Bug 89025 – openoffice locks up when manipulating and drawing 3D objects (Xlib: unexpected async reply)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description hodak 2005-04-13 19:20:17 UTC]

I have tested this with various versions of openoffice1: (openoffice-ximian 1.3.7 and 1.3.9) and (openoffice-bin 1.1.4 and 1.9.91-r2) and whenevr I am drawing 3D objects nad manipulating them (roatating, applying attributes) the openoffice stops responding. In terminal I get 

Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x6ef2)!

The sequence number is always different. 


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run drawing program from openoffice
2.Draw and manipulate 3D objects
3.

Actual Results:  
Openoffice locks up with error mentioned above

Expected Results:  
Openoffice should not lock up.

I am running fully updated stable system, my xorg version is 6.8.2-r1. I am
using nvidia driver 1.0.6629-r4.

Can't reproduce that with both openoffice-ximian-1.3.9 and openoffice-bin-1.9.91-r2 (xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1 / nvidia driver 1.0.7174), everything works fine here. So this might actually be a problem with your X.org-setup. 

Adding the x-devs to the bug.

[Comment 2 hodak 2005-04-15 01:41:19 UTC]

I have found that disabling nvidia driver (i.e. replacing "nvidia" in xorg.conf by "nv") fixes the problem. I see the same for 1.0.6629-r4 and 1.0.7174 versions of nvidia-kernel. No special options (such asRenderAccel) are enabled.  I am using ck-sources-2.6.11-ck4 kernel.

Openoffice is the only application that seems to have problems with nvidia driver, all other applications work fine including 3D games. 

[Comment 3 Joshua Baergen (RETIRED) 2005-04-15 09:04:42 UTC]

This error has to do with wonky multithread code.  Does OO still use SDL for 3D work?  I've had issues w/ SDL in the past.

[Comment 4 Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) 2005-05-11 08:36:07 UTC]

OOo does not used (can't even remember a time it did)

[Comment 5 Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) 2005-05-19 09:42:47 UTC]

Do you still get that problem?

[Comment 6 hodak 2005-05-19 23:27:55 UTC]

Nothing has changed, I am still having this problem. Manupulating 3D objects
always locks my ximian openoffice.

[Comment 7 Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) 2005-10-27 11:14:34 UTC]

After all there's really nothing we can do here, the bug is not reproducible, so
it is most likely a problem in your setup. And even if it would be a real
problem, this should be reported upstream, as there is nothing we can do here.
