Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 5303
Removing toolbars, opening files as non root user crashes OO
Last modified: 2003-05-20 16:36:33 UTC
If I try to remove a toolbar or open certain documents in any part of Open Office 1.0 when running as a normal user, the application crashes with "An unrecoverable error has occured". Some documents will load ok but then crash when scrolling through them. The problems do not occur when running OO as root. I am running Gentoo Linux on an IA32 machine.
Nick, thanks for taking the time to post this issue. Does this problem still occur with OOo 1.0.1? What type of installation did you use for OOo? In the setup manual, it's best to install OOo using the multiuser procedure. http://documentation.openoffice.org/setup_guide/index.html
Did you install OpenOffice with "setup" as root and then use it with a normal user account? Currently this is not possible as the Office needs write access to some folder in the OpenOffice installation directory. So you should install it as root only with "setup -net" to have a network installation and then every user should make a normal workstation installation.
not a porting issue AFAICT
Not reproducible, neither with a OO 1.0.1, OO 1.0.2 nor with a more recent 644 build ! Due to the fact, that Carstens question wasn´t answered, I close this one as "worksforme".
This task is fixed or worked in OOo 1.1 beta2.
