2011-09-18 Thread Thomas Majewski
I can easily reproduce this problem on my Toshiba L300D laptop. I am running Maverick with ecryptfs home directory. I just have to put the original 1GB RAM in, launch Ubuntu and OOo and then work with memory intensive applications. This causes swap to populate and then any action to any open OOo

2011-08-19 Thread Thomas Majewski
In an attempt to work around this OOo crash problem I maxed out my system's RAM so it no longer needs swap memory. I have had no further crashes regardless of how long documents and spread sheets are left open. I believe that this is strong evidence that the failure is caused once data is moved f
