 Posted: Tue Jan 24, 2006 2:28 pm Post subject: NeoOffice starts only within terminal |
|
Hi everybody!
I have a weird problem with NeoOffice. I cannot start it with a double click on it's application icon anymore. On a second account it works like a charm.
When I call soffice.bin - within NeoOffice's package - in a terminal instead it starts up flawlessly. I tried to remove the preferences, too. No luck.
I have to say that my current JDK is set to 1.5. But on the other hand this is a system wide setting which should affect the second account, too. So this shouldn't be the problem.
My system is Mac OSX 10.4.4 with Java 1.3.1, 1.4.2 and 1.5.0 installed.
I have compared the javarc in ~/Library/Preferences/NeoOffice-1.x/user/config with my second (working) account's javarc. They are different. But replacing my javarc with that one didn't help.
Here the javarc of the working account:
| Code: |
[Java]
RuntimeLib=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/JavaVM
com.apple.hwaccel=false

Maybe someone can find the problematic setting. I think my account has some weird setting which rattens NeoOffice's startup. But I've couldn't track it down.
Hope to get some suggestions how to fix my problem.
Best regards,

|
Sorry, I've forgotten to say that the console just prints Application error (NeoOffice 1.2beta) when I try to start NeoOffice with a double click. With NeoOffice 1.1 I got image not found.
Currently I have NeoOffice 1.2Beta + Patch 5 installed.
Best regards,

The javarc on your broken installation does not appear to running the latest Patch-5 code. If it did, you would see the following line near the top of the file:
| Code: | | RuntimeLib=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Libraries/libjvm.dylib |
I suspect that the javarc file is not getting updated because your Java 1.4.2 installation is corrupted. To verify if this is true, can you execute the following two commands in a terminal and post the output?:
| Code: | | /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Commands/java -version |
| Code: | | ls -l /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Libraries/libjvm.dylib |

This definately sounds like an improper Java install. These two commands should result in:
Java 1.4.2_09.....
BTW, there should be a _10 release.....
and the libjvm.dylib file should exist.

Superb! Thx! Thx! Thx!
I've tested my Java 1.4.2 installation as you described it. It's ok. So I've updated the javarc directly. Et voilà ! Fixing the RuntimeLib setting solves my problem with NeoOffice.
Why NeoOffice is generating that broken javarc I don't know. There must something wrong with my Java environment - the heck with it! Most importantly NeoOffice is working again. Now I can look for that problem without ruffle but that's not a problem which I want to bother you with.
Thank you a lot!

I suspect that the script that updates this file is failing. Can you execute the following command in a terminal and post the output?:
| Code: | | sh -x /Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/setup |

Shame on me! 
You've been right. I installed patch 5 but I forgot to clean the preferences (I did it several times after the problem occurred under NeoOffice 1.1 and after upgrading from 1.1 to 1.2b, but not after applying patch 5 ). After I removed the preferences and started up NeoOffice 1.2b5 it has written the correct RuntimeLib into the javarc. Now it starts up smoothly (+fast  ).
I thought that I tried all different combinations.
Sorry and really really thank you for your help,
Thomasa
PS: Ok, my second account has worked out-of-the-box with NeoOffice 1.1, 1.2b and 1.2b5. So there must be something different between the Java environments of the two accounts. But hey! NeoOffice 1.2b5 is working - that's all what counts. |

There's nothing to be sorry about as NeoOffice is supposed to overwrite the javarc file every time is starts. Maybe there was some permissions problem with the file? Who knows. But if it happens again, please run the "sh -x ..." command the I listed and file a bug with the output as you probably stumbled upon a rare bug but a bug nevertheless.
