Hello:

I have openSUSE 11.2 and libreoffice 3.3.2.2 packages (downloaded from repos when they were available).

When I start any libreoffice application as usual, the program shows the splash screen and hangs. If I start it from command line, eg oowriter program, it gives neither any error nor other message.

Have you tried using the full path?

:~> /usr/bin/oowriter

Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately using full path command doesn't change anything.

...

If I login as another user the program runs as expected.

I have renamed my ~/.libreoffice directory but it did not fix the problem. I guess it is related to my home folder but I don't know what to look for. Any idea?

It does sound like a permissions problem, but I don't know what else to suggest.

I ran "chown -R myusername ./" in my home dir but it hasn't fixed the problem. I experienced a little bit and found if I use eg. sawfish window manager, the problem disappears. So it has to do something with KDE3, the desktop manager I use. Other idea?

Istvan, Check your /var/log/messages file for oosplash segfaults. Libre introduced a bug a week or two ago that caused problems on Arch with libX11. I don't know whether it is libre or X11: Aug 26 14:02:39 providence kernel: [594758.312988] oosplash.bin[11248]: segfault at 4d0 ip b76d6a1b sp bfb39e00 error 4 in libX11.so.6.3.0[b76a3000+132000] Aug 26 14:19:28 providence kernel: [595767.455414] CIFS VFS: did not end path lookup where expected namelen is 0 Aug 26 14:19:28 providence kernel: [595767.462452] CIFS VFS: did not end path lookup where expected namelen is 0 Aug 26 14:19:30 providence kernel: [595769.996426] CIFS VFS: did not end path lookup where expected namelen is 0 I don't know what the status is on this, but I'm updating to Libre 3.4.3-1 as we speak. I'll let you know if it is still there. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
