@Bryan, thanks for looking into this. I have an Intel 4500MHD. I tried to reproduce this with two other machines, one with an ATI and another one with an NVidia card, in both cases, things worked. Strangely enough, it also worked using the life CD.
What a strange (scary) bug. :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1174374 Title: libreoffice-calc crashes/hangs desktop on Ubuntu 12.10 and 13.04 when opening a .xlsx file Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I installed Ubuntu 12.10 several months ago, but LibreOffice was entirely unusable. Whenever I opened a document, spreadsheet, etc. it would crash or hang the desktop. I waited for Ubuntu 13.04, hoping that this would be resolved, but the issue is the same. Has anyone else seen this? Any hints for getting past this? Or do I need to go back to 12.04?
