OOo tries to load file:///opt/OpenOffice.org/share/basic/WebWizard/script.xlb and file:///opt/OpenOffice.org/share/basic/dialog/script.xlb I don't have the path /opt/OpenOffice.org and script.xlb does not exist in my install, neither does WebWizard. OpenOffice is opening but where there should be two files script.xlb and dialog.xlb in /opt/OpenOffice.org/share/basic/WebWizard/ there are no files at all. The directory exists but its empty. Here is the error message that I am receiving. Error load BASIC of document file:///opt/OpenOffice.org/share/basic/WebWizard/script.xlb/: General Error. General input/output error. Error load BASIC of document file:///opt/OpenOffice.org/share/basic/WebWizard/dialog.xlb/: General Error. General input/output error.

So please take another look around if there are some other hidden directories remaining from ancient OOo-release (like ~/.openoffice ) same here even after removing ~/.openoffice I had the same problem for some time and found the solution: Both files which are named in the error messages are included in two config files in the user's OOo config directory. To fix the problem, edit these two files: ~/.ooo-2.0/user/basic/script.xlc ~/.ooo-2.0/user/basic/dialog.xlc In both files (xml format), there is a list of libraries to load and one line contains a reference to the missing file. Just remove the relevant lines in both files, save them and restart OOo. As an example, the line in ~/.ooo-2.0/user/basic/dialog.xlc looks as follows: <library:library library:name="WebWizard" xlink:href="file:///opt/OpenOffice.org/share/basic/WebWizard/dialog.xlb/" xlink:type="simple" library:link="true" library:readonly="true"/> N.B: `find' and `grep' are your friends ;-) (In reply to comment #6) > I had the same problem for some time and found the solution: Both files which > are named in the error messages are included in two config files in the user's > OOo config directory. that's why removing ~/.ooo-2.0 was my first advice ;) Thank you very much. Got bit by this too. Is there something we can put in the openoffice ebuild that would detect and or fix this? I mean, it's our users who are being punished by this upgrade not being clean. AfC Completely agree. At least something in the ebuild should point to this bug.

Just for interest, as I still don't quite get why this seems to happen to more people now and not earlier: From which version of OOo did you upgrade? It has been happening to me for a while, but I haven't bothered fixing until now.

Taking in account that nearly every release in there had security fixes, you really should update more frequently anyway... |
