Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
Hi, I suspect this is not going to be a useful report, but I'll do what
I can, and if you need any more details let me know.
When I start OpenOffice, I usually go to the File menu (to e.g. open a
document, or print one if I opened a document from the command line with
'oowriter foo'). When I do that, often (but not always, I think) my
entire machine locks up. I used to think it had crashed and just
rebooted, but lately I have noticed that if I wait for what seems like
5-10 minutes everything comes back OK. I don't think it is swapping as
there is not continual hard drive activity during this time. Usually the
mouse pointer will follow mouse movements, but the keyboard LEDs are
unresponsive and I am unable to perform any operations using the mouse
(e.g. switching to a terminal to see what processes might be eating
CPU).
I am using what I believe to be a bog-standard version of Feisty Fawn. I
am using the proprietary fglrx X server, since I am unable to get
anything else to work with my Radeon X1300 card, this may or may not be
relevant.
I don't know what else I can say, I couldn't see any similar bug reports
so thought I would raise this as an issue even though I doubt there's
enough information here to be helpful. I should say this has been
happening for a long time, but up until recently when I noticed the
machine had not locked up permanently, I just put it down to the X
server crashing and decided it wasn't worth reporting since it's
proprietary software. Any suggestions on how I could investigate this
further would be gratefully received. Thanks.
