    Openoffice.org Kaput in tribe 3


    Re: Openoffice.org Kaput in tribe 3

    Hi this is now fixed by apt-get install openoffice.org-gnome thanks to mbjsscn2 in this thread


    Hi
    with the last updates in tribe 3 the openoffice package is broken, despite removal and reinstall.
    Was working fine before, so guess the new package is kaput.
    It first starts a flash screen, which freezes, this closes on clicking and then the menu won't load not a peep!

    31/7/07 Oh well a few days now that openoffice has been kaput, and though many updates, the crucial new libgtk has not appeared so guess this must be a difficult bit of programming to achieve.
    Oh well some day before October perhaps.

    Re: Openoffice.org Kaput in tribe 3

    Has nobody else noticed noticed openoffice is kaput?
    It happened on a native install of tribe 3 and an apt-get dist-upgrade of tribe 2 (in essence the same thing?on 2x installations.?)
    Not many seem to be testing the Alpha releases yet, and if one does it is certainly throwing up a few problems, especially the updates.
    However it is shaping up to be a great release, despite the hiccups.

      Sorry for spoiling your party, but on my test system (updated last today), Open Office works as expected.

        I am getting the same behavior. Updated today.
        When I try and open a oo odt I made yesterday it starts the usual oo2.2 screen (I wouldn't call it flash), tries to open an empty document window which hangs and when I click on the desktop the oo2.2 screen disappears leaving a locked empty document screen.

          Thank you very much, but its no party, I foolishly saved some docos in oo format on gutsy, more fool me, and oo certainly works no more on my desktop, Ho Hum no more partying with this alpha stuff.
          It certainly worked before todays updates, but perhaps we reside on different sides of the international dateline so beware.
          Good luck to you if it still works on your system.

              @zorro: Your welcome.
              Just a bit of advice. Keep your data on a separate partition. That way they are still usable with another OS (pclinuxos in my case). Gutsy is still alpha and will evolve. In fact this is the first real "issue" I have had with it.

                    Re: Openoffice.org Kaput in tribe 3

                    Same here Open office doesn't work.

                    After having launched it I have 3 processes running:

                    $ ps -eafwww | grep open
                    kalman 21771 21770 0 17:58 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/openoffice/program/ooqstart -writer
                    kalman 21773 1 0 17:58 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice -writer -splash-pipe=5
                    kalman 21788 21773 95 17:58 ? 00:00:14 /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin -writer -splash-pipe=5

                    Now this is what strace say about the 3 processes:
                    $ strace -p 21773
                    Process 21773 attached - interrupt to quit
                    wait4(-1, <unfinished ...>
                    Process 21773 detached

                    $ strace -p 21788
                    Process 21788 attached - interrupt to quit
                    Process 21788 detached

                    $ strace -p 21771
                    Process 21771 attached - interrupt to quit
                    nanosleep({0, 20000000}, NULL) = 0
                    write(5, "8\2\4\0\2\0\0\3\4\0\0\0\323\323\323\0C\0\5\0\1\0\ 0\3\2"..., 72) = 72
                    ioctl(5, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0
                    poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}], 1, 0) = 0
                    nanosleep({0, 20000000}, NULL) = 0
                    write(5, "8\2\4\0\2\0\0\3\4\0\0\0\323\323\323\0C\0\5\0\1\0\ 0\3\2"..., 72) = 72
                    ioctl(5, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0
                    poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}], 1, 0) = 0
                    nanosleep({0, 20000000}, <unfinished ...>
                    Process 21771 detached

                    and so on.

                    Trying to launch that processes with same argument by a shell I obtain:

                    $ /bin/sh /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice -writer -splash-pipe=5

                      Re: Openoffice.org Kaput in tribe 3

                      It's been reported on launchpad at least once:
                      https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...g2/+bug/127944

                      Judging by the error, it looks like a glib related issue.

                      I can confirm the report (and the error message) on my gutsy machine.

                          Boot from a Live CD, open the docs, and save them back in a different format, if you need access to the data quickly.

                              Hi Animal BRILLIANT this actually works, it is an older file it seems, but better!
                              kpackage installed the deb file without complaint.
                              Now I see some more updates in adept, which I look at with considerable trepidation, as they currently break more than they fix.
                              Oh well that is the adventure of Alpha releases, but on apt-get update I see many repos are still not synched---maybe I will wait.
                              Thanx again
