Confirmed that installing openoffice.org-base (the database component of oo.o) makes the problem go away.
Added upstream bug watch, updating also the description ** Description changed: Binary package hint: openoffice.org - It seems a similar bug as reported # 6840, though that one was fixed in - 2005. When going to "tools" and then "Bibliography Database", it crashes - with no warning. It is possible to recover the work on hand. + Running the "Bibliography Database" tool in Writer (found under the tools menu) without the openoffice.org-base package installed crashes OpenOffice. The message on the console is: + terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::loader::CannotActivateFactoryException' - Running on a Compaq 6720S. + Installing openoffice.org-base makes the issue go away. + + Reproduced also with 3.2.0rc4-1ubuntu1 + ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Thu Feb 25 20:33:28 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release i386 (20091028.5) Package: openoffice.org-core 1:3.1.1-5ubuntu1.1 ProcEnviron: - LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8 - PATH=(custom, no user) - LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8 + PATH=(custom, no user) + LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-19.56-generic SourcePackage: openoffice.org Uname: Linux 2.6.31-19-generic i686 -- Open office crashes when trying to set up Bibliography Database https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/527938 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
