Good afternoon,

Libreoffice started crashing when I try to start it on the display :0.1, since the last update. I have dual screen Nvidia layout (using proprietary driver, separate X screens and disabled Xinerama). Starting libreoffice on display :0.0 works just fine.

(soffice:31950): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_screen_get_monitor_geometry: assertion `monitor_num < screen_x11->n_monitors' failed

(soffice:31950): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_screen_get_monitor_geometry: assertion `monitor_num < screen_x11->n_monitors' failed The program 'soffice' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 923 error_code 8 request_code 62 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is anyone having the same issue?

I have checked on LibreOffice bugzilla, and there isn't anything like that. Should I place a bug there, or could it be something that might only happen on Arch?

By the way, does anyone know how to switch displays? I'd like my big screen to be the :0.0, and not the smaller screen on the laptop.

Best regards, Vitor

Hi I'm having exactly the same issue regarding LibreOffice (v3.5). I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 64bit, with Compiz running fine and fast, and both screen desktop cubes without trouble. (Not Xinerama, but separate screens) The only difference is that the serial error number is 354 instead of 923, but I think it's not very important. By the way, OpenOffice v3.2.1 runs perfect on both displays (one display at a time, but I can select :D ). Regards. - S -

I have exactly the same problem on Arch linux with libreoffice 3.5.2. I cannot use it on DISPLAY=:0.1, but it works fine on DISPLAY=:0.0. I have already filed a bug, but since they sent no notification by email, I cannot for the life of me locate it. This is massively annoying. I use lowriter on screen 2 and my web browser on screen 1 to write papers and such, and now I cant.
