Restart of ubuntu 8.10 if open vmware 6.5 and openoffice 3.0.1

[easybeat]

on Ubuntu 8.10 I have installed openoffice 3.0. I also run a winxp in vmware 6.5. If I now open openoffice 3.0 then Ubuntu restarts after I change from Openoffice to vmware!

I had openoffice 2.4 installed and this worked fine.

UPDATE on that:

Ubuntu did restart this morning also when I had openoffice 2.4 open. I did downgrade openoffice yesterday to 2.4.

Thanks

UPDATE:

I think xorg is crashing and restarts. Don't know if this is relating to this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/234036

Please help.

Thanks

I'm not sure which package this belongs to but it isn't a bug in OOo, maybe its a kernel bug?

It has been three months since the last activity on this bug, are you still experiencing these issues?

If you are still having issues please post an update with any additional details you can provide, and change the report 'Status' back to 'New.'

For the time being I am setting the bug status to 'Incomplete,' meaning it will expire in 60 days without further action. There is just not enough info in the report as it stands for a developer to get a handle on the source of the issue.

Regards.

Hi,

yes I'm still having this problem.

xorg is crashing when I have vmware 6.5 running win xp in and openoffice at the same time. I work in openoffice for a while and then change over to vmware/win xp xorg is crashing. It happens everytime I have openoffice and vmware open at the same time but vmware with other software (evolution, firefox etc.) is working fine.

Really big problem for me as I can't use openoffice in ubuntu at the moment as I need to have vmware running.

Can I provide other data to you?

Thanks

Nice to hear back from you, and sorry to hear you are still crashing.

Please attach the following information to help get the problem solving started:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
/var/log/Xorg.0.log

If there is nothing obvious in those files we will have to get into the system logs.

If you are not currently running a patched machine, please apply all available updates to the machine. I should probably ask, the machine is not actually rebooting after the crash, is it?

Thanks.

Hi,

the machine is not rebooting. It looks like xorg crashes and then restarts xorg. It does return to login screen. Hope that helps?

Thanks
