Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 51125
OOo always crashes on Solaris 10.1 nv_14
Last modified: 2005-08-22 08:59:14 UTC
Running Solaris 10.1 nv_14 on a Acer Ferrari 3400 laptop "Installed" OOo_1.9.95 by pkgadd -d . openoff* and answering y to all questions OOo works almost OK with some crashes from time to time. Decicded to upgrade to OOo_1.9.104 when it came out. Did a pkgadd like above again (no pkgrm IIRC) Now I have more frequent crashes and get a little bit annoyed. Today I decided to go up one level more to OOO_1.9.109 and that was probably the worst mistake I've ever done. Did a pkgrm of all openoffice packages and then a pkgadd off all the 109 packages Now I can't do nothing before it crashes. Open a presentation I worked with in the previous releases and the just adding a character and BANG it crashes So, then I pkgrm everything again and reinstalls 95, and that version does the same, not letting me do nothing before it goes belly up...
Wrong component (UI). ES->OF: is that the correct way to install OOo on Solaris? PLease evaluate. Downgrading prio for now.
I've tried on Solaris s10x_u1wos_7 X86 on an Opteron system (not Ferrari). No such problem. What is Solaris 10.1 nv_14? Searching on sun.com doesn't match. I've always removed older version before adding new packages to have a clean system.
nv_14 is the Nevada 14 version (Sun internal). But the problem is there are no real good description on installation order for the packages, and it seems as there are a "catch 22" dependancy between some packages "can't do x until y but y depends on x". Please advise on package installation order.
of: Please have a look.

sb->thommym: I have a somewhat similar, Sun-internal issue that states that OOo always crashes during startup on certain Solaris SPARC versions. I assume that your notebook runs Solaris x86, and it is possible that the problem that happens always on Solaris SPARC happens only sometimes on Solaris x86 (as you claim that OOo does not crash on every startup, but only randomly during work). I will inform you once the fix for the Sun-internal issue is integrated (for both Solaris SPARC and Solaris x86, targeted for OOo 2.0), so you can then check whether your problems have been solved, too.
obr->sb: wasn't that SPARC problem introduced in Nevada 16 ? If so, this is problably a differnt problem. obr->thommym: you probably now have a number of ".openoffice.org1.9.xx" folders in your home directory. Did you try renaming/removing those ? Does this problems also occur for other logins (freshly created accounts) ?
sb->thommym: SRC680m114 now contains the fixes (CWS sb34) I mentioned above.
thommym: can you please test newer version like m121? Does it crash too?
thommym?
Will test m122 on Solaris_nv19 this week. /Thommy M.
So, finally I did a new Solaris nv-19-x86 installation on an AMD Athlon based PC, and installed OOo-m1.9.122. There were no (or at lest no useful) installation instructions, so I did a pkgadd -d . from the unpack dir and answered y to every question. After that I started OOo by clicking the "Star" button on the desktop (Running GNOME) and OOo started up OK. My first test was opening up a fresh Calc, puttin 1 in A1, and dragging the lower right corner (lrc) downwards to fill A2, A3, and so on with 2, 3, 4 etc. All OK. The I put a formula in B1 [=POWER(A1;2)] wich of course gave me a 1 in that cell. Then again I dragged the lrc to extend the formula to the other cells in column B but then OOo immediatly crashed (and recovered). I can copy a formula (Ctrl-C) and paste it into another cell (Ctrl-V) and it works as expected but dragging the cells lrc gives a crash. I've tested the exact same procedure with OOo-m1.9.122 on WinXPpro(SP2) and there I have no crashes. brgds, /Thommy M.
Works OK also on GNU/Linux. Can you please run OOo from terminal and show us what OOo prints to it while crashing? Can you attach the crashreport?

Eike: do you have an idea?
We should have a neww issue for "dragging a formula to more cells". Otherwise we will have a 'Fix all issues at one place' issue. It looks like we are no longer crashing on nevada.
Closed as fixed.
