Hello Mandrake developers, Before I file a bug about this I want to discuss it here just to make sure it's no "user error" and to pin down the problem exactly. :)
I'm running 9.1beta3. My graphics card is a Matrox G400 16MB. When I tried the bundled (nl localized) OpenOffice.org, it would segfault the moment I asked it to display the Albany font (this font is bundled with StarOffice). In an effort to find out what was happening, I edited the ooffice startup script and changed the My$Debug variable from 0 to 1. That was a bad idea: after this, starting OOo would only yield: 'Installation of OpenOffice.org 1.0.2 failed.' even after I set the debug variable back to 0. Reading the startup script I come to the conclusion that for some reason this only happens when it wants to run Setup and setup doesn't exit correctly, I don't know why it wants to run Setup though. Deleting and reinstalling OOo with urpme and urpmi did not fix it. Deleting my ~/.openoffice directory did not fix it either, however the OpenOffice.org Setup program would start but also segfault after the final installation confirmation following the Java setup step. Trying to run it in a different user account or as root makes no difference. By editing /usr/lib/openoffice/setup I ran the setup binary in gdb and retrieved a backtrace, which is attached. As a last resort I tried deleting the Albany fonts with drakfont, but unfortunately drakfont crashes when I try to do so. But I believe this is covered already in bug 835. It goed without saying that I'd be very grateful to someone who helps me get my OOo back! :-S regards, -- Reinout van Schouwen Artificial Intelligence student email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mobile phone: +31-6-44360778 GPG public key http://www.cs.vu.nl/~reinout/reinout.asc
