[SOLVED] libreoffice crashes with double free or corruption.

firewalker · 2021-03-01 13:06:57

After my last full systeem update (Saturday 2021/27/02) Libreoffice Calc crashes when manipulating filters with.

double free or corruption (!prev)
KCrash: crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2
KCrash: Application Name = soffice.bin path = /usr/lib/libreoffice/program pid = 49025
KCrash: Arguments: /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin --nocrashhandler

Any idea what this error means? I use KDE.

Now it crashed with corrupted size vs. prev_size

corrupted size vs. prev_size
KCrash: crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2
KCrash: Application Name = soffice.bin path = /usr/lib/libreoffice/program pid = 51940
KCrash: Arguments: /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin --nocrashhandler

Now, with corrupted double-linked list.

What could be the common on those errors? Glibc?

stackoverflow

Is this really the entire backtrace/crashlog you can get? coredumpctl?
Do you use the KDE/plasma SAL and what if you don't?

firewalker · 2021-03-01 14:41:56

coredumpctl list, doesn't show any coredump for libreoffice. I will try to crash contisniously and check for a coredump. I am trying to attach gdb but it doesn't seem to work.

seth · 2021-03-01 14:45:25

You need to
a) attach it to soffice.bin (libreoffice etc. are scripts)
b) "echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope" in order to be allowed to

Edit: "doesn't seem to work" is usually not a helpful problem description, see the stickies

I tried to attach gdb to soffice.bin but it would freeze it. Not just libreoffice. It will freeze anything gui related until I kill gdb. It;s been a while since I had to debug a program.

OK... The same happens to a windows version of Libreoffice. I will try to generate a coredump on Arch and report it upstream.

seth · 2021-03-01 21:12:09

I don't think stopping soffice.bin in the debugger could somehow freeze the entire GUI - did you maybe attach to kwin?
You could also edit the libreoffice script to "gdb soffice.bin" where you'd need to "run", cause the crash and then "bt".

firewalker · 2021-03-01 21:37:05

I can move the mouse but I can't click anything. If I attach gdb from a terminal (Ctrl+Shift+F2), when the "GUI freezes", pressing "c" on gdb it says

Cannot execute this command while the selected thread is running.

It is like an invisible open file dialog or a message box that takes all focus. I really don't know how to describe it. I will try to screen capture it.

seth · 2021-03-01 21:42:21

Do you attach gdb to soffice.bin *after* it has crashed and drkonqi is already presenting your a crash dialog?

firewalker · 2021-03-02 06:36:55

No. I attach it before the crash. Dr doesn't presents a dialog. After several tries, only the GUI of libreoffice locked. See the following video. I found some references for a gdb bug?

This looks like a glibc mismatch and would fit your overall libreoffice issues.
I don't see a preloaded glibc in the general libreoffice-fresh package, but did you do anthing itr. or something as terrible as symlinking libc/libpthread versions around?

pacman -Qkk glibc
ls -l /usr/lib/libc.* /usr/lib/libpthread*

firewalker · 2021-03-02 09:53:08

I don;t remember messing with glibc. An the crash of libreoffice also happens in a Windows 10 system.

[11:43 - firewalker@laptop ~]$ pacman -Qkk glibc
backup file: glibc: /etc/locale.gen (Modification time mismatch)
backup file: glibc: /etc/locale.gen (Size mismatch)

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      18 Feb 13 23:39 /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 -> libpthread-2.33.so

I submitted an upstream bug report. I included the file that causes the crash and a video demonstrating the crash.

firewalker · 2021-03-02 16:41:45

I can no logger reproduce the issue on Windows 10. It seems that the crash on windows was unrelated. After a system restart no more crashes. Back to square one...

firewalker · 2021-03-03 06:55:24

It seems more people corfimd it. On GNU/Linux and on Windows.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/sho … ?id=140754

Still dont;t know what the issue with gdb is.

seth · 2021-03-03 08:06:48

An early stackoverflow or some preloaded lib or a static link … or something else
Try to run soffice.bin in gdb by editing the libreoffice script (you'll have to run it from an interactive shell and "run" it to make it do anything.

firewalker · 2021-03-09 10:22:03

The fix will be available on version 7.2.0.

As a workaround someone could disable the "Enable multi-threaded calculation" option.
