PostPosted: Sun Nov 30, 2003 6:56 pm    Post subject: My OpenOffice v1.0.3 crashes a lot in v0.8.5.

I recently installed OroborOSX v0.8.5 for Fink v0.6.2.cvs, package manager v0.16.2, MacOS X 10.2.8 (not planning to upgrade to Panther), and gcc v3.3. I used to have Apple's X11 beta 3, but I accidently hosed it after upgrading Fink and some programs. Since Apple no longer has X11 beta 3 packages online and I have no backup of the installers, I was stuck and needed a new X11 and window manager. Someone told me to use XFree86, from Fink, and OroborOSX (because I loved Apple X11's design).

Anyways, I have a problem. I had OpenOffice v1.0.3 (X11; used its dmg file to install, not through Fink) for months. I had no problems. After I switched from Apple's X11 to OroborOSX v0.8.5, then I had problems. Opening my Word 2000 documents, with simple tables and formatting, cause crashes. Opening a simple text file and closing it, crashes OO. I never had these problems before.

Did I miss something when I switched window manager and X11? Am I supposed to do something? Also, this is on my one year old PowerBook G4 1 Ghz (512 MB of RAM; 15").

Thank you in advance. Smile

Hmm...do you have any crashlogs for a program named "soffice.bin"? OOo doesn't store anything in any of the fink or X11 directories...it's all self-contained within its application directory and a smattering of random garbage in the home directory.

By chance did you redo user accounts or anything during the rebuild process?

I did touch anything on accounts. I did remember running soffice from xterm which didn't show anything interesting. I am not if I want to copy and paste the whole console crash dump. Is that what you're looking for?

OK, I think I fixed it by uninstalling installed OpenOffice v1.0.3, deleting my preferences, and reinstalling OO. After setting everything up, OO seems to be happy now.

Ed, here is a dump when opening a simple, small text file and closing it (didn't change anything):

Just a little clarification for the future, should the need arise - what you pasted was the "console.log" - while this can be useful if something doesn't launch at all, what is more useful to the developers, and what Ed meant, is a CrashReporter log (I believe a single line entry is also made to the "console.log" when CrashReporter records a crash - in your case, I didn't see such an entry).

Look in either your Library/Logs/CrashReporter folder(s) or the system-wide Library/Logs/CrashReporter folder(s) for such logs - typically you would be looking for one labelled "soffice.bin".

Hope this helps.

Regards, Terry

Thanks. I didn't know this tip.
