[dapper amd64] openoffice : binary missing

[Sylvain Cherrier]

hi,
after today update (libs32 ?), openoffice daesn't start :
/usr/lib/openoffice2/program/soffice: line 233: /usr/lib/openoffice2/program/soffice.bin: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type
(soffice.bin is missing)

[Sylvain Cherrier (sylvain-cherrier)]

To solve this problem :
as root, go to /usr/lib/openoffice2/program/

Make a symbolic link on soffice.bin.real
ln -s soffice.bin.real soffice.bin

Openoffice should work then...

[Christian Reis (kiko)]

An OOO bug.

[Vincenzo Ampolo (vincenzo-ampolo)]

No it does not work either:
vincenzo@home:/usr/lib/openoffice2/program$ sudo ln -s soffice.bin.real soffice.bin
vincenzo@home:/usr/lib/openoffice2/program$ oowriter2
/usr/lib/openoffice2/program/soffice: line 233: 6021 Segmentation fault "$sd_prog/$sd_binary" "$@"

It segfaults.....

no, please check with version 2.0.1oob680m5, available in dapper.

[Vincenzo Ampolo (vincenzo-ampolo)]

I'm using dapper and the lastest openoffice.org2 that i found is 2.0.1-0ubuntu3-1

not the latest; please retry when you mirror has the version mentioned
in the previous comment.

[Vladimir M. Kerka (kerka)]

Why do you suggest to try version 2.0.1oob680m5, which causes the same problems described in bugs #32827, #33330, #33456, and # 33729 (these bugs I remembered from the top of my head, maybe I forgot several numbers). There is NO solution, yet, AFAIK

[Jean-Philippe (skateinmars)]

I got the same bug with
Version: 2.0.1oob680m5-0ubuntu2-1

(an example)

skateinmars@drake:~$ oowriter
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice: line 233: /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type

[Vincenzo Ampolo (vincenzo-ampolo)]

with the upgrade to nvidia-glx it now works for me

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

fixed with recent nvidia-glx update
