Hi all, I recently installed open office (in network mode) and haven't been able to have it run without crashing X. I have Star Office 5.2 running on the same system(s), installed in the same way and they seem to work fine.
After installing on my server on an nfs drive (/nfs/usr) using setup -net and then doing a local workstation install as a normal user, I start up open office and the following happens: a) The Open Office logo appears b) The writer appears and I start typing c) At some (random) time while I am typing, my entire X server crashes and gdm presents me with a new logon screen. All I am left with is a core dump (around 50 MB) and a relatively boring message in .xsession-errors that looks as if you'd killed X yourself. I've tried this in the following scenarios: - as root on the server - as a normal user on the server - as root on a 'workstation' - as a normal user on the server I did notice that clicking the spell checker was a sure way to bring on an instant crash. Environment: - RedHat 7.3 on all machines - Running XFree86 (version 4) - kernel 2.4.18-4 Any Ideas?
