I changed from xfree to xorg, by unmerging xfree and then emerging xorg 6.8.0-r1. Xorg installed fine and ran. Many apps continued running without changes: moz, opera, mplayer, gimp, xchat etc. However, openoffice 1.1.2 would not start, and would simply segfault. I tried remerging openoffice-bin, but no change. I tried removing my old OOo user dirs and again no change. It tries to run the setup script and segfaults: marko@gershwin marko $ ooffice running openoffice.org setup... /usr/bin/ooffice: line 178: 28192 Segmentation fault /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/setup ${UPDATEFLAG} -R:/etc/openoffice/autoresponse-1.1.2.conf 1>&/dev/null setup failed.. abort Here's a gdb backtrace if it is of any help: marko@gershwin marko $ gdb /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/setup.bin GNU gdb 6.0 Copyright 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Ok, noticed something strange. If I try running OOo as root it will run fine. No other user is able to run OOo. So I'm guessing it could be something trivial?
Another bit of information if it is of any help. Tuxracer also segfaults when it is run as a user, but runs without problems when root.

Just to let you know, I downgraded to 6.7.0-r2 and everything works fine now. So it is seems like something in the 6.8.0 build that is not right.
oo.org 1.1.2 works with xorg 6.8.0r1 on x86, 1.1.3 craps out. forums may suggest a DRI issue.
Could I get an strace of oo.o starting please
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=224666&highlight=openoffice+xorg has some info.
This is dumped to console.

Ok.. just tested.. works FINE as root.. even with DRI on. When I move my .sversionrc and .openoffice dirs to new names and run oowriter I get: running openoffice.org setup... /usr/bin/oowriter: line 178: 28910 Segmentation fault /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/setup ${UPDATEFLAG} -R:/etc/openoffice/autoresponse-1.1.3.conf >&/dev/null setup failed.. abort
I don't need to get every post twice.
Any progress on this? Ive just submitted 68631 because OO.org 1.1.2 has just been removed! See also 68174.
this definitely sounds like http://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1501 which i believe spyderous already knows about. i'd expect this would get incorporated in the next ebuild bump, in the meantime make sure /dev/dri/card0 is mode 0666 before running GL apps. why ooo wants libGL is a question i may not want to know the answer to.
I've added it to the currently not-ready 6.8.0-r2. Unfortunately, I probably don't have time to get it ready this weekend because I've got a big test Monday.
*** Bug 69364 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Unfortunately, I can't even run ooffice as root. As root, I get: tux root # ooffice running openoffice.org setup... setup failed.. abort And as user, I get: delwadvipu@tux delwadvipu $ ooffice running openoffice.org setup... /usr/bin/ooffice: line 178: 31987 Segmentation fault /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/setup ${UPDATEFLAG} -R:/etc/openoffice/autoresponse-1.1.3.conf 1>&/dev/null setup failed.. abort Using openofficebin-1.1.3 (not enough free space to compile :( ) and xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1. Anyone got any ideas, or should I just go to oo1.1.2 instead (only installed gentoo this week) adthanksvance
One comment on the openGL use by openoffice.org. Openoffice has the possibility to show 3d shapes of various kinds. It uses opengl for that, but loads it allways, not on demand.
I have 0666 on /dev/dri/card0 and /dev/radeon and now all I get is the same output as in comment 8. Any ideas anyone?
You could try xorg 6.8.0-r2. It's hard-masked atm.
ok.. using 6.8.0-r2 doesnt change a thing, even disabling DRI in xorg.conf doesnt fix it. I still get the crash as reported in comment 8. Anymore ideas before I return to 6.8.0-r1?
Ajax or anyone else, any more ideas? The patch mentioned in comment #11 apparently doesn't fix this.
Alternatively, if you have Goudy Old Style font installed (mine is from a good quality source mind you, Corel CD), remove it and the crashes might stop. I had to installed oo.org 1.1.1 then hack (S&R) the setup checker script of 1.1.3 once reinstalled to make it look for my 1.1.1 setup dir as 1.1.2 is no longer installed on gentoo. Once I ran it, I was then getting the oo.org report crash back to oo.org dialog . From there I could get a good strace to find the font (which is good and works in 1.1.1 and 1.1.2)
If this helps any, I've been using OOo 1.1.3 and X.Org 6.8.0-r1 together for awhile and it worked fine until I updated something yesterday. To me this suggests another dependency causing the issue, but I can't find anything in strace or remember all that I updated yesterday. Currently I'm playing with DRM and opengl drivers and settings to see if it gets me anywhere.
Didnt add a new font did you? OO.org seems to have become sensitive to some font files that are actually ok.
No new fonts. I got it working again by enabling OpenGL support on the libsdl merge (and double checking my DRI drivers - they weren't set up correctly). Don't know which of these fixed it, but after rebooting it never gave me an issue. I noticed before it had errors loading libGL.so (it only displayed these errors under root, where it loaded), and under user it chose to segfault instead. Hope this helps.
FWIW - I had the same problems as described the only thing in recent history that changed was opengl-update so I ran it manually. Still didn't work so I removed ~/.openoffice and ~/.sversionrc then it worked. All software is current version. RE. daily emerge -Du world
This problem seems to have been fixed / worked around.
