Hello Daniel, *,
first thank you for your nice extension But I discovered a reproducible crash on Debian Testing AMD64:
Start LO
Go to “Tools - LanguageTool - Options…” (in German: “Extras - LanguageTool - Optionen”
Click on “Help” (German: “Hilfe”)
LO crashes immediately …
OS: Debian Testing AMD64
LO: Version: 5.1.5.2
Build-ID: 1:5.1.5~rc2-1
CPU-Threads: 4; BS-Version: Linux 4.5; UI-Render: GL;
Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); Calc: group
(Debian’s own version)
This is not reproducible with a parallel installed
LO: Version: 5.1.5.2
Build-ID: 7a864d8825610a8c07cfc3bc01dd4fce6a9447e5
CPU-Threads: 4; BS-Version: Linux 4.5; UI-Render: Standard;

nor
LO: Version: 5.2.0.4
Build-ID: 066b007f5ebcc236395c7d282ba488bca6720265
CPU-Threads: 4; BS-Version: Linux 4.5; UI-Render: Standard;
Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8)
(both parallel installed, following the instructions from Installing in parallel/Linux - The Document Foundation Wiki)
… All three versions have the LanguageTool 3.4 extension installed. The tow last versions however spit out a longish Java warning but did not crash them. If you need this warning as well, I can send it to you …
When starting LO from command line, I get the message
Hello Daniel,
how do I attach screenshots to this platform? Do I need any special rights for it? Or should I send it to your @languagetool.org address?
Sorry for the inconvenience
Thomas.
I’m not sure why LO crashes, but LT show this error because it can’t start a browser to show the help. Is there a browser installed and is there a default browser, i.e. one that starts when you click on e.g. *.html files?
Hello Daniel, *,
thank you for your instruction to attach a screenshot There are a couple of browsers installed:
$ update-alternatives --display x-www-browser
x-www-browser - manual mode
link best version is /usr/bin/opera
link currently points to /usr/bin/firefox-esr
link x-www-browser is /usr/bin/x-www-browser
slave x-www-browser.1.gz is /usr/share/man/man1/x-www-browser.1.gz
/usr/bin/chromium - priority 40
/usr/bin/conkeror - priority 20
slave x-www-browser.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/conkeror.1.gz
/usr/bin/firefox-esr - priority 70
slave x-www-browser.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/firefox-esr.1.gz
/usr/bin/iceweasel - priority 70
slave x-www-browser.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/iceweasel.1.gz
/usr/bin/konqueror - priority 30
slave x-www-browser.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/konqueror.1.gz
/usr/bin/opera - priority 120
slave x-www-browser.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/opera.1.gz
As far as I understand it, the default browser is firefox-esr.
$ update-alternatives --display www-browser
www-browser - auto mode
link best version is /usr/bin/lynx
link currently points to /usr/bin/lynx
link www-browser is /usr/bin/www-browser
slave www-browser.1.gz is /usr/share/man/man1/www-browser.1.gz
/usr/bin/lynx - priority 40
slave www-browser.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/lynx.1.gz
seems to indicate that lynx is currently my default command line browser. Is there anything else what I can test to help you fix this? I have started Debian's LO with "--backtrace" (which leads to a direct crash and "--strace" (this results in an 16 MB file (bzip2''ed 1.6 MB)). Would this be helpful to attach here?
Have a nice day
Thomas.
The trace won’t help us, but maybe it will help LO. You might want to open an issue there. Which browser opens when you click an .html file on the desktop?
Hello Daniel,
maybe I report it to Debian’s bugtracker, as their version crashes but not LO’s own version …
When clicking on an htmll file on my system, firefox.esr (former IceWeasel) opens (or if already running on another workspace) a new tab is opened there.
Thanks for your time and work on my bug
Have a nice day
Thomas.
