Can't use personas in Libreoffice 4.1.0.4 in Xubuntu 12.04 64-bit

[Jason Smith]

I go to Tools -> Options -> Personalization.

I check 'Own Theme' then click on 'Select Theme'.

I found the theme I wanted, copied and pasted the URL in the "Select Theme' window.

When I click 'OK' LibreOffice crashes. No error message or anything it simply vanishes. I even tried looking in this folder: /home/jason/.mozilla/firefox/3yvxv88p.default/lwtheme to copy and paste the images into the LibreOffice gallery but the images for my current theme are not there.

I have images from a previous theme which are also in the LibreOffice gallery. I can't seem to get personas to work in LibreOffice 4.1.0.4. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I am running Xubuntu 12.04 64-bit.

Problem description: Every time I try to enter the URL for the persona that I want to use, LibreOffice crashes. No error message or anything. It simple stops working and the UI vanishes

Steps to reproduce:
1. ....Go to Tools -> Options -> Personalization -> check 'Own Theme'
2. ....Press 'Select Theme' and navigate to desired persona
3. ....Copy and paste URL in the appropriate field

Current behavior: After I enter the URL and press 'OK' LibreOffice simple vanishes without any error message or anything.

Expected behavior: LibreOffice should start using the persona I enter into the URL field.

Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.1.0.4 release

Have a look at bug 59230 to see whether this is your problem.

[As reported by 'Jason Smith' on Launchpad, I personally don't have this problem:]

I go to Tools -> Options -> Personalization.

4.1.0.4 is upstream LibreOffice and isn't default in Xubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, the default is 3.5.4 so this bug doesn't apply to the Ubuntu specific package unless if the same bug is found in Xubuntu 13.10 (which comes with 4.1.0).

Yes, that explains my problem exactly. I'm sitll having the issue though but I posted my issue in that thread. So maybe someone there can help me.

LibO 4.1.1.1 has fixed the problem for me. See whether if fixes it for you also..Peter

[Jason Smith (marinecomm)]

No it doesn't. For one, the lwtheme folder is now missing. The folder that held the persona images. Also, when I open up the registrymodifications.xcu file it opens up as an HTML file and there is no entry for the PersonasSettings at all. It also still crashes whenever I copy and paste a link to a theme off the mozilla addons webpage.

Update: It seems to be working for me know. I still had some files and folders from old versions of LibO in my system. Once I uninstalled/deleted those the personas seem to be working fine now.

[Peter-maunder-n (peter-maunder-n)]

With your agreement, I have marked as fixed then..Peter

[Jason Smith (marinecomm)]

Yes, agreed

Shouldn't be marked as a bug for pseudo-dummy projects on Launchpad since they are actually hosted elsewhere...
