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.
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
Purely out of interest, why does hosing the existing .openoffice2.0 and regenerating it stop this problem?
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!
