[Bug 1453812] Re: System freeze when using LibreOffice Writer

 

OK.
I reinstalled the "nouveau" driver and reproduced the bug. I was obliged to reboot the system because everything is frozen except the mouse cursor: no access to any terminal.

Then I typed in a terminal:
$ sudo apt-get install xdiagnose
$ sudo apt-get install python-apport
$ apport-collect -p xorg 1453812
ERROR: Could not import module, is a package upgrade in progress?  Error: No module named PyQt5.QtCore

Title:
  System freeze when using LibreOffice Writer

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  LibreOffice Writer is freezing the system after a few minutes (Ubuntu
  15.04, libreoffice-writer 4.4.2-0ubuntu1): the only possible action is
  moving the mouse pointer on the screen. Impossible to connect to a tty
  session to kill Xorg. A physical reboot is necessary. Note that I used
  LibreOffice Calc without problem.

  The problem has been encountered also under Fedora 21:

  The solution proposed on this french forum is to replace the "nouveau" driver by the "nvidia" proprietary driver (340.76).
  It works for me.
