I reloaded OO and restarted OO. I pressed cancel when it said it wanted to recover. Then OO hung my system. After reboot, i restarted OO and was able to create a new doc as well as open old docs and the so-called corrupt file.
I suspect that OO needs some work on closing files properly when the system shuts down. And the recovery mechanisms is not robust at all, as others have pointed out. Hope this helps. -- file recovery never ever gives up after failure https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/46594 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
