[Solved] AOO Crashes After A Minute - Fedora 35

[jbkt23]

I've upgraded 2 of my computers from F33 to F35. Both machines have AOO 4.1.5 installed. On one machine with an AMD processor and graphics open office crashes after about a minute in either writer or calc, and offers to revover the file but then crashes again after apparently completing the recovery. The other machine has an intel processor and graphics and is working just fine.

I've run this command on both machines with the same results:

$ ldd -v /opt/openoffice4/program/libvclplug_gtk.so | grep -i "not found"
ldd: warning: you do not have execution permission for `/opt/openoffice4/program/libvclplug_gtk.so'
libxml2.so.2 (LIBXML2_2.4.30) => not found
libxml2.so.2 (LIBXML2_2.6.0) => not found

The library libxml2.so.2 does exist it just points to a more recent version:

libxml2.so.2 -> libxml2.so.2.9.12

I'll look to see if i can produce any other error output after reading a few other crash reports here.

Well I figured out what feature is causing the crash and it is the " Check for Open Office Updates" feature in the Tool > Options menu. It was enabled and I noticed the crash occurred seconds after the green icon appeared in the upper right corner of the window indicating an update was available. Once I disabled that feature and reopened AOO I no longer had any crashes.
That feature was never enabled on the Intel machine.

I consider my issue closed / solved.

On all machined I'm using Mate Desktop ver 1.26. on Fedora 35.

I am sure you hate it as much as I do when you answer your own question

Thanks for letting us know the solution.

Both machines have AOO 4.1.5 installed.

causing the crash and it is the " Check for Open Office Updates" feature

Indeed, this bug has been fixed since 4.1.8 build and later: https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127789

I have AOO 4.1.12 running on macOS 10.13.6 (High Sierra) and the green icon upper right kept appearing. When clicked, the app would not quit. Selecting "Check for updates" causes the same issue. I had to force quit and in Preferences>OpenOffice>Online Update, had to uncheck everything. Having auto-check updates and downloads off now doesn't freeze up the app.
