Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 66791
impress crashes on opening presentation
Last modified: 2006-11-15 15:33:26 UTC
Recently I have reinstalled Debian Sarge (stable). Then I installed OO.org 2.0.2. OO Writer seems to work correctly, whereas OO Impress crashes on opening either a PPT presentation or an ODP presentation. The same faulty behaviour I observed while I was using original DEB packages (en_GB variant) and alien-converted DEB packages (en_US variant). Steps to reproduce (works on my machine): - start OO (soffice) - open a presentation - focus on any slide - "OpenOffice.org Data Recovery" window appears with information about recovery of previously opened presentation. - click on "Start recovery" button (recovery succeeds) - click "Next" - "OpenOffice.org Error Report" window appears - click "Send" or "Don't send" - presentation opens for a few seconds - "OpenOffice.org Data Recovery" window appears - etc. My configuration: Linux: Debian Sarge Kernel: 2.6.8 (Debian) Libc: 2.3.2.ds1-22 (Debian) Java: Sun JDK 1.5.0_07 Is my configuration wrong?
Reassigned.
Hello, I have noticed nearly the same issue with the precompiled binaries (version 2.0.2 and 2.0.1) and Debian Sarge. Impress starts, the "Open Presentation"-Wizard pops up and then the application crashes. Then appears the "OpenOffice Data Recovery"-Wizard, and at last OO-Writer starts. Opening presentation from OO-Writer or OO-Office also crashes the application. The debanized packages of OpenOffice from www.backports.org don't have this bug.
Thank for advice. I will check backport binaries tonight and report the results. If they work that's enough for me but it does not mean that OO.org should publish broken binaries (and label them stable) on their site :).
I compiled OOo 2.0.2 on Debian Sarge from sources. However the error still occurs, so it doesn't look like a "simple" library issue :(
OO.org DEB packages from backport.org work for me. My friend who runs Debian testing does not have problems with them. There is only one drawback - they are OO.org 2.0.0 packages, not OO.org 2.0.2
Backports.org has OOo 2.0.1. Debian Testing has currently 2.0.1 for i386 and only 2.0.0 for sparc architecture. Packages for OOo 2.0.2 are already in Debian Unstable.
The just released version 2.0.3 is also affected by this bug.
Could you please send a crashreport. Please tell me which email adress do you inserted in the crash report.
I have send a crash report using the email address hmense@math.uni-paderborn.de.
Thank you for the crash report. This is a known crash and will bw fixed in OOo 2.0.4
The ID for the crash is 137395
the Bug-ID for the crash is 137395
This issue is duplicate to the stacktrace bug 137395 Please have a look.
unfortunately, this task won't make it for OOo 2.0.4 due to resource constraints. Retargeting to OOo 2.x
broken libfreetype6 on debian => please upgrade *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 66394 ***
