From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.1; Linux) Description of problem: After adding additional TTF fonts to OpenOffice with the oopadmin tool Open Office begins to crash at various spots. I have tested this on two different machines (one athlon the other i686). Either you get the following crash on startup [foo@home foo]$ oowriter Checking for existing user installation ... ... NOT FOUND Performing first-time installation for user ... /usr/bin/ooffice: line 197: 12677 Segmentation fault /usr/lib/openoffice/program/setup -R:/etc/openoffice/autoresponse.conf ... FAILED Or oowriter starts properly but crashes as soon as you attempt to select a different font. I have removed all OpenOffice RPMS and reinstalled. Same behavior continues. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice-1.0.2-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Add additional TTF fonts to OpenOffice with the oopadmin command (as root) 2.Start oowriter as root or user. (get crash) 3.If no crash try changing fonts. (get crash) Expected Results: Same procedure under RH 8.0 works fine. Additional info:
I'm having the same issue I think. I upgraded to RH 9 from RH 8. I couldn't even launch mozilla after the upgrade to RH 9, until I started removing all fonts that have been added to my system over the years, trying to leave only the default fonts installed by RH 9. I had a lot of different font directories, which I am cleaning up. After doing that, I was able to launch mozilla, but I am still unable to even launch OO. I have removed my .openoffice directory, and I get the same error you reference above when starting OO.
After installing the glibc update for RH9, things seem much better.
I continue to have the same problems after updating glibc
I really think this is font related. I "cleaned up" all the fonts on my system, by seeing which ones were installed from RPM's, and which ones were not. I spent some time going through all the different directories where fonts were installed, and did a rpm -qf `ls` in each directory. If the directory was not from an RPM, I deleted or moved it somewhere else. Then I reran fc-cache and OO started working again, but not until I did all the up2date packages. It really made a difference for me after the glibc update. I couldn't even run xmms before the glibc update. My system had been upgraded from previous redhat releases, and this was the first upgrade that was rough. Was your system upgraded or a 'fresh' install?
In my case it's a fresh install.
Ouch. I figured maybe you were in the same boat as me, with an upgrade. Anything on usenet about this?
I'm having the same problem on a fresh install. Useing the laptop/home desktop install off of the dvd.
I face same problem when I add new TTF fonts. It happen after I install using openoffice setup printer dialog box. After I run oowriter and click to choose font, oowriter crash. This also happen if I install into one of TTF directory listed using chkfontpath. This problem didn't happen on RH8.0. I don't know the problem from openoffice or XFS.
Thought it might be xfs. I downloaded the latest openoffice.org (1.0.3.1) and installed it. Installed the TTF fonts and it functions fully.
Please try current OOo 1.1.0, and reopen if problem still occurs
