This problem is solved. After some investigations with strace and other tools the problem was detected as NFS problem. Users have their home on an NFS share (root of course not) and OOo 2.1 tries to lock files. In our case NFS was misconfigured and file system locking did not work correctly, so OOo waited forever to get a lock on some config files.

Hi all,

first of all, I apologize, because this does not seem to be a problem with OOo, but merely with the configuration of our linux system. Still, you might have a hint.

We use the OOoBean within a Java application, connecting through a named pipe. When the connection is started OOo won't show in the Java frame. After some timeout an ConnectionException get's thrown and another soffice.bin process is getting started. The number of soffice.bin processes increases. This happens right before the second OSL_Pipe.... file is created in /tmp.

The problem does not exist when I log in as root. So it obviously is some kind of user restriction that causes this - but other applications work. Even starting OOo as "normal user" is working.

Is there anybody who might give an hint?

Your help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers
Harald
