From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: Just updated to: openoffice.org-core-1:2.0.1-143.2.1@i386 - after #171873 was closed, but this error message appears when trying to run OOo (half way into the splash screen loading process): The application cannot be started. Configuration - Descendant Element 'CrashReporter' not found in Node /org.openoffice.Office.Recovery It appears in an error message window and when run from virtual console it generates no output other than that error message Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-core-1:2.0.1-143.2.1@i386 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start open office 2. wait 3. read error message half way through the splash screen loading process Actual Results: error message occurs Expected Results: open office should start Additional info: openoffice always worked fine on this box, from RH7.3 to FC4 - no problems until #171873 - after which i had to revert to 1.9.x then that was solved and i updated only to get this error message
You reverted to 1.9.X from a 2.0.X, that's likely the problem. Can you > tar czf /tmp/oooprofile.tar.gz ~/.openoffice.org2.0 > rm ~/.openoffice.org2.0/user/registry/cache/org.openoffice.Office.Recovery.dat and then restart OOo and see if that makes a difference. If it doesn't, then if you could attach /tmp/oooprofile.tar.gz I'll see if I can reproduce the problem.
yup! nice one, sorted!! thx The first execution brought up the splash screen and the blue progress line went all the way but the writer app did not start, then i ran from cmd line to see output and it started just fine - then terminated that instance, started a new from desktop icon "openoffice.org-2.0 -writer". Running fine - of course it may be that the old random crashing persist - yet to determine that :)
I'm facing the same problem after the last up2date ran a couple of days ago. I tried to delete the whole .openoffice.org2.0 folder but that didn"t do much. Any other ideas?
Well you could rpm --erase `rpm -qf /usr/lib/openoffice.org2.0 | xargs` and then see if there is still a /usr/lib/openoffice.org2.0 directory, if so tar the contents up and attach them here, then rm -rf /usr/lib/openoffice.org2.0 and re-install the new version. Did you also revert to an older version and then forward to a newer one ? I've never seen this problem.
