Have you tried posting this on the OOo users' list? It may not be a
specific issue with Ubuntu.

I use LibreOffice on Ubuntu 10.10 x64 and have few problems with it,
though not none and the ones I do see tend to be nasty (like running a
.pps file and having it kill my X-server).

Also, which release of OO are you using? 3.2.1 seems to be fairly
stable, whereas 3.3 (which was just released) may not be.

The "freeze" problems I wrote about in my previous message have become
manifest after the upgrade to Maverick. That's why I address the
questions about them to the Ubuntu and Kubuntu user lists. However,
your idea to also write to some OO user list or forum, is also a good
one.

I am using 3.2.1. - the "stable" release that has come with the
regular edition of Kubuntu Maverick.

Respectfully yours,

Bas.

You might want to keep an eye on memory usage while using OO. It may
be that with Maverik something else has a larger memory footprint and
your netbook is running out of memory. Do you have swap space enabled?
