Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
Sounds a lot like Bug #58508 from a few years ago but this is on a
different release of OO and Kubuntu.
I can get around the problem if I go into the OO options > General >
check "Use OpenOffice.org dialogs"
If this is un-checked then I can't save any files or insert pictures in
any OO document. OO just locks up hard, often holding the mouse hostage.
I can alt+tab to a previously open xterm and do a kill on the OO PID.
The problem just came up after the last set of updates in the last week
or two that I applied.
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.04.2"
Running OO with strace shows the following at the time it locks up if
this is helpful to anyone:
===================================================
....
write(50, "appendFilter \"Microsoft Word 200"..., 54) = 54
write(50, "appendFilter \"OpenDocument Text "..., 61) = 61
write(50, "appendFilter \"Pocket Word (.psw)"..., 42) = 42
write(50, "appendFilter \"Unified Office For"..., 57) = 57
access("/home/jbw", F_OK) = 0
lstat64("/home/jbw", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=20480, ...}) = 0
write(50, "setDefaultName \"Documents\"\n", 27) = 27
write(50, "setDirectory \"file:///home/jbw/\""..., 33) = 33
write(50, "setValue 100 noAction true\n", 27) = 27
write(50, "setCurrentFilter \"ODF Text Docum"..., 44) = 44
write(50, "getValue 100 noAction\n", 22) = 22
futex(0x8f0117c, 0x80 /* FUTEX_??? */, 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) ---
write(10, "\0", 1) = 1
sigreturn() = ? (mask now [])
futex(0x8f0117c, 0x80 /* FUTEX_??? */, 1
