In November, I upgraded from Kubuntu 12.04 to 12.10. In January, I carried out a fresh install of 12.10. At one of those transit moments, my difficulties with LibreOffice considerably diminished.

The crash is happening when trying to save, print or export as PDF of an open document. It is more that clear that this makes the office suite not quite usable. Anyone else experiencing this? Possible solution? Is there a site where these type of crashes can be reported? thanks, gk </blockquote> </div> Hi all </blockquote> I don't know if I'm referring to the same problem but a few weeks ago in a discussion started about an external hard drive and USB problems, it developed into a discussion about computer crashing. The thoughts by all who advised me were that it was a hardware problem. I have checked my hardware and see no fault. I am pasting my original part of the thread and MAYBE this is a common problem and it isn't hardware? <blockquote style="direction: ltr;" type="cite"> <blockquote style="direction: ltr;" type="cite">Now THAT is a most unusual situation. I have never heard of an USB port failing. Was it the cable or is the mobo on its last legs? BC </blockquote> The latter I'm afraid. The front USB's have been out of action for a while and now it seems to be spreading. I have another phenomena ONLY happening in Kubuntu - not in Windows but maybe that is because I use it for short spurts and only when I have no choice like using Visio which I use for work. The phenomena is the sudden "freezing" of he computer where nothing works and the only way to "solve" the problem is to press the computer button and hold it until the computer shuts down. I then restart the computer and all works well until the next time. As this only happens when I'm working on the computer (and not while the computer is idle) I am deliberating whether it is a hardware or software problem. My deep suspicions are the something in Kubuntu is malfunctioning. Maybe people here know about this. I use Kubuntu 12.10 with all upgrades as they come out. My computer is quite old.
