Description Paul F. Johnson 2005-08-16 22:34:31 UTC
Description of problem:
Starting any OOo application up from the command line or gnome short cuts causes
a hang during the boot up "screen" at about 50% completetion

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.9.124

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade and start any OOo application
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Hangs at 50% during start up

Expected results:
Should start as usual

Additional info:
The problem lies in ~/.openoffice.org2.0 somewhere. If you hose the existing
one, everything starts happily.

Comment 1 Ulrich Drepper 2005-08-17 06:54:31 UTC
I see the same.  On i386 and (using x86 binaries) x86-64.

Attaching to the process with strace shows this:

lseek(92, 14060, SEEK_SET)              = 14060
lseek(92, 0, SEEK_CUR)                  = 14060
read(92, "", 1024)                      = 0
lseek(92, 14060, SEEK_SET)              = 14060
lseek(92, 0, SEEK_CUR)                  = 14060
read(92, "", 1024)                      = 0

Over and over again.  That file descriptor is opened for

~/.openoffice.org2.0/user/psprint/pspfontcache

Comment 2 Paul F. Johnson 2005-08-17 07:19:50 UTC
Purely out of interest, why does hosing the existing .openoffice2.0 and
regenerating it stop this problem?

Comment 3 Caolan McNamara 2005-08-17 08:18:33 UTC
because one of the patches changed the pspfontcache format, then another patch
got merged into upstream making this patch look like it was already applied, but
only part of it was applied, grr. So pspfontcache format writtern by previous
OOo's didn't match the current ones expectations.

Should be fixable, but something to very much keep an eye on port integration of
upstream workspace vcl39

1.9.124-2

Confirmed fixed, thanks!
