Wanted to comment on the fact, that ooffice opens with failure depending on the command line argument.
The following commands work fine for me, assuming I'm in my home directory pwd # /home/sebastian soffice --anything touch helloworld.odt; soffice helloworld.odt touch hellobigbigworld.odt; soffice hellobigbigworld.odt touch hellobigbigbigworld.odt; soffice hellobigbigbigworld.odt NOW, by increasing the length of the filename by 1 touch hellobigbigbigworlds.odt; soffice hellobigbigbigworlds.odt it does not work any longer and throws the locking assertion failure! Also soffice /home/sebastian/helloworld.odt does NOT work, NOR does cd /tmp soffice --anything touch helloworld.odt; soffice helloworld.odt And this is really strange... If it works or not, not only depends on the filename of the document (or the command line argument in general), but also interacts with the working directory `pwd`! Final note: I'm using ubuntu hardy with kernel release 2.6.24-19-generic on x86_64 AMD architecture and latest updates, especially those concerning the openoffice suite version 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu1, published on 2008-06-17. (I did not change anything in the soffice starting script.) -- hardy, locking assertion failure, xorg/libsdl https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185311 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to pygtk in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
