sosreport generated after installing RHEL 9.1 on a Parallels VM
The Gnome desktop environment on aarch64 remains in tech preview status for RHEL8.2+ and RHEL9.0+. Only a subset of applications are intended to work as defined in our documentation here https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html/9.0_release_notes/technology_previews#technology-preview_desktop . Red Hat will evaluate more feature support for the 64 bit arm architecture on a system by system basis over time. |
Description of problem: libreoffice always fails to start: $ libreoffice no suitable windowing system found, exiting. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libreoffice-7.1.8.1-8.el9_1.aarch64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RHEL 9, ensuring that libreoffice is included: autocorr-en-7.1.8.1-8.el9_1 libreoffice-calc-7.1.8.1-8.el9_1 libreoffice-core-7.1.8.1-8.el9_1 libreoffice-data-7.1.8.1-8.el9_1 libreoffice-graphicfilter-7.1.8.1-8.el9_1 libreoffice-help-en-7.1.8.1-8.el9_1 libreoffice-impress-7.1.8.1-8.el9_1 libreoffice-langpack-en-7.1.8.1-8.el9_1 libreoffice-ogltrans-7.1.8.1-8.el9_1 libreoffice-opensymbol-fonts-7.1.8.1-8.el9_1 libreoffice-pdfimport-7.1.8.1-8.el9_1 libreoffice-pyuno-7.1.8.1-8.el9_1 libreoffice-ure-7.1.8.1-8.el9_1 libreoffice-ure-common-7.1.8.1-8.el9_1 libreoffice-writer-7.1.8.1-8.el9_1 2. Open a gnome-terminal window 3. Ruin libreoffice Actual results: no suitable windowing system found, exiting. Expected results: libreofice should run Additional info: It happens because no GUI plugin is found, as show in the code, in vcl/source/app/salplug.cxx: 228-SalInstance *CreateSalInstance() 229-{ 230- SalInstance *pInst = nullptr; 231- 232- OUString aUsePlugin; 233- rtl::Bootstrap::get("SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN", aUsePlugin); 234- SAL_INFO_IF(!aUsePlugin.isEmpty(), "vcl", "Requested VCL plugin: " << aUsePlugin); 235-#ifdef HEADLESS_VCLPLUG 236- if (Application::IsBitmapRendering() || (aUsePlugin.isEmpty() && IsHeadlessModeRequested())) 237- aUsePlugin = "svp"; 238-#endif 239- 240- if (aUsePlugin == "svp") 241- { 242- Application::EnableBitmapRendering(); 243-#ifndef HEADLESS_VCLPLUG 244- aUsePlugin.clear(); 245-#endif 246- } 247- if( !aUsePlugin.isEmpty() ) 248- pInst = tryInstance( aUsePlugin, true ); 249- 250-#ifdef DESKTOPDETECT 251- if( ! pInst ) 252- pInst = autodetect_plugin(); 253-#endif 254- 255- // fallback, try everything 256- static const char* const pPlugin[] = { 257-#ifdef _WIN32 258- "win" 259-#else 260-#ifdef MACOSX 261- "osx" 262-#else 263- "gtk3", "kf5", "gen" 264-#endif 265-#endif 266- }; 267- 268- for ( int i = 0; !pInst && i != SAL_N_ELEMENTS(pPlugin); ++i ) 269- pInst = tryInstance( OUString::createFromAscii( pPlugin[ i ] ) ); 270- 271- if( ! pInst ) 272- { 273: std::fprintf( stderr, "no suitable windowing system found, exiting.\n" ); 274- _exit( 1 ); 275- } 276- 277- // acquire SolarMutex 278- pInst->AcquireYieldMutex(); 279- 280- return pInst; 281-} and confirmed via strace: $ strace -fvyyo /tmp/libreoffice.strace --trace=openat libreoffice no suitable windowing system found, exiting. $ grep libvclplug_ /tmp/libreoffice.strace 11439 openat(AT_FDCWD</home/bashuser>, "/usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/libvclplug_gtk3lo.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 11439 openat(AT_FDCWD</home/bashuser>, "/usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/libvclplug_genlo.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 11439 openat(AT_FDCWD</home/bashuser>, "/usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/libvclplug_gtk3lo.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 11439 openat(AT_FDCWD</home/bashuser>, "/usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/libvclplug_kf5lo.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 11439 openat(AT_FDCWD</home/bashuser>, "/usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/libvclplug_genlo.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
