Bug #: 42961
Summary: : Setting $DATA causes LibreOffice to crash
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.3.4 release
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Status Whiteboard: BSA
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Libreoffice
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Problem description:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Set the environment variable $DATA to the name of some directory unrelated
to LibreOffice
2. Ensure no LibreOffice processes are running
3. Launch LibreOffice (/usr/bin/libreoffice)
Current behavior:
The splash screen shows for a few seconds, then it closes and an error message
is printed:
terminate called after throwing an instance of
'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException'
A process continues to run; "ps -ef" shows
"/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin -splash-pipe=5", but no GUI appears.
If $DATA is not set, the GUI appears normally.
Expected behavior:
The GUI should appear normally.
NOTE: I've seen the same behavior in OpenOffice.
I've downloaded the source code to try to track down the problem.
I haven't completely diagnosed it, but I suspect that the
culprit is the Components::parseXcsXcuIniLayer() function in
configmgr/source/components.cxx :
...
if (ini.getFrom(rtl::OUString(RTL_CONSTASCII_USTRINGPARAM("DATA")), urls))
{
parseFileList(layer + 1, &parseXcuFile, urls, ini, recordAdditions);
}
I also wonder whether some other seemingly innocuous environment
variables might cause similar problems. Suggestion: add tracing to all calls
to getenv() to see just what environment variables it's looking at.
