Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Reports Libre Base

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.
