Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 52774
Openoffice hangs with users loged in with a ldap-account
Last modified: 2006-02-09 13:05:35 UTC
Description of problem: A user how loged in can work whit all programs. But when he try to work whit openoffice, he can start the program and open a file. He can also past a texte in a existing texte file or in a new texte file. But when he begin to write he can write only _1_ letter and then the programm crash. He had the same problem with the ather openoffice programs (impress, calc ...). If I creat a local user in /etc/passwd he can work with openoffice without problem. Idem for root... All this problem I have on computer A. On computer B I don't have problems ? B is very old A is newer Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-writer-1.9.112-1.1.0.fc4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login as a ldap-user 2. Start openoffice.org-writer 3. Begin to write and after 1 letter he crash Actual Results: crash. Only xkill helps.
MRU->US: can you evaluate wether this is a Writer or a Framework issue? Thanks a lot!
I think it is a framework problem. Openoffice crashes also in oocalc, impress ...
@submitter: could you pls. describe the environment in more detail. e.g. * where is OO.o installed * how do the users access it * how are the user's home directories mounted * what parameters are used for nfs exports * is lockd running on server and clients * how are fonts distributed to the clients * what kind of linux installation is used for the server and for the clients (LTSP?) Could you provide a call stack of the crash e.g attach with gdb to a running client instance (gdb - <pid> and typ continue) and force the crash by typing something; than hit "bt" in gdb. Pls. provid the call stack as attachment (!). Thanks.
* where is OO.o installed Standart of FC 4 * how do the users access it menu or # ooffice * how are the user's home directories mounted local * what parameters are used for nfs exports /home/projets/ *(rw,root_squash,sync) * is lockd running on server and clients I don't know * how are fonts distributed to the clients Standart of FC 4 * what kind of linux installation is used for the server and for the clients Server: SuSE 9.2 Client: Fedora Core 4 Please have a look at site https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=162650
you don't seem to use stock openoffice.org provided build. no support from here. Pls. try http://download.openoffice.org/680/index.html
I experience the same problem using an openoffice build (m122) on Fedora 3.
us->cmc: the referenced bugzilla tasks is yours. Could you provide some insight on this pls. Thx. Ulf.
haven't been able to reproduce this problem myself
hmm, issue 53850 is similiar, from that bug I suspect that the problem is libdb, where OOo's copy is being picked up by nss_ldap or something similiar, for fedora core version of OOo this depends on using system db which itself depends on X. For "normal" OOo there wouldn't be a solution except statically linking against libdb or changing the name of the library.
err, where X is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=153231
suspect that it's the same problem as issue 53850 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 53850 ***
ok, if deleting the db doesn't fix this, then... janvlug , schmidig: you report the problem so can you provide a stack trace, ie. on fedora install the openoffice.org-debugging rpm and run the program like gdb /usr/lib/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice.bin (gdb) run -calc when it crashes (gdb) bt and paste in the results. This is a difficult bug to reproduce for anyone else who does not have nss_ldap in operation.
to get the debuginfo package for FC4 > yum install openoffice.org-debuginfo
does this still occur with recent testing fc4 update of openoffice.org-2.0.1-0.141.3.1 ?
I have change to Ubuntu 5.10 :-) Simon Schmidig
not possible to determine what the problem was.
