OpenOffice.org hangs on File > Save
OS: SuSE 9.2 Professional
Kernel: 2.6.8-24.10-default Software: OpenOffice.org 1.1.3-16 (from the distro) Description of the problem: Selecting "Save" and "Save As..." hangs OpenOffice.org, both as regular user and root. Have to "kill" the process (losing any work). My solution: Uninstall all of OpenOffice.org, using YaST. Download the OpenOffice archive from the OpenOffice.org download page and install it following their instructions. No more hangs. (Newer version, too.) What I think was going on: Probably something to do with the KDE extensions. The process list ("ps -A") showed a defunct process having to do with the KDE init-file-something-or-other (obviously I should have written it down). One of these days I'll test that theory by installing OpenOffice.org but leaving out the KDE extensions package. |
SuSE probably has KDE integrated OOo in 9.2. There was a news some time ago, that there is a version of OOo with KDE menus, and dialog boxes and I tried it out.
KDE integrated OOo was pretty neat and looked great in KDE. The opening of save, open etc. dialogues was horribly slow though. I dumped it. |
