[Solved] OpenOffice 3.0 crashes when Writer, Calc, etc. runs

Odd-rationale · 2008-10-10 21:41:26

Hello!

My openoffice-base just got updated to 3.0. If I run

/opt/openoffice/program/soffice

the menu loads fine.

But once I try to start any of the components - Writer, Calc, Present, etc. - it crashes and gives me the OO Recover Document Dialog. If I press continue to try to recover the document, it crashes again and presents the recovery dialog again. I tried starting the components from soffice, soffice -writer, and swriter. All give the same results. I already have done "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome" and added it to my .bashrc.

Here is the message I get when it crashes:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException'

Any help would be appreciated!

This is a reoccurring problem throughout the history of OpenOffice (search for the error for examples). Most of the threads that I saw recommended renaming or removing any personal settings folders (~/.openoffice.org, ~/.openoffice2, etc.) and starting new. Other threads that I saw suggested that somehow the personal settings folder or the files within became owned by root. All of the threads I saw led back to the person settings file.

Oh, yes. I forgot to mention. I tried deleting the ~/.openoffice directory already...

I even tried rebooting...

A search in the forums would have given you this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=56713

See if it works.

Xinix: Did you even read his post?

Same issue here.

edit:
I have also tried to remove ~/.openoffice.org and it doesn't work.

EDIT2!:
I think it is missing dependency problem. I have clean openbox on my machine, and after installing gnome group (`pacman -S gnome`) `soffice -writer` starts without any message about recovery. I' ve done some additional tests and now I am quite sure, that the missing dep is libxslt. Install it and check if OOO will start without "recovery crash".

PS Sorry for my grammar

Sounds uncomfortably like my problem: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=56745

3.0 isn't yet ready for use ...

omg omg omg

you're right

libxslt is missing. ooo3 is working fine now. thx a lot for figuring this out

Allan · 2008-10-11 11:15:53

Great - someone file a bug report about the missing dep.

I've found that error to occur when you don't "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome".

Allan · 2008-10-11 11:40:51

Doing an "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome" should fix those messages.

Wow. installing libxslt works!!! Thanks so much, mruwek!

And thanks to all of you that helped out!

FenDanT · 2008-10-11 15:23:39

Hey all

Not for me

Llama · 2008-10-11 15:26:46

There's libxslt installed

# export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome

passed uneventfully

Still freezing

FenDanT · 2008-10-11 15:30:42

Hey all

same here

Nothing works...

mruwek · 2008-10-11 18:19:39

@FenDanT, Llama
I think you are talking about another bug.

@Llama
Why you use root to do `export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome`? And do you run `soffice` from terminal in which you have this variable exported?

colbert · 2008-10-11 20:10:27

So one must have the export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome setting to run OO 3? The beauty of OO was I could happily use dark GTK themes all this time and run OO with a bright clean visible interface nevertheless. Is this absolutely not possible anymore? It will have to take on the GTK theme in use?

OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome -> no problems

You haven't done your homework. The kde integration option has been removed and exporting OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome is highly recommended. In other words, don't blame anyone if your OpenOffice crashes without that export.
