Don't know if it will help but you could read this. It might give you some clues for your situation. http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/sadrian_soffice_nfs.html * Andreas Guelzow (aguelzow@math.concordia.ab.ca) [000906 22:22]: -->HI, --> -->We had a computer lab of 40 machines as well as some faculty machines -->running SuSE 6.1 and StarOffice 5.1. And everybody was happy. --> -->Well, not everybody since it seemed to be nice to have a newer version -->of glibc...So we decdied to upgrade to SuSE 6.4, first on the faculty -->machines and everything worked fine. Then we updated one of the lab -->machines and cloned the other machines from this sample...everything -->ought to have been fine too, but: -->StarOffice5.1 decided to crash immewdiately upon start,... well it -->lasted long enough to show the splash screen and to give a warning -->dialog that all files would be saved...crash -->Since we wanted to move to StarOffice 5,2 anyways we decided to install -->that. This time as a network install with the StarOffice directory -->mounted via NFS and the user directories are NFS mounted anyways. Well, -->on the Faculty machines everything is still great but in the -->lab...starting StarOffice...the splash screen...the desktop appears ... -->and crash. When you start it from the command line every thing appears -->fine, ie. no error output. Neither are there any indications in the -->system logs... --> -->What is one to do (especially if StarOffice is supposed to use in a -->class nect week...)? --> -->Andreas -->-- -->Prof. Dr. Andreas J.
