AS I am building a new system, it seemed a good idea to download the latest Open Office (1.0.1) rather than simply copy 1.0 across from my old system.
I am running (new system) testing, BTW. So, I download the tarball, untar, install as root, change to a non-root window and run setup (as per install instructions). Everything is fine to this point. But them why I try and run it, it looks OK, but as soon as I press a key or click on the mouse out (in the xterm from which I ran soffice) comes the message: Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence some-hex-value)! and OO freezes. Rebooting doesn't help. And oddly, running soffice as root does work, which makes it sound like a permissions problem, but I've no idea what. Anyone any ideas> Or do I got back to version 1.0? (Which I've happily run under Mandrake 8.1, Suse 8.0 and the current unstable debian). -- |Deryk Barker, Computer Science Dept. | Music does not have to be understood| |Camosun College, Victoria, BC, Canada| It has to be listened to. | |email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |phone: +1 250 370 4452 | Hermann Scherchen. | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
