[Bug 1468664] Re: Libreoffice crashing the whole session in 15.04

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
** Description changed:

  I've looked around but couldn't find any bug post related to this issue,
  so I'm posting a new.
  
  Libreoffice is known to crash the entire session on certain AMD
  configurations, mine happens to be one of them.
  
  AMD A6-6310 APU w/ AMD Radeon R4 and R5 M230 graphics.
  
  Libreoffice worked perfect on 14.04.2 last time I checked, on 15.04 it's
  unusable due to the crash.
  
- Whenever it happens I get a drm;radeon_acpi error stating "could not
- find backlight controller" and the whole session crashes.
+ Whenever it happens I get:
+ 
+ starting version 219
+ [drm:radeon_acpi_init [radeon]] *ERROR* cannot find a backlight controller
+ 
+ and the whole session crashes.

Title:
  Libreoffice crashing the whole session in 15.04

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  I've looked around but couldn't find any bug post related to this
  issue, so I'm posting a new.

  Libreoffice is known to crash the entire session on certain AMD
  configurations, mine happens to be one of them.

  AMD A6-6310 APU w/ AMD Radeon R4 and R5 M230 graphics.

  Libreoffice worked perfect on 14.04.2 last time I checked, on 15.04
  it's unusable due to the crash.

  Whenever it happens I get:

  starting version 219
  [drm:radeon_acpi_init [radeon]] *ERROR* cannot find a backlight controller

  and the whole session crashes.

  [Test case]

  I've tried also other distributions and kernels. Kernel 3.18 on
  Manjaro Xfce seems to be unaffected. Previous versions on Ubuntu as
  well.

  Kernel 3.19.*+ on Ubuntu and Fedora are also affected. Antergos didn't
  even boot from the LiveCD because of this.
