Ubuntu 24.04 reboots during calc paste

Note to self: Remind me to NEVER update two things at once.

I updated my ubuntu 20.04 to 24.04 as a clean install. I also reinstalled LO (now version 24.2.6.2, was 7.6x) and noticed that spreadsheets were extremely slow to load and save.

In working with the spreadsheet I pasted 55000 rows over top of data in another spreadsheet. The paste was extremely slow - many minutes. And Ubuntu did a reboot in the middle of the paste.

So I decided to reinstall (uninstall and install) the latest stable version in the Ubuntu App store: 24.8.2.1 to see if it was the LO version. Same result except no reboot. Still very slow.

I picked one rather large spreadsheet (9 Sheets, 2 with over 55000 rows, many formulas and vlookups, and a pivot table) and did some timings. Both 24 versions of LO were close in time to load: 5 minutes !

Wow,. And a save was over 3 minutes (no backup copy being made).

So i moved the file to my test machine - virtually identical except for the drives - which had LO 7.3 installed. Open time was 55s and save was 2 minutes.

So I uninstalled version 24 and installed 7.6.7.2 on my main machine. Load time: 43s, but save time 3 minutes.

I always like to keep versions up to date, but there seems to be some interaction between Ubuntu 24LTS and LO 24x.

Any thoughts on how to resolve or if others are seing the same thing.

Please, call menu:Help>About… click the copy button in the middle of the dialog and paste here.

This is a database actually.

Villeroy,

Here is the current one, but I have reinstalled 7.6 so doe not necessarily represent the problem situation

Version: 7.6.7.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: dd47e4b30cb7dab30588d6c79c651f218165e3c5
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

If it’s better, when I finish my current edits, I can reinstall 24.2 or 24.8 and resend it.

It would have been important to know, if the faulty version was a container or not (flatpak or something).
In order to install the most recent release, I recommend not to use the container version distributed by Ubuntu. Install downloaded Debian packages from libreoffice.org instead.

Andreas,

I suspect it is a container version such as snap.

I will try a direct download and let you know. Probably won’t be until next week though.
