[kubuntu] Openoffice KDE integration doesnot allow Zotero to work

[santam chakraborty]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org-kde
Using Kubuntu Karmic Alpha 6
Open office KDE integration plugin doesnot allow Zotero open office plugins to work.
The old plugin installation fails despite having the latest java and pyuno packages. No error messages are displayed but on trying to install the plugin the extension manager crashes.
In the new Zotero plugin the installation works and the zotero toolbar appears on the openoffice menu. Even citations can be inserted but when we attempt to insert the bibliography openoffice crashes. In addition the firefox window doesnot allow opening of the addons menu.
Uninstalling the Openoffice.org-kde package allows both the plugins to function normally
Here is the output of the console that I got when i attempted to use these plugins in the presence of the openoffice.org-kde package during the crash

Roman,

Can you take a look at this issue?

Thanks,

Chris

I am having the same problem, when I try to install an extension.

I can send it to you if you want to reproduce the bug, but I do not want to publish it.

[Jan Commandeur (jancommandeur)]

Dear people of bugs.launchpad.net,

If i work with oobase.
It isn't posible to connect to a other database (firebirdsql) .

When i wanted to make a tabel OR connect to a database it crashes with

GDS Exception. 335544569. Dynamic SQL Error
SQL error code = -104
Token unknown - line 1, char 291

Hello,
I can report a similar behaviour in Kubuntu Karmic Release candidate. When I want to select and drag some cells in oocalc, it crashes with :

QPixmap: It is not safe to use pixmaps outside the GUI thread
QPixmap: It is not safe to use pixmaps outside the GUI thread
QPixmap: It is not safe to use pixmaps outside the GUI thread
QPainter::begin: Cannot paint on a null pixmap

        Major opcode: 62 (X_CopyArea)
        Resource ID: 0x0
        Serial No: 35505 (35505)

Upon removal of openoffice.org-kde everything is fine again.

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

space_agent,

Do you still have this problem with current up to date final Ubuntu 9.10?

[space_agent (glykocalyx)]

Chris,

Yes I still have the same behaviour in the final and it renders oocalc useless with the openoffice.org-kde package installed. Additionaly the text in some menus is cut in half.As far as I observed the package was not updated during the transition to the final release.

[Bentzia (fjsanchez)]

Hello:
Same problem and same solution as the space_agent'2 one

Using a totally updated Kubuntu 9.10 on a amd64 architecture.
When I want to select and drag some cells (many, not only one) in oocalc, it crashes with:

QPixmap: It is not safe to use pixmaps outside the GUI thread
QPixmap: It is not safe to use pixmaps outside the GUI thread
QPixmap: It is not safe to use pixmaps outside the GUI thread
QPainter::begin: Cannot paint on a null pixmap

        Major opcode: 62 (X_CopyArea)
        Resource ID: 0x0
        Serial No: 21373 (21373)

Removing openoffice.org-kde saved the day (openoffice.org is uglier but works fine)

[dnh (dnh)]

Same problem here using OO3.1.1, FF3.5 and Zotero on Kubuntu Karmic 9.10.

[KasimirK (berlin)]

same here

[dickkniep (dickkniep)]

We have the same problem here with PyUno trying to connect to OpenOffice writer. It is serious as our product hinges on the integration with OO.

[Roman Shtylman (shtylman)]

I have a fix for this but I do not know if it will be back-ported to 3.1.1 (the fix is for the 3.2 line).

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Fixed in 10.04 with the 3.2 RC4 upload.

[MarcoPau (marcopau)]

Do you mean we have to wait for lucid or we can work it around under karmic? I have the same errors, Base is crashing when compiling forms and stuff like that.

Thank you
