------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jul 3 05:03:53 -0700 2006 ------- I see that this is resolved and "worksforme". But are users really expected to know how to use strace to get openoffice running? It still happens in 2.0.3. I'd like to vote to include a friendly error message, for example, with something like this patch: --- /opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice.old 2006-07-03 12:52:52.000000000 +0100 +++ /opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice 2006-07-03 12:55:44.000000000 +0100 @@ -231,6 +231,16 @@ # execute soffice binary + +if [ -e /dev/dri/card0 ] ; then + if [ ! -w /dev/dri/card0 ] ; then + echo OpenOffice needs write permissions to /dev/dri/card0 + exit -1 + fi +fi + + + "$sd_prog/$sd_binary" "$@" & trap 'kill -9 $!' TERM wait $! FWIW, I'm using Debian Etch. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
