From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052912 Firefox/3.0 Description of problem: According to http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Uno/FAQ#How_do_I_create_a_unique_uik_number.3F Once can start an openoffice / staroffice instance listening on local port 8100, accepting connections from localhost. This would be useful for UNO development if it worked. Otherwise any UNO application ends up starting up another instance, taking about 5 seconds on my machine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-2.3.0-6.15.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. $ /usr/lib/openoffice.org/program/soffice '-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager' 2. netstat -a|grep 8100 Actual Results: Nothing is listening on port 8100 Expected Results: netstat should have reported soffice listening on port 8100 Additional info: I'm reporting this here in case it's a Fedora porting issue rather than an openoffice.org problem.
it works, OOo takes time to launch, give it a while. Try and telnet localhost 8100 and it should connect and you get "com.sun.star.bridge.XProtocolPropertiesUrpProtocolProperties" with some binary goo on each side of the string
