u112 with jdk-8u131 with
the same results. I then tried LO 5.2.7.2 with the same results. I
then tried LO 5.3.4.2 with the same results. I then upgraded the
MySQL Connector from 5.1.40 to 5.1.42 with the same results.
Nothing I do seems to affect whatever is causing LO to crash. I
also started LO from a console to see if LO spit out any pertinent
messages when it crashed - none.
Whatever is happening here, it is broad. I even tried to use my
OpenOffice Base odb file with the same LO results. Now this file
works fine in AOO.
There are two datapoints I had not thought of when I posted my
message yesterday. One is that I successfully edited and printed a
report on 6/19/17 with LO 5.2.6.2. So, it was working at that time.
The other is that I upgraded glibc from version 2.23 build 1 to
2.23 build 2 yesterday, before I noticed LO crashing. But I tried
returning to the old glibc version and LO still crashed, so I doubt
glibc was the cause. The other Slackware packages that I changed
yesterday are: bind, irssi, mozilla-firefox, openvpn, sudo, the
Linux kernel, httpd, libcgroup, libcrypt, mkinitrd,
mozilla-thunderbird, nasm, and pkg-config. None of these should
have affected LO, but...
There is something else going on besides Base crashing. I was
checking the "Tools" | "Options" with nothing loaded and when I got
to the bottom item, "Internet" | "MediaWiki", LO crashed when I
selected it. I wasn't even close to MySQL or Base at the time.
BTW: I am running a Dual-core Athlon CPU, 32-bit ix86 Linux and
Java, 8GB RAM, and 10% of 1TB disk space used. So it shouldn't be a
lack of resources. Besides, as I said, OpenOffice is still running
fine. My problem with using AOO, is that it does not have the Base
Report Generator I need to print my reports.
Hope this helps narrow this problem down. I am about to issue a bug
report on this. It is certainly repeatable, if frustrating.
Thanks.
Girvin
