Do you have an S3 chip? If so, this is a duplicate of issue 2108. The soution for #2108 is to enable the workaround: export SAL_DO_NOT_USE_INVERT50=true soffice or to update your graphics driver, or to upgrade to XFree 4.2. Chris The machine runs on a Trident 9660 chip, so I figure this is not a duplicate of 2108. Also, in contrast to #2108, my machine does not hang, only my X-session is terminated, I return to my gdm-login screen. Furthermore, as opposed to t 2108, the machine did run StarOffice 6beta without problems. I'll try the solution for the bug nonetheless, though. An other possibility I've been pondering on is that my font server is botched. The X option is a good one also. I'm running X4.1 on a redhat 7.2 system with a 2.4.17 kernel if I remember correctly. I'll check into it and let you know. Ok. I sanitized my X, which was pretty necessary, as I was running 3.3.6 in stead of 4.1 However, it did nothing to better the problem. I'm running xfs with only the standard X fonts now, no differance. I tried setting the SAL_DO_NOT_USE_INVERT50 variable to true -- no differance. Also I would like to stress that not only the soffice.bin binary, but also spadmin and setup now crash the system in the same way soffice does, almost upon completion of startup (the splash screen has been --- HOLD. I've just found the problem. It's in the windowmanager. I run blackbox on this system as it's not the newest anymore, but have WindowMaker installed, I just ran it on a hunch and started OpenOffice, no problems. It seems blackbox-0.65.0alpha8 and OpenOffice 1.0 are conflicting. I'll take it up with the blackbox mantainers and try installing an older or newer version of blackbox, to see if it's for this version specific (which, of course, is an alpha version) or an generic blackbox-OpenOffice problem. . |
