Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 35672
m56 crashes on startup (UILocale missing) with my private build
Last modified: 2004-10-18 13:32:40 UTC
Hi Joerg, my on linux x86 privately built 680m56 crashes on startup when desktop/source/app/langselect.cxx tries to retrieve the UILocale configuration element (see LanguageSelection::getUserLanguage() ). Because no Linguistic.xcu exists in share/registry/data/..., a nosuchelement exception is thrown, which is not caught. I have not checked whether it exists in the official build (I guess not), I currently configure simply with ./configure --with-ant-home=/home/software/ant --enable-fontconfig and set later setenv common_build_srs "TRUE" because otherwise scp output is crippled. So I guess, there 2 problems : 1) langselect.cxx is not robust enough vs. crippled configuration. 2) Why is this part missing in my configuration. When I catch and ignore the exception in langselect.cxx, OOo starts fine. Bye, Joerg
This is a known issue: duplicate to issue 34453. There is a workaround: Delete your user installation. Basically this is (or should be) recommended practice when switching between development versions. See also issue 35411. BTW: The missing entry is defined in Linguistics.xcs (in share/registry/schema/..). The configuration does not support timestamp tracking for xcs files, as schemas are not supposed to be changed. But of course that only holds true after a release. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 34453 ***
