Description Paul F. Johnson 2005-03-22 15:22:18 UTC

Description of problem:
All main components within OOo (draw, impress, writer, calc, math) fail to start
from either the gnome menu icon or from a command line.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

3.
  
Actual results:
From the command line, the error "no suitable windowing system found. exiting"

Additional info:
I'm using rawhide with the latest xorg and a gnome desktop environment. Using
kernel 2.6.11-1.1185_FC4

1.9.87-2 should unblock this

Comment 5 Caolan McNamara 2005-03-24 13:37:38 UTC

works for me(tm) with 1.9.87-2

Comment 6 Demond James 2005-03-25 14:54:22 UTC

Still no luck with openoffice.org-1:1.9.87-2

[lanos ~]$ oowriter
javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment! 
no suitable windowing system found, exiting.
[lanos ~]$ rpm -q openoffice.org-writer
openoffice.org-writer-1.9.87-2

Comment 7 Caolan McNamara 2005-03-29 11:18:52 UTC

can you do
> rpm -q startup-notification
and
> rpm -q libgcj
and what's your desktop gnome or kde ?

Comment 8 Demond James 2005-03-29 13:59:37 UTC

I'm running gnome

[lanos ~]$ rpm -q startup-notification
startup-notification-0.8-2
[lanos ~]$ rpm -q libgcj              
libgcj-4.0.0-0.37

Comment 9 Caolan McNamara 2005-03-29 14:08:15 UTC

strange, I've got those and openoffice.org-core 1.9.87-2 and I'm not seeing a
"no suitable windowing system" error, or the "Could not find a JRE error", which
should be more of a warning than a fatal error.

Comment 10 Demond James 2005-03-29 14:18:40 UTC

I did a fresh install with FC4 test1 x86_64 DVD iso and have been keeping the
system up to date with  Rawhide.  OO.o has been giving that error form day 1. 
Let my know if there is anything else that you want me to run/do.

Comment 11 Demond James 2005-03-29 14:21:24 UTC

[lanos ~]$ yum list all libgcj

libgcj.x86_64                            4.0.0-0.37             installed

should the i386 version be available in the x86_64 tree?

I had the "no suitable windowing system" problem on my x86_64 rawhide box until
I installed startup-notification.i386 just now.  The JRE error I got past by
installing the j2re.i586 package from the dag repository.

Comment 13 Demond James 2005-04-02 14:39:16 UTC

Just installing startup-notification.i386 worked for me.  I still get the
javaldx warning but I think it was pointed out that that's no biggie.
