Hello,
I have an LTSP network setup with about 5-10 users on it at any given
time. It mostly runs fine, but openoffice has been giving me trouble,
it hangs for someone about every other day. When it does this the user
cannot open openoffice, cannot see any running instance of openoffice,
but is listed in ps aux about 6 times.
pkill rarely fixes it, normally a kill -9 is required. I have noticed
that when it happens it seems to be when the user has opened a document
from an email attachment(email client is thunderbird). Of course this
doc is temporarily in the /tmp folder.
Does anyone else have this problem and if so has any solution beyond
manually killing processes exist?
Ive been wondering if it is linked to the fact all users are using the
same tmp folder, and the files are somehow colliding or something.
Although this can be changed in openoffice, it cannot be changed in
thunderbird via options that I can see, so it will still open in /tmp.
been out of it for a while, but I remember having similar problems once
with OOo 1.x on K12LTSP, solved by a patch back then, and haven't seen
it in the current SUSE 9.x + LTSP installation.
The bug also made it impossible for the users to open the files they'd
saved, without root setting things straight for them.
It's been a while since, so this should only apply for older OOo
versions. AFAIR, the problem was OOo not being able to write on certain
areas of hard disk (above a certaing address). If that's not it, I hope
it provided a hint.
