Hi
I have HP XE3 laptop with pre-installed win-98 and 128Mb ram.
I partitioned the 20GB HD to take SuSE 7.3.
After successfull installation, starting the StarOffice installation it hangs.
Also StarOffice 6.0 installation hangs.
I believe it is Java-related... First the keyboard hangs when in the first StarOffice screen I click on "next", then after few seconds, mouse dies too, and I have to do a cold-reset.
This does not happen with SuSE 7.2... Installation goes like a dream.
So, is there a know issue with 7.3 Java-packages? How could I "debug" this?
Jaska.
Does your HP laptop use an S3 Savage graphics card. My Toshiba laptop does and StarOffice would not work with SuSE 7.3, although it did work with SuSE 7.2. SuSE support said to check the SDB and there the answer lay. Solution Edit or create the file /etc/profile.local with an editor and add the following line: export SAL_DO_NOT_USE_INVERT50=true Save this change and check the entry by logging in again and entering: echo $SAL_DO_NOT_USE_INVERT50 This solution worked with the Toshiba laptop and now StarOffice 5.2 and 6Beta will play nice with SuSE 7.3.
