Bug in Kernel: OpenOffice doesn't work any more

[enrico65]

Hi Folks!

I have installed Desktop Fresh R8.1 to R10 on several machines. Unfortunately OpenOffice doesn't work any more since version 3.2.1. This is the last release you can install on ROSA and which works properly. Newer releases produce a segmentation fault when started. The same issue occurred on openSUSE last year (kernel-bug 1045340):

I posted this issue here:

Is there any fix available?

regards

Hello.

try to install package lib64gdk_pixbuf_xlib2.0_0 and then re-run OpenOffice. This package is usual absent on most of Rosa distributive in default installation. Please try latest version of ApacheOpenoffice 4.1.5

Installation could be done like this:

Код: Выделить всё

$ tar -xvf pache_OpenOffice_4.1.5_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz
$ cd ./en-US/RPMS
# urpmi ./.*rpm

But in current case the LIbreOffice must not be presented in system.

Also you could unpack OpenOffice to local directory:

Код: Выделить всё

$ mkdir ./temp
$ cd ./temp
$ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/openofficeorg.mirror/4.1.5/binaries/en-US/Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.5_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz
$ tar -xvf Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.5_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz
$ cd ./en-US/RPMS
$ for i in ./*.rpm; do rpm2cpio $i | cpio -idvm; done

and then run it

Код: Выделить всё

$ cd ./opt/openoffice4/program
$ ./soffice

To install Apache OpenOffice 4.1.5 simultaneously with LibreOffice the following sequence of command could be done (en-US could be changed to appropriate localization or language pack could be installed later):

Код: Выделить всё

$ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/openofficeorg.mirror/4.1.5/binaries/en-US/Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.5_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz
$ tar -xvf Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.5_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz
$ cd ./en-US/RPMS

then make under the root:

Код: Выделить всё

# rpm -i *.rpm
# cd ./desktop-integration
# rpm -i openoffice4.1.5-freedesktop-menus-4.1.5-9789.noarch.rpm --excludepath=/usr/bin/soffice

The last command will install program menu icons (but not the /usr/bin/soffice symlink) and them will be displayed in this menu. File association will bound with OpenOffice until libreoffice-common package will be reinstalled or updated. Also the opening of files will be available through context menu via "Open with..." dialogue.
