Re: [Bug 1454310] Re: LibreOffice 4.2 crashes vector::_M_range_check

 

Christopher M. Penalver, thank you for your response and instructions.

I have executed the commands in the first paragraph, and everything went 
through without a problem. One minor thing, the very first command (cd 
/var/crash) complained that there is no such directory. Nevertheless, 
after executing all commands now I do have such directory.

The problem is, that it is empty, i.e. no crash report is generated by 
LibreOffice. I did reproduce the crash, but var/crash directory is empty.

Apparently, this is a crash within LibreOffice. In fact, when I open 
LibvreOffice the next time it remembers that there was a crash and 
recovers successfully the active file  prior to the crash.

By the way, I suspect the crash is due to the parser module that builds 
the "Design View" (sorry, I used the wrong terminology in my original 
bug report), because editing in SQL View or running the query itself 
does not produce a crash.

I chose to file the bug report with Ubuntu and not with LibreOffice 
because my LibreOffice is from Ubuntu distribution, and as I mentioned, 
it does not have the standard "update" option. Evidently, Ubuntu has 
modified or customized the generic LibreOffice package to better suit 
Ubuntu's architecture.

Thanks again,

Janos

If you get an error that you aren't allowed to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'. If you run the command against the crash report and a window pops up asking you to report this, but then never opens a new report, you would be affected by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/994921 . In order to WORKAROUND this, one would need to open the following file via a command line:

Title:
  LibreOffice 4.2 crashes vector::_M_range_check

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  LibreOffice Base, Query: The specific query works, but can only edit
  in SQL view. If I try to edit in Base view mode it crashes. Only one
  of the many queries have this problem. Also, as I was researching this
  I could not find the Check for update option in the Tools menu. Is it
  not available in the Ubuntu packaged version? - thanks, Janos
