OxygenOffice presentation keeps crashing

[paule]

I have tried OxygenOffice 2.4 and 3.01 on my (Turbo) Pup 4.21 machine and everything seems to work fine except when I try to go into slide show mode in presentation. Oxygen Office immediately crashes and goes into document recovery mode. I can edit/create presentations fine, and I would like to use Oxygen Office as it has more backgrounds to chose from, but not being able to show the presentations in slide show mode, is a deal breaker. OpenOffice 3 works just fine on the same machine and puppy full install. Anyone else run into this, and is there a fix?

cheers, Paul

Hmm no sure...maybe try Go Office which is what oxygen office is built on.
Impress uses shed loads of ram...check that you are not running out.

Have you run it from a terminal to see if there are any error messages?

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the reply. Running soffice in a terminal results in these error messages:

sorry for the screen shot, but I don't know how to capture the text itself.

I'm not sure what to do to get around these errors.

Hmm does that dbus error occur at the time it crashes?...I don't think dbus is running by default but could be wrong and may not be related .
As you have no java I wonder if it might help to turn it off in the OO settings although I can run slideshows without dbus or java.

ps highlight the text and paste with middle click from the terminal

Hi Mike,

I have installed java, so no longer get the java error, but the other error occurs when oxygen office crashes.

type

Code: Select all

dbus-uuidgen --ensure

and the dbus error will go away....

ENSURE not UNsure !!!
Copy it, then hit both mouse buttons (or use the wheel to click if you have one) to paste into terminal

thanks for the spelling check... bleeping old eyes...

Having done as you suggest, I now get this error:

# /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.so.2: undefined symbol: dbus_watch_get_unix_fd

To be honest, quite WHY dbus is needed at all is a mystery to me, but perhaps it is too hard to turn off when compiling Oxygen Office.

Anyhow, here's a PET of dbus-glib, a matching dbus PET as well, I hope it fixes the errors.

(The DEV pets shouldn't be needed, but if they are I have put them there too.)

Sikpuppy,

You are a WONDERFUL person!!! Oxygen office now no longer crashes in presentation slide show mode. I do get the following errors when I run it from a terminal but they do not seem to be of any operational significance.

Anything I should be concerned about here?

Thanks again, very very much!

I doubt it. Probably some function call to control the screensaver on Gnome (so it doesn't start halfway through a presentation)...which it can't find since you are not using Gnome I'd ignore it.

Nice one...for information purposes the retro puppies need the 0.71 version of libdbus-glib ...this library is also needed by the latest firefox....just incase anyone is getting the same problem but using a retro version.

Just curious does 4.21 have this lib as standard or was it added and if so from where

No official (read stable and BK or WhoDo) Puppy has Dbus AFAIK.
