Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 109682
Launching OO 3.2 crashes on sigsegv (QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty warnings)
Last modified: 2014-02-11 21:11:53 UTC
I have just installed on FC12 OpenOffice 3.2 from openoffice.org. Version 3.1.1 installed in the same way was working fine. When running version 3.2, I get the following lines and nothing more than the splash screen : /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice: line 131: 10510 Erreur de segmentation "$sd_prog/$sd_binary" "$@" This happens with my regular account, running a simple window manager and not the full gnome or kde desktop. However, the crash does not happen when logged in with a user running under gnome. It also does not happen if I 'su - <my account>' from this gnomed user and start then soffice. Seems like an error code has not been properly checked. Regards, -- Thierry

@ bloody95: Please give a hint what window manager you use. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 109719 ***
Reopening because I've clicked nonsense.
I am using fvwm95-2 (fvwm95-2.0.43b-1 more specifically). I kbnow, that's a thing of the past, but running gnome or kde on some of my machines is no way (not enough memory). Anyway, this used to work on OO 3.1.1. Regards
An additional note : In case fvwm95 looks a little bit too exotic, I have also made the test with twm (yum install twm), which is the plain old standard window manager for X11 and got the same issue. Best regards, -- Thierry
This is vanilla OOo, not the specific Fedora one, so its not an issue specific to the Fedora rpms. The warnings look vaguely like they might be from the KDE integration. Though whether those are related to the final crash is another thing.
Any news on this ?
Installed FC 12. Got twm (there is no fvwm95 package via yum, and I'm not going to compile one). Seems the twm package comes with a system.twmrc in /etc/X11/twm but not a link to there from /usr/lib/X11/twm. Anyway the only thing twm manages to do when it finally finds its own config file is not to be able to open its preferred font set. Trying to find a suitable one with xlsfonts crashes the X server, apparently somwhere in freetype. That was the point where I stopped bothering for the time being.
Hi, Here are my installed fonts (rpm -qa | grep xorg-x11): xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi-7.2-9.fc12.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-15-100dpi-7.2-9.fc12.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-misc-7.2-9.fc12.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi-7.2-9.fc12.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi-7.2-9.fc12.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi-7.2-9.fc12.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-15-75dpi-7.2-9.fc12.noarch I don't remember having configured anything special once these fonts were installed. Regards, -- Thierry
I took some time tonight to look at the differences between a successful launch and a failing one (using strace). When launching 3.2 from a gnome session (sucessful launch), the following access is done : open("/opt/openoffice.org/basis3.2/program/libvclplug_gtkli.so", O_RDONLY) = 3 When launching from the legacy window manager (failure), the following access is done : open("/opt/openoffice.org/basis3.2/program/libvclplug_kdeli.so", O_RDONLY) = 3 So, it seems that OO is considering that it runs in a KDE environment, which it does not. From then, the loaded libraries are completely different. Maybe should I reinstall 3.1.1 and check where the paths begin to diverge. Regards
