Im running latest update QubesOS 4.3.1 & everything all up to date, and all looks great yet LibreOffice just keeps on crashing and im so lost here as i have 4 vCPU min500MIB in a offline qubeVM and when i try and work in a .odt document that is about 450mb in size it all works until i go to close it down and save then it glitches and gives error;
GENERAL ERROR. GENERAL INPUT/OUTPUT ERROR
then when i try and re-open it it wont until i shut down the offline qubeVM and re-start then the exact same issue all over again.
yet i have tried on more than 1 different VMQube based on different OS’s (deb-13 & fed-43)
Please can someone help me figure out what setting in qubes i need to alter as im sure this is user error? thanks
Open a terminal in that qube, enter the command oowriter. It starts the word processing program from the libreoffice (fka “OpenOffice” that’s why oo) suite.
i did so & it opened up a blank draft & in CLI the curser now sitting below in the CLI like it wants me to type something in the CLI and/or i can just edit the said draft Writer doc?
That’s normal while the program is running. Try to open your file again and do your stuff. Watch the terminal for any additional output (in case of a crash).
same issue there, i notice that the .odt is in writer yet i normally use such a thing in Draw yet it doesnt open at all in either as i use it as a kind of inventory document so when i add about 100 pictures it just gets bigger and bigger in size, i did successfully and easily open and edit it all ok on another laptop using MintOS may i add and i have other libreoffice stuff i wourk on fine on Qubes such as much smaller documents and .cal spreadsheets etc
i only use External SSD with all my data, i plug it in and open up Vault QubeVM (offline) then i navigate to my document through the GUI folders and files like a beginner would then i find the said file i like then i either double click it or right click it then choose to open it with something else that may not be default for example
May i add that im sure its all about size as i can do everything with smaller stuff & it will let me edit the bigger stuff upon 1st open yet when i go to save is the issue then when i go to save it just doesnt like saving that size i think thus causes an error to occur thus wont re-open & i have tried with other similar size documents .odt which all have the same result thus confirming its not a singular document corruption issue
I would agree. But the remaining space is enough as is the max RAM with 4GB. What does df -h show for /tmp? Preferably whith libreoffice running and that file open?
