Description of problem: Everytime I try to save a document (even empty) to DocBook .xml, I get a "Write error" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-writer-2.3.0-6.1.fc8 Additional info: I guess you will be able to reproduce it with his much information. If you need more information, feel free to ask.
rpm -q openoffice.org-xsltfilter ? I have no such problem with openoffice.org-xsltfilter.i386 1:2.3.0-6.1.fc8 with saving to docbook from writer
openoffice.org-xsltfilter-2.3.0-6.1.fc8 "Write error" sounds like if I was short of diskspace, but I'm not and, as I said, it even happens with empty documents. Note that the progressbar in the bottom runs roughly to half of the screen width and I get the message just then.
Hmm, under tools->options->openoffice.org->java what jre is listed as selected ? Sun Microsystems or Free Software Foundation ?
Caloan: There was just IcedTea java listed (Sun microsystems 1.7.0), but the radio button next to it was unchecked. When I checked it it suddenly started to work (thanks for that tip). Until very recently, I was having only Sun Java and GCJ installed. I do still have them now, they just don't appear in the list.
Yeah, the code is compiled now with icedtea which defaults to version 6 of the .class format which 1.5.0 (e.g. gcj) cannot execute. But if gcj was auto-selected in the past then it would still be listed as the java to use, even though it cannot work with the new format class files and not even get listed. So we should rebuild with icedtea set to generate 1.5.0 compatible class files so that either can be used methinks, let's give that a go for solving this problem in general.
