Description Horst H. von Brand 2011-03-17 13:29:26 UTC

Description of problem:
I'm running XFCE, there some Gnome applications work funny.

I tried to open a CSV file via "oocalc xxx.csv", the "import file" window opened, I could select the options I wanted, but then nothing whatsoever.

Later I tried "oocalc something.xls", nothing. Plain "oocalc" or "Open file"/"New spreadsheet" from the quickstarter gave nothing.

I looked around, and "pgrep soffice" found two processes, one soffice and a soffice.bin. Believing they were somehow stuck, I killed the first one (it seems to have been the quickstarter), and tried again to open the .xls, which succeded.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libreoffice-calc-3.3.1.2-6.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
Seemingly always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. oocalc somefile.xls
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Program returns immediately

Expected results:
Open the spreadsheet

Additional info:
I've got LOo crashes, but to report them via abrt I've to download some 800 MiB (!) of debug info, which installs to 3 GiB or so (!!). Will see if it gets the right versions this round..

Comment 1 Horst H. von Brand 2011-03-17 14:18:28 UTC

I installed the debuginfo packages as told, but the backtrace turns out unusable all the same :-(
Running abrt-gui, it is now getting an extra set of debuginfos (?)...

Comment 2 Horst H. von Brand 2011-03-17 14:27:56 UTC

Two rounds of "debuginfo-install libreoffice-core" gave no usable backtrace, and no missing debuginfos.

Comment 3 Horst H. von Brand 2011-03-17 19:18:27 UTC

I stand corrected: Something really was wedged, starting oocalc (and others) restarted the Quickstarter, and now it works as intended.

Comment 4 Caolan McNamara 2011-03-17 20:26:08 UTC

I have no control over debuginfo packages or abrt unfortunately. So, is there now a known reproducible scenario here that I can do something about ?

Comment 5 Horst H. von Brand 2011-03-18 13:22:35 UTC

I just tried again, now it works fine. Just that if I do "oocalc somefile.ods" the program exits immediately (but a window shows up soon).

Seems I've wasted your time here... :-(

Comment 6 Caolan McNamara 2011-03-18 13:56:04 UTC

I'm sure there is a bug in here somewhere, but its a matter of fighting battles again reproducible enemies :-)
