OpenOffice/LibreOffice bug apparently related to dm-crypt
Hi,
as a heads up to users and developers on this list, there's a long standing OO/LO bug where the application often crashes. I've been suffering from it myself. The signs are pointing to a root cause with encrypted swap on Ubuntu, which is using dm-crypt. To further confuse matters, there seems to be an unrelated bug with ecryptfs which is also mentioned in the same bug report. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/745836.
Thanks,
Yaron
Can you send non-HTML email pplease?

So I would like to kindly ask Ubuntu maintainers to isolate the problem first and if it is reproducible without ecryptfs and
with mainline (unpatched) kernel we can move forward.
The bug report is so mixed up that I have no idea if it is related to dmcrypt at all. IMHO it seems to be ecryptfs only problem.
Thanks.

FWIW:
I'm on F15 with 3.0.4 stable (vanilla, except 2 totally unrelated cpu related patches) and can't reproduce the behaviour. I have been using openoffice/libreoffice all the time during my mastergrade studies, and I've never encountered such problems.
