I have a blocking problem with OpenOffice in Gutsy, which is not
resolved by the proposed patch. I mean: I get the error with the
official OpenOffice repository version and with the updated version
available from http://codeprobe.de/tmp/ooo/ (provided by dAniel hAhler).

I'm using OpenOffice in server mode: I run it on Ubuntu Server 7.10,
using xvfb (so I have no gnome desktop). I'm developing a java
application that makes use of UNO interface to connect to a live OOo
server and do some work on text documents. To achieve this I keep a
running OOo instance with this command:

xvfb-run --server-args='-screen 0 800x600x16' -a
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice -headless -nologo -norestore
-accept="socket,host=0.0.0.0,port=2002;urp;" &

The problem I get is an exception when I try to save the document to disk:
com.sun.star.task.ErrorCodeIOException:  ^Iat
com.sun.star.lib.uno.environments.remote.Job.remoteUnoRequestRaisedException(Job.java:187)

 ^Iat
 $Proxy60.storeAsURL(Unknown Source)

Please note that:
- it's not a write permission issue: I tried to chmod 777 the destination 
directory with no success, and the OOo engine is able to create the file with 0 
length;
- this whole system (my own application, the OOo headless server installation 
and configuration) works fine in Ubuntu 6.10 (my OOo version is 2.0.4).
- I tried in Ubuntu Server 7.04, with OOo 2.2 with no success (there is another 
type of error: while inserting an image into the document, but the exception is 
aways about UNO calls)
- the same installation works fine with OOo 2.3 on windows xp, without changing 
a single line of code, so I'm confident it's not an UNO API issue from OOo 2.0 
(which works on Ubuntu 6.10 and windows xp) to OOo 2.3 (which works only on 
windows xp).

It's almost a week of hard work that I'm trying to resolve this problem
with no hope, so now I'm forced (due to my deadline) to setup my
production environment with an Ubuntu Server 6.10 (the only system I was
able to make working).

For what I can see, it seems to me the OOo version of Ubuntu is quite
buggy: maybe I have to consider myself lucky to have at last one version
of Ubuntu Server where all the software I need is working. As an
application developer which wants to use Ubuntu and OOo-on-the-server I
would like to debug deeper this issue, but it doesn't seem to be an OOo
core issue (so I cannot expect much help from the OOo people). If you
(Ubuntu OOo package maintainer) agree this is a package issue, I would
be glad to supply all information I can to fix the problem.

Best regards,
