Cant run over Application Server?

Post by RobinVossen »

I run OpenOffice on my Application server and he gets called at with ssh -X openoffice.
It works fine. He can just boot and stuff I can do basic stuff. eg (Bold, Italic, underline, Center_text).
But When i want to do something a little more 'Advanced' like Auto-Numbers or something like that the Application just Crashes..
does anyone have an idea how to fix? (Or what the problem can be?)

Cheers,
Robin

Have you read the Forum Survival Guide?

What OS and OOo version are you using?

A quick check here (just "ssh -X localhost" then run OOo) works ok.
AOO4/LO5 • Linux • Fedora 23

Well, I can run OpenOffice.
But Advanced Functions die.
Eg. Auto-Numbering.
And yea I did read the Survile Guide a while ago.


Anyhow, its on a Gentoo Box with version 2.3 of OOo.

Anyhow, what can be the problem?

Since well This might be a flaw or something in OOo that the Developers might want to look on.
What also is kinda important I guess is that the Application server doesnt have X11.Org.
Maybe there is a Dependency thats not documented. Or anything like that.

Are you using the precompiled OOo binaries from Sun (app-office/openoffice-bin) or your own compiled version (app-office/openoffice)? If it's your own compiled version, what USE flags and MAKE options are set?

You might want to take a look at the following thread, and some of the links it contains, for information about how to run OOo headless: oowriter in cron

According to that thread, it looks like headless OOo does need some X libraries. But it might be that portage has allowed you to compile the dependencies of OOo without X and therefore without those needed libraries. If that's the case, then it's an ebuild/portage problem.
If your problem has been solved, please edit this thread's initial post and add "[Solved]" to the subject line. Thanks!

X-Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
Resource ID: 0x800bf2
Serial No: 50950 (50950)
After doing:
export SAL_SYNCHRONIZE=1
it runs fine, but its Slow like hell.
Looks like it has to Render everything again and again..

SO I did do export SAL_SYNCHRONIZE=0
and it was still slow.. And it doesnt crash anymore.
Ah well It looks like it works.
Thanks all :)

Cheers,
Robin

ps.
Yea its Selfcompiled from the eBuild :)
