Description of problem: oobase is broken, can't open database files anymore Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.2.1.18-2 How reproducible: every time, by opening database made in previous release of oobase, such as 2.2.0-14.11, which I had used (the previously latest update). Steps to Reproduce: 1. start oobase (click on icon or use terminal) 2. select "open existing database" 3. in the file open dialog, select an existing database 4. see how the application crashes and the gui disappears. It can only be restarted after issueing kill -9 for all openoffice processes still running Actual results: program crashes, window disappears, but process is still living in the background (though I don't know if one should call that "running", it is simply preventing other instances of coming up). Expected results: database opens. Additional info: after downgrading back to 2.2.0-14.11, the database files could be opened and used once again.
Created attachment 221731 [details] a small database file on which the latest update coughs and dies
Hmm, works for me. I can open that attachment in F-7 2.2.1-18.2.fc7 without any problems :-( What's the output of rpm -q hsqldb and what is listed for in openoffice.org tools->options->openoffice.org->java is it "Free Software Foundation" ? or a different java implementation ?
# rpm -q hsqldb hsqldb-1.8.0.7-2jpp.2 However, I admit it. I sinned against the principles of the Great Stallman and install only partially open (or should it be soon-to-be-partially-open) Sun Java. It happens to be much more optimized, making oobase 10-20x faster (yes, ten to twenty times). # rpm -q jre jre-1.6.0_01-fcs Please do note that I use x86_64.

My comment remarks didn't make it to the screenshot. # rpm -qa openoffice.org-base openoffice.org-base-2.2.1-18.2.fc7 # rpm -q hsqldb hsqldb-1.8.0.7-2jpp.2 tools->options->openoffice.org->java Java version is Free Software Foundation 1.5.0 This database will open on my laptop running the 32 bit version of OOO, but not the 64 bit version on my desktop. On the 64 bit version, the Recover dialog opens (screenshot). If I select to recover, it just sits there and does nothing until I finally kill it. I will not attach the actual file as it contains passwords for various accounts and web sites.
How about now with the latest update of 2.3.0-6.4.fc7 ?
I just tried it and it is now working. Thanks. Stephen
I was away and couldn't test. Meanwhile, I upgraded to fc8, where oobase works. Thanks for fixing.
sounds good.
