Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 3786
Cant complete network install on Redhat 7.2 with Netscape 6.2
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:53:51 UTC
After net install, address book autopilot crashes soffice. Starting openoffice automatically starts address book. Selecting other db or LDAP will abort autopilot and exit soffice. Selecting Mozilla/Netscape 6.x then prompts for collected or addresses. Selecting either aborts soffice and the autopilot.
Hi Marc, I can't reproduce this. Do you have any idea?
Hi Gregg, No idea so far. I have some questions: - Can you open the datasource admin dialog under TOOLS / DATASOURCES - Can you open the datasource beamer ( VIEW / DATASOURCES ) - If yes can you open the datasource Bibliography. Bye Marc
Marc, I finally got it to install by running swriter instead of openoffice after the installation. Here is my configuration: Stock RedHat 7.2 with NO updates. Fresh install with Netscape 6.2 added. My home directory was restored to give me my netscape address book etc. I did an openoffice 641D network install using the command: setup -net from the normal directory (gunziped install file from openoffice).I installed Openoffice in /usr/local/openoffice. Next I ran a workstation install using the command: /usr/local/openoffice/setup I selected the workstation option and installed it in my home directory: /home/gregg/openoffice. I filed in the personal information form and the the install finished without any problems. Finally, I ran /home/gregg/openoffice/soffice and got into the autopilot. I selected mozilla/netscape 6.x and I was prompted for the source. I then selected Personal Address Book and hit next. At this point openoffice aborted. Any time I ran soffice from my home directory or the /usr/local/openoffice/program directory the install would abort. I also noticed that when I ran soffice, a document window would appear prior to the appearance of the autopilot window. After the autopilot window appeared, the document window would disappear (i.e. close). When I ran /usr/local/openoffice/program/swriter. The document window would appear, and would stay open even after the autopilot window would appear. In this senario the autopilot would complete without a hitch. Once the autopilot completes, I can run soffice without a problem. If you can't reproduce this in your lab, I would be happy to give you access to my system for testing. Gregg
Marc, Read my previous comment. Gregg
Sorry, but I'm not an active developer in this project.
Hi Marc, I send this issue back to you. Gregg gaves further information.
reassign
Hi Tom, I can't reproduce this. Do you have any idea what might went wrong for this user?
Sorry, I cannot help with this bug since neither have I a Linux system nor did I program the AddressBook wizard.
back to msc Gregg, sorry for the reassigning confusing.
Hi gregg, I have followed you step by step instruction, but I can't reproduce your issue. Is this also happend when you make a normal install ( without -net ) or only when you make a networkinstallation. What happend happend when you cancel the autopilot. Under Tools/Datasource you can create a new Mozilla Addressbook,too. What happend there, Hope that help to resolve you problem. Bye Marc
Marc, Update: This problem only appears on my k6-2 based systems. I will experiment around some more. Gregg
I upgraded to Redhat 7.3 and OpenOffice still crashes in the autopilot to import address list. Hitting the cancel key causes an unexpected exception. BTW: I didnt do a redhat 7.3 upgrade, I actually installed 7.3 on newly generated partitions.
Hi, does this problem still appear in a OOo 1.0.1? Bye Marc
close, because the issue seams to be solved.
