Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 11695
644m1 install but doesn't start on Debian ...
Last modified: 2003-03-13 11:09:12 UTC
I installed the current 644_m1 on my Debian system (mostly woody but some unstable components, therefore libc6 2.3.1-13). The installation is fine (tetwork, then root, then ma as ordinary user). However, starting the ~/Openoffice644/soffice program neer returns : the system eats some CPU time for about 3 seconds, then .. nothing. ps shows three to five processes (threads, I suppose ...). eating some memory but no CPU time. I straced this : it seems that soffice waits a system call (dont ask me what, I dunno ...). killall soffice.bin kills all but one soffice.bin processes/threads; which needs killall -KILL. Of course, this renders 644_m1 totally useless on my system. Not being the gdb type, I'm unable to guess the reason on this behaviour. I'll try to send the strace (ISR that one can append a file to an already-filed issue ...). Could you please CC me your thoughs on this ? I'm following only dba (and tis is more than enough for me ...).
Created attachment 4815 [details] gzipped strace of an attempt to run 644_m1 on Debian
I just verified that the newer 644m4 snapshot exhibits the very same problem (same symptoms, same cure). Hope this helps ...
I take care. Peter
We don't run on glibc 2.3.1 because of a problem in the glibc. Peter *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 10210 ***
