Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
All mailcap entries calling openoffice contain: "soffice -no-oosplash"
>From a terminal, "soffice -no-oosplash" fails:
terminate called after throwing an instance of
'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException'
But, "soffice -nologo" works perfectly!
After having a look at the script /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice, I tried
some variants and got the following results:
calling soffice.bin or oosplash.bin from a terminal:
# /path/to/soffice.bin -nologo --> works
# /path/to/soffice.bin -no-oosplash --> crashes as described above
# /path/to/soffice.bin --> crashes whith the same error !!!
# /path/to/oosplash.bin --> works as proposed
# /path/to/oosplash.bin -nologo --> starts without splash screen
# /path/to/oosplash.bin -no-oosplash --> starts with splash screen !!!
As the shellscript soffice chooses one of the executables on the existence of
the nologo or no-oosplash options, soffice.bin will normally never be called
without one of these options. But it can't run without "-nologo", which I
consider buggy at least.
The different behavior of oosplash.bin on the "-nologo" or "-no-oosplash"
options makes me think that "-no-oosplash" shouldn't be used anymore.
So, all openoffice.org mailcap entries have to be changed from "soffice
-no-oosplash..." to "soffice -nologo..." in order to call openoffice
programs via mailcap. (In a second step, the viability of soffice.bin
without options should be addressed.)
