Presentations2018 segmentation fault

Post by tjakobi »

Since yesterday I seem to not be able to start presentations anymore. All I get is a segfault:

Code: Select all

presentations18
/usr/bin/presentations18: line 5: 13007 Segmentation fault      /usr/share/office2018/presentations "$@"
I already tried reinstalling from the .deb package. I'm running Debian 8.6 64bit and use the 64bit version of the software, too.

I'd like to attach debug output, however, even that does not seem to work (segmentation fault and no log file).

Edit: was able to produce a log file with strace; bzipped version attached.

Thank You,
Tobias

Interestingly I also get a segmentation fault when using the 2016 version. However, I can start presentation16 normally. The segfault occurs reproducible always when I try to open the Options dialog.

Top line: 2018 version
Bottom line: 2016 version

Code: Select all

I could pinpoint the segfault to my multi-monitor setup.
Using 2 monitors next to each other presentation18 starts normally.
Adding a third monitor above presentation18 instantly crashes.

I have 4 monitors side by side. presentation18 crashes on startup.

Crash

If I disable two of my monitors, the program opens just fine.

Does it still crash with rev.933 (latest service pack)? If yes, could you please attach the crash report?

since rev.933, Presentations should offer to send a complete crash report (a zipped file with several files in it). Please send it to crashreport (at) softmaker.de. Thank you!

Softmaker crash reporter requires an email application to be set up in order to send the files. It does not otherwise provide access to the zip file that stores the files. My email client is entirely web-based, so I cannot use the crash reporter. Oh well.
