Hi,

I installed a new RHEL 8.5 instance on a laptop.
LO 7.3 did not crash after installation.
It looks like moving from 7.2.5 to 7.3  or some problem with leftover files
in the RHEL upgrade caused the issue.

Thanks

Now https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147135

This bug has been reported in the forums of a number Linux distros.
The
issue is very random and appears to only arise in some hardware
environments.

For example, I run PCLinuxOS with either Intel or AMD based hardware
on
a number of machines and I cannot reproduce the crash. For others
with
near equivalent hardware and software environments to mine, the
crash is
100% reproducible.>
This is going to be a difficult one for the devs to track down.



Did notice something in message log file.
If run libreoffice7.3 but don't try calc there is nothing,
but if try calc and it crashes the log has these lines??

 What I am about to say has no bearing on anything related to reality,
but, this is what I had to do to make VMWare work on Fedora after I built
my own  binaries. The likliehood that this will work for you is very small
indeed.

I think you will need to create a password for signing. I do not
remember when, but, just think of a password and write it down or something.

(1) Generate a key, but do NOT use CN=VMware, use something like
CN=LibreOffice
openssl req -new -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout MOK.priv -outform DER
-out MOK.der -nodes -days 36500 -subj "/CN=VMware/"

(2) Import said key
mokutil --import MOK.der

(3) Sign the file of importance. In my case it was vmmon and vmnet (I
ran this twice) for oyu it is probably soffice.bin
/usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)/scripts/sign-file sha256 ./MOK.priv
./MOK.der $(modinfo -n vmmon)

Will this work? Probably not. If you are using Fedora, why not just
use the version in the repo?

I only mention all this because if it were me I would try it, but I am
on Fedora 35 now and I am using the version from the fedora repo.

Andrew

Thanks for info, but I'm just installing from the rpm files
included in the libreoffice downloads, so not building
anything from source? Not sure if perhaps they used a
Fedora 35 key for the rpm that is not compatible with
Fedora 34. I build kernels from source for my g4l project.
Just strange that calc seems to fail, but others work.
Something that some libreoffice developer might know.

This is not just Fedora.
I am facing the same problem in RHEL 8.5 installed using RPMS.
