Description of problem: When I try to run OpenOffice I get the following error messages: soffice.bin: xcb_io.c:452: _XRead: Assertion `dpy->xcb->reply_data != 0' failed. soffice.bin: xcb_io.c:182: process_responses: Assertion `((int) (((dpy->last_request_read)) - ((dpy->request))) <= 0)' failed. /opt/openoffice.org2.3/program/soffice: line 251: 7805 Aborted "$sd_prog/$sd_binary" "$@" This happens on two machines at work, though our home machines work. Machine 1: Fedora 8 with SRSS 3.1.1 and Sun Java - we had to apply certain non-standard patched in order to make SRSS work, but this doesn't seem to be the problem. Machine 2: Standard installation of Fedora 8 with IcedTea Java. On Machine 1, I tried to install OpenOffice package from openoffice.org, but the result is the same. How reproducible: Always on the two machines Steps to Reproduce: 1. run swriter (or oowriter) from the command-line 2. 3. Actual results: Machine 1: soffice.bin: xcb_io.c:452: _XRead: Assertion `dpy->xcb->reply_data != 0' failed. soffice.bin: xcb_io.c:182: process_responses: Assertion `((int) (((dpy->last_request_read)) - ((dpy->request))) <= 0)' failed. /opt/openoffice.org2.3/program/soffice: line 251: 7805 Aborted "$sd_prog/$sd_binary" "$@" Machine 2: swriter.bin: xcb_io.c:452: _XRead: Assertion `dpy->xcb->reply_data != 0' failed. /usr/lib64/openoffice.org/program/soffice: line 147: 29552 Aborted "$sd_prog/$sd_binary" "$@" Expected results: openoffice launches Additional info: I am adding the output of strace.
Created attachment 291849 [details] strace on Machine 1 (Sun Java)
Created attachment 291850 [details] strace on Machine 2 (IcedTea Java, openoffice from the distribution)
I was pointed to another bug, which describes this problem. In fact, it is the fault of SunRay Server. The simple workaround is: env SAL_NOOPENGL=true ooffice *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 417821 ***
