Hi All,

My wife uses OpenOffice.org (on an FC4 laptop that is up-to-date with
udpates) as her main applications and recently (in the last week) she's
been having problems where OOo just 'disappears' (her words) and offers
no chance for feedback about what was happening.

She's loosing 15 minute chunks of work and this is happening a couple of
times a day.

I'm on FC-rawhide and don't use OOo enough to have this problem.

Are others seeing this too?  How can I get some useful backtrace to
report what the problem is?  gdb maybe?


I've gotten reports of this on FC-4, but have not been able to reproduce
it, I need a real stack trace. One problem is that the auto-stack trace
provider on FC-4 doesn't kick in for a trivial and fixed in rawhide
reason so I'm not getting the stack-traces on crash.

So to debug...


gdb /usr/lib/openoffice.org/program/soffice.bin

(gdb) handle SIG33 nostop noprint
(gdb) handle SIGPWR nostop noprint
(gdb) handle SIGXCPU nostop noprint
(gdb) run -writer

and on crash

(gdb) bt.

Attaching such crashreports to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=171873
would be appreciated.


Hello, I am trying this as I am having this problem and I want to get it resolved. When I try the above method for running gdb (which I have no clue about) I get an error on the "run" line.

(gdb) run -writer
Starting program:  -writer
No executable file specified.
Use the "file" or "exec-file" command.


I found that the first line has to be gdb /usr/lib/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice.bin

Just in case someone else that is new to this, I thought I would pass it on.

Robin
