weird document recovery attempt of openoffice after fullscreen slideshow with oo presentation

i get the same bug

Strange that recovery starts, openoffice exits just normally.

Program exited normally.

I was able to reproduce this quite easily with the steps in the original post.

bug #90007 is very similar, with the exception that it actually crashed. I'm not sure if it's actually a duplicate but if it is, it contains apport information.

To me these bugs seem to be not directly related, unless proved otherwise. They might be connected, but aren't duplicates at this point.

I've just seen this in Feisty Beta, after following the long test procedure (<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Long>), simply by opening /usr/share/example-content/oo-presenting-ubuntu.odp, playing the slideshow, and quitting the application.

Like the OP, I get no crash dumps, no apport, nothing in ~/.xsession-errors, just the recovery wizard (and the weirdness of OO Writer starting up.)

I also see this bug, it happens every time I view a powerpoint presentation in fullscreen slideshow mode.

I see this bug too on amd64 feisty beta. I first noticed it when I added a movie to a presentation then did a slide show and closed out. Almost submitted a bug report!

I can confirm this bug with an up-to-date feisty.

I have this bug also, but without even viewing a slideshow. It happens when working in a new odp file, and it happens after about 5-10 min of activity. If I open the file and do nothing, no crash.

I get no logs or anything from OOo on the crash, it just restarts and shows the recovery window. And then on occasion when I exit, oowriter pops up with a new document for no apparent reason.

I'm on Edgy, latest updates. OOo version 2.0.4, just updated a couple days ago. Problem started after updating OOo.

I've launched with strace and gdb, and neither seem to provide anything useful, as OOo forks before the crash occurs.

I can confirm this bug. Ubuntu feisty with openoffice.org-core (= 2.2.0-1ubuntu2)

I also confirm the original post. Using up-to-date Feisty. Crash happens with any presentation, new or existing and in any format.

confirmed here. hp dv5139us feisty fully updated.

Same here, up-to-date feisty.

Same here, Feisty final version

Still present in feisty final. Really surprised this wasn't fixed for the release.

Same in my HP Pavilion dv2104eu with Feisty update, release version.
The same story...

For the record, the crash does not happen when you download and install the stock version with GNOME support directly from OO. So, I'm not sure that there's anything wrong upstream.

sorry!i reported a duplicate bug report..pls merge/delete
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/109714

I just killed all dbus-daemon,dbus-launch etc forcefully and tried running impress via soffice command and tried the same routine ran slideshow,try to save etc.and it shows the same window about ...just recovered from crash....etc
but what i saw in terminal may be a enlightenment:

prakash@ubuntu:~$ soffice
process 12053: arguments to dbus_connection_set_exit_on_disconnect() were incorrect, assertion "connection != NULL" failed in file dbus-connection.c line 2830.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.

^^ after running slideshow etc.Hope it helps fixing the bug.

Hi,

I confirm the bug too. I performed an up-to-date from Edgy to Feisty and now with OpenOffice 2.2 I've got the bug everytime I play a PowerPoint presentation in fullscreen and then close OpenOffice after watching the presentation.

I tried opening it in a terminal, here is the messages I got:

(process:28878): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_screen_get_font_options: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed

(process:28878): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_screen_get_font_options: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed

(process:28878): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_screen_get_font_options: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed

This messages appeared many times but I don't think it is related to this problem. There isn't anything else that appeared in the terminal.

Open Office is indeed crashing. You just don't notice because it happens after you close the last window. That is also why the presentation you close isn't listed as a document to recover. You can tell that OO is crashing because if you have other documents open, their windows will also disappear, and it will do the document recovery on them.

Alternative reproduction method:
* Open presentation
* Display Fullscreen (F5 or Slideshow -> Slideshow)
* Alt-tab back to Presenter edit window.
* ctrl-F4 to close talk
--- No crash at this point. Fullscreen window still works as expected
* esc to close fullscreen
--- Crash appears here

"Open Office is indeed crashing. You just don't notice because it happens after you close the last window. That is also why the presentation you close isn't listed as a document to recover.

Yes you're right. I tried opening two presentations at the same time. It closed the second one, and it also closed the other document. Then the recovery for the first document appeared. After the recovery, the first document is opened.

So there really is a crash everytime you close OpenOffice Impress (didn't test the other programs of OpenOffice).

Some bug on ubuntu festy with openoffice presenter 2.2 :(

I can confirm the bug with the up to date feisty. It's quite annoying, my workaround is to use the Ctrl+Q hotkey instead of other methods( Alt+F4 or the top-right corner X button).

Same thing happens to me. Bug confirmed.

Confirm original description, except it is a crash.

Me too +1

This is a really annoying bug.

The same here. Ubuntu Feisty stable.

+1

Same here. Ubuntu Fiesty Stable

I've found a temporary workaround (out of necessity as I didn't have the option of cancelling the recovery process at any point which lead me in a neverending loop):

delete the ~/openoffice.org2/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Recovery.xcu

This doesn't fix the original bug, merely ensures the recovery dialogue doesn't pop up next time you start any OOo app.

This of course assumes that you always save consisntely and do not wish to recover anything.

Here the some thing..

Running Kubuntu Feisty final.

Where close pressentation appears always "recover window".

Still confirmed, Feisty up-to-date, version 2.2.0-1ubuntu3. Occurs with both PowerPoint and Impress presentations.

I think everyone should be satisfied that this bug is confirmed, but has anyone made any progress with a fix, it's really annoying?

To get this bug fixed, it has to be reported upstream at www.openoffice.org (as an "issue"), then linked here (there is a facility for this with "Also Affects Upstream").

Is the following
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/115226
a duplicate?

No, that doesn't seem to be a duplicate. I would report it at
openoffice.org, but I think it's a bug in Ubuntu's OOo packages, not OOo
itself, so doesn't that make it an Ubuntu issue?

I don't think it's an upstream bug, either. When I posted this problem on OOo forums, no one else was having the issue. They recommended I delete the Ubuntu version of OOo and install the "OEM" version directly from OOo. When I did, the bug went away. So, it's pretty clear that the bug was somehow introduced by Ubuntu.

Interesting, so is there anything else we can do, apart from bump the ubuntu
bug report?

I have to support Stephen. I suppose that there is a library compatibility problem in Ubuntu. So someone here should check the packaging in the distro.

This definitely only effects the Ubuntu version. I'm about to go ahead and grab the RPMs and use Alien.

Yes, this definitely is an Ubuntu-specific problem. I just downloaded the RPMs from the OOo site and installed them using Alien. The crashing no longer occurs when I run a full screen impress presentation and exit... yay!

Debian packages for OOo 2.2 are available too. It works too fine.

I tested with the Debian package version 2.2.1~rc1-1 and it did not crash given the steps above.

Good question.
I think, someboby working on it.
Because...is somebody working on it. isnt it?
Maybe for gusty.

Same bug here on 5 different computers.

I can see this , too, BUT ONLY WHEN I CLOSE THE OOFFICE WINDOW WITH THE WINDOW CLOSE BUTTON ("X").

OOffice closes normally if you go the way File->Exit

Can you confirm that?

up-to-date feisty system here

no, also happens when closed by File->Exit here

Same Bug here. Ubuntu feisty 7.04

I also have this bug. Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04.

Open Office 2.2.1 RC3 from Gutsy does not suffer from this issue. Hopefully when 2.2.1 is released as an update in Feisty, this will be fixed.

Same bug here. Feisty with latest updates. This bug is very annoying.

Backtrace. I hope this backtrace help to fix error.

Confirmed here, up-to-date feisty.

+1

+1 Confirmed here, up-to-date feisty.

+1 Confirmed here, up-to-date feisty.

Please port 2.2.1 final Gutsy to feisty (Gutsy does not suffer from this issue)

same for me

Guys the bug is confirmed. I also got the same weird recovery something after closing a presentation right after viewing the presentation in full window mode

The same here

fixed in gutsy, pending for feisty

Until this is fixed, is there a way to re-install OOo from the gutsy repos if you are using feisty? Or would that likely break a lot of things?

Are they available? I don't really know if that could do any harm...

Well, the gutsy impress package requires an updated glibc for some architectures. New glibc will quite likely break stuff. Dunno if there's a backport available...

After the update, trying the example presentation the presentation itself does not start, locking all the buttons and the gnome panels...do not know if it's only a problem of the particular configuration of my laptop...

csantiago,

From a terminal type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Now you should get the 81 MB of patched OO software.

Thanks Matthias for this patch - Just in time for the new academic year!

Thanks! :)

I already did it, thank you Cement.
And thank you again Mattias for this patch!

I apologize for my previous post, the crash was due to some gtk-engines, gnome-themes and other stuff (AWN repos ecc...) that i've installed by non-supported sources, with the official ubuntu packages it works good. There's only a little glitch: when i open a presentation file the draw buttons below seems to become garbaged.

everything is ok! thanks

I am happy to see that the bug was fixed some how, I do not know when and how. More then likely with one of the last updates.
Thanks a lot to whoever did the job.
