Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 5931
OpenOffice systematically crashes
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:56:16 UTC
First installation: went without a hitch, but when i try to open any menu OO crashes brining my KDE and X with it. Using Writer without the menus seems to work but every time I tried to use a menu X crashes. My system:Linux version 2.2.16-3smp (root@porky.devel.redhat.com) (gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)) #1 SMP Mon Jun 19 19:00:35 EDT 2000 I am previous user of StartOffice versions 5.0-5.2 and everything works fine there. OO is an utter disgrace to the opensoucre community! It just seems that the quality of open software keeps getting worse and worse!!!!!
I'm sorry to that you have so much frustration with OOo. Does this problem still exist with OOo 1.0.1? Do you have any error logs you can send us? What type of install option did you use to install OOo?
If you didn't uninstall StarOffice or previous versions of OpenOffice, I can see having a problem. If you have any thing left over from those two, I would uninstall and delete them as well as the current OpenOffice and try reinstalling OpenOffice.
Closing the issue for now. User can reopen issue if the problem still exists with a newer build.
As mentioned on the qa dev list on March 5th I will close all resolved <wontfix/duplicate/worksforme/invalid> issues. Please see this posting for details. First step in IssueZilla is unfortunately to set them to verified.
