[Bug 140619] Re: [Gutsy] OpenOffice.org : Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early exit
Had the same error yesterday with the latest updates, tried all the recommendations, removing, purging and then reinstalling all the oo package, used the gconf tool, changed the GTK_IM_MODULE, even tried with the fonts elimination found on some forums, still didn't work. I did an strace to the main open office executable and then I found that it was looking for some libflac8 library and then it segfaults (weird since it is and audio library), checked the list of updates and there it was, a security update for that library, went back to the previous version digging through the packages available at http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and after downgrading the library all problems dissapeared and openoffice went back to normal. I'm not sure if it is the same cause for all, but at least that way we can get to know what is causing those issues. In case anyone wants to try, this is the command line: strace /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin That way we can get to catch those pesky errors. And if someone wants to know where the old libflac8 version is, here is the link: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/flac/libflac8_1.2.1-1ubuntu1_i386.deb The weird thing is, I have the latest version on my laptop and it works fine. -- [Gutsy] OpenOffice.org : Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early exit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140619 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
