Peter,

What indication do you have that LO crashes?
Does it lock up or disappear (a hard crash)?

If the former, LO may just be taking a long time to process something. Patience is a virtue. I have some reports that search on database string fields that are quite slow to process the report. I can go out and have a cup of coffee and maybe it will be done when I return.

If the latter, there is a known security fix problem with Linux kernels later than about 4.4.75 and Java. This problem affected LibreOffice, but not OpenOffice, from my experience. There is a fix, but it is technical, regarding stack frame gap size settings. The fix is to add a kernel boot parameter to your booter (Lilo or Grub or whatever). If you updated your *buntu since LO last worked, this may be your problem.

HTH.

Base is installed and for my financial database the only problem I have is reports. I followed the advice and installed the packages. This made no difference. When I open the data base and select a previously defined report the data bases crashes. If I use the report creation facility when I select the report wizard again the data base crashes.

Does base log these failures and if so where can I look at it?

My fishing data base opens but I cannot open fofms , tables , queries etc.

This problem with Base has occurred in the last 12 months.

Any suggestions on what to do next will be gratefully received.

I use Ubuntu 17.04 also, including the Libreoffice packages installed directly from Ubuntu. The default install excludes Base, and if you can't open a database, it seems like you don't have Base installed. sudo apt install libreoffice-base should fix that,

For reports the packages you need are libreoffice-report-builder and libreoffice-report-builder-bin. Use sudo apt install libreoffice-report-builder* and they should install.

I reinstalled Libre Office Base from the Ubuntu repository. I assumed that this wouls automatically install all necessary packages. a=There is nothing that I can find in the__Ubuntu Software Repository that appears to relate to reports for LibreBase. How can i find out what packages I have installed and what packages are required forreports to work. I have an old data base which has not been uses since January 2015 which I tried to open today. This will no longer open for any thing , no forms or views or tables can be opened.

Hi Peter,

Libre Base 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2

Ubuntu 16.4

When I first found the problem I removed LibreBase and reinstalled it
but the problem with reportsremained the  same.
This is a special Ubuntu-version of LO. Have a look into your
packagemanager. Did you install all packages for the
libreoffice-report-builder? Have heard there isn't only one package,
which should be installed for reports with the Ubuntu-version of LO.

Regards

Robert
