Description Nigel Horne 2006-10-06 19:58:10 UTC
Description of problem:

oobase fails to start
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openoffice.org-base-2.0.2-5.19.2

How reproducible:
Very

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start term
2. type oobase
3.
  
Actual results:
The program 'soffice.bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
  (Details: serial 83 error_code 1 request_code 145 minor_code 1)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)



Expected results:

oobase should start

That's fairly unusual, there's no other reports of this, and FC-5 has been
released for quite some time. Without any other information I would suspect that
something else has changed, not OOo itself. 

Any idea if anything else possibly relevent has changed on your box recently ?

Comment 2 Nigel Horne 2006-10-07 14:04:19 UTC
The only recent change was to install oobase using yum.

Comment 3 Caolan McNamara 2006-10-08 00:03:34 UTC
it works here (tm), which I know isn't particularly useful for you :-), so let's
see if we can narrow it down to make it reproducable for me...

a) KDE or GNOME ?
b) does just oobase fail, i.e. are oowriter and oocalc ok ?
c) do you have a different java installed, i.e. not using gij/gcj ?, 
   e.g. launch a non-crashing OOo component, e.g. writer and what is listed under 
   tools->options->openoffice.org->java ?
d) what's your display depth, i.e. output of... 
   xdpyinfo | grep "depth of root window"

Comment 4 Nigel Horne 2006-10-08 10:50:20 UTC
a) Gnome
b) Only oobase
c) Free software Foundation 1.4.2
d) depth of root window:    24 planes


Comment 5 Caolan McNamara 2006-10-09 07:20:00 UTC
exactly the same as me here :-( I assume it's not an x86_64 box as the arch is
i686 so there's can't be anything unusual there.

Maybe the video driver, what does "grep drivers /var/log/Xorg.0.log" say ?

Comment 6 Caolan McNamara 2006-11-02 16:23:33 UTC
just not able to reproduce this :-(
