What is your question or comment?

Hello,

Whenever I try to open a file with openoffice writer I get the following errors:

Code: Select all

jeremy@gravemakers:/usr/local/bin> openoffice.org-2.3.1-swriter
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x6f

(process:81689): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2242: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function

(process:81689): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed

(process:81689): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed

and then open office locks. I have to manually kill it. I have the same issue with the port, and the package under FreeBSD 7

I get the same errors when I save a file as well. Can someone give me some pointers as to where to fix this?

thanks,
Jeremy

Edit the OOo startup script and add the following line according to your desktop manager:

Code: Select all

export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome
or
export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde

(Information from that thread: Linux user doesn't like UI).

Thanks, that took care of it. Is that in a FAQ's somewhere?

I edited the subject line.

Don't know. That's not a so frequent issue in fact.
