FVWM: OpenOffice & LibreOffice crashing w/ opensuse's fvwm2-2.5.26-47.1.i586

[j debert]

Before I trouble anyone with details, is this already a known issue?

When OpenOffice is first started during a session, it dies silently.
Next time, it dies and java, OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6
1.9.7) (suse-1.2.1-i386), also crashes with a lengthy crash report.

When LibreOffice is started, whether it's the first or subsequent
times, it dies silently.

Both work OK w/ gnome & kde4 but I'm not using (and don't want to use)
either one.

I haven't tried using Ooo w/ fvwm for a year or so. It worked back then.

thanks in advance,

jd

I've never had a problem, but do try using FVWM 2.6.1

Oh, and this is all moot without a corefile, so if you can get one of
those... You'll need to compile FVWM with debug symbols, setting "-g -ggdb"
in CFLAGS, for instance.

I don't know if this is of any help*, but I'm using openSuSE 11.4 on
x86_64 and LibreOffice works fine for me under the fvwm which comes
with the distro:

fvwm2-2.5.26-52.2.x86_64
libreoffice-3.3.1.2-1.2.2.x86_64


* I realize I'm using the 64-bit version and you're not, but thought
I'd mention it's working for me with 64-bit.

Can you get me a corefile? I really can't do more than that until then.

It may well be a problem with 11.3, which is not surprising. Things
that work fine in one version are often broken in the next and
vice-versa. Seems to be a SuSE trademark of sorts, actually. There are
other significant problems w/ 11.3 besides this that have me looking
forward to the next release.

At present I'm beset by time and space issues unfortunately. It's
going to be a little while.

Just for info, OpenOffice and LibreOffice also do not work with
metacity, windowmaker and all the other non-KDE/non-Gnome wm's
available with OpenSuSE 11.3. Not here, at least. So it's not a
problem with fvwm. I'm fairly certain the problem lies with
OpenOffice/LibreOffice or more likely with the SuSE versions.

Hi

You are probably correct, I use FVWM2 2.6.1 in slackware
and have no issues with LibreOffice and in the past OpenOffice
was fine.

Do you have both installed at the same time ?
Maybe remove both and install just one.
