The last few releases of OpenOffice have gotten very unstable on my desktop which is a CentOS 5.5 i386 system. After multiple crashes when doing embedded simple drawings in OpenOffice writer (circles and lines with connections), I started using the versions from Sun then Oracle.  I am now using version 3.3:  openooffice.org3-3.3.0-9567.  I've lived with this but with version 3.x it has gotten really bad.

Display info:  depth 16-bit, Intel Boradwater-G Chipset 965Q

Crashes I am experiencing now:

Writer sometimes using 100% CPU and X is unresponsive.     (I have to ssh to the workstation and kill Writer to recover.)

Random crashes in Writer

Writer crashes when moving circles or lines in     simple drawings (mainly circles, lines, clipart, etc.)     (insert -> object -> OLE object -> OO drawing)...

crashes in Calc when adding text at the end of a     line of text in a cell.

Could this be a problem with some setting or with Java?

Any help would be most appreciated,

Are there any crash reports?

Run OOO from terminal so you can capture errors and problems.

I ran OOO from the command line: openoffice.org3 -calc Result was a core dump after entering data on the spreadsheet for a few minutes.

soffice: line 120: 3882 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$sd_prog/$sd_binary" "$@"

gdb soffice.bin core.3882 #0 0x004922aa in ?? () from /opt/openoffice.org3/program/../basis-link/ program/../ure-link/lib/libuno_cppuhelpergcc3.so.3 #1 0x9739df14 in ?? () #2 0x0000000 in ?? ()

This is seems to be from openoffice.org-ure-1.7.0-9567: /opt/openoffice.org/ure/lib/libuno_cppuhelpergcc3.0.so.3

I found a previous core (29213) file with a similar problem: #0 0x00472309 in cppu::OWeakObject::acquire() () from /opt/openoffice.org3/program/../basis-link/program/../ ure-link/lib/libuno_cppuhelpergcc3.so.3

And another (21260): #0 0x00275e44 in cppu::WeakComponentImplHelperBase::acquire() () from ...{same}

I think I know what is going on. Please check if the old version openoffice.org-ure-3.1.1-19.5.el5_5.6.i386.rpm is "also" installed via yum since older version is marked for example 3.1.1 in CentOS/RHEL repository but effectively newer is marked as 1.7.0 in downloaded rpm's.

I created yum based repository with virtual rpm files that pull all needed files, and I had to uninstall full OOO so I can remove openoffice.org-ure-3.1.1 rpm.

On this and several other co-worker's computers, I had to remove ALL older OOO files to get it to install. The version is the one from the 3.3 tarball: 000330_m20_native_packed-1_en-use.9567 openoffice.org-ure-1.7.0-9567.i586.rpm

If that is not it, consider sending me your example hat crashes via direct e-mail so I can test on my own OOO 3.3

Not sure if I can (corporate computer). I just created a sample spreadsheet with text and numbers and kept typing in text and numbers. Nothing fancy. It crashes after a short time.

I have several extensions. Could that be the problem: arrows 3D and some Clipart English spelling and hyphenation French and Spanish dictionary OOOP accessories OOOP templates postgresql-sdbc Professional Template Pack Python Calculator

You are aware that CentOS

Very painfully....

installs OO via yum and rpm (I seem to have the current, which is 3.1). Is it possible that you removed tarballs, but not the rpm's?

No, I removed the RPMs and the installed RPMs seem to be OK (verified by: rpm -qa | grep openoffice | xargs -n1 -t -i rpm -V {} ).

I meant something without real data, but that crashes.

Then try disabling those extensions one by one.

The extension manager hangs when trying to remove. I removed all under the ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/uno_packages and restarted. I'm testing now but I suspect that is the main problem and will post if it was successful or not....

I still have a problem with selecting regions in drawings and spreadsheets which will cause OO to use 100% CPU -- a separate problem (and quite rare).

Thanks,
