| Subject | libreoffice base crashes when writing HSQLDB |
| Message-ID | <uohEm-18i-19@gated-at.bofh.it> |
Dear all, Libreoffice is working for me except for Base. This means when I want to create a (or use an existing) database libreoffice crashes immediately without giving any information. I open libreoffice and click to open a new database (HSQLDB Embedded). Then Finish and I am asked about the name of the database. I enter the name, click Save and then comes the crash. A database file is created, though. I am using Debian testing. I haven't found anything in the web. Can anyone help me? Best regards, Flo

I have reasonable success with data access using mysql, the part I have major trouble with is report writing, which stopped altogether for a couple of weeks recently.

And beides Base being flaky, if you run i386 you run into the still unfixed
regression in the kernel breaking Java (well, stuff embedding the JVM) on
i386. (not on amd64).
And given the internal db is hsqldb - so *is* Java - and thus the JVM gets
initialized...

See also https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=865303 and "friends".
Somewhere there is also the boot option to disable the security(!) fix
to make Java work again.
Your fault for still using i386 then. (Don't get me wrong: the regression
should be fixed, nevertheless, sure.)

The Report Builder also is Java...

It works poorly at best, and it just stopped for a while. No bits missing, as far as I could see, bearing in mind that I run sid, but no dice. I fired up my wife's computer and used Access to get the job done immediately, but I've been trying to leave Access for ten years or more, so I had a go with fpdf with php, and can now produce my most important reports (i.e. invoices) if Base goes walkabout again. -- Joe

I played around a lot but the only thing I need to do is to use an older kernel. I read in one of the articles that this should be solved at 4.13 and I installed such a kernel from the experimental release but it didn't change anything. So for right now I can live with that. Though I don't like to run a kernel with some known security issues. And I hope it will get solved in the, hopefully, near future. The other option would be to patch the kernel and to compile it myself ... > Your fault for still using i386 then.

Try running "libreoffice --base" in a terminal window, and see if that gets you viable error messages. I just tested it, and it did bring up the Database Wizard. It's just something I picked up along the way about how Libreoffice opens each feature. "--calc" gets the k/t for having taught me that a long time ago and most likely via a right click over an Applications menu entry... or something similar.. a long time ago... :) Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with duct tape *
