[Solved] com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException

Post by gatomas »

Hi,

I just installed 3.1, as root, on a Linux box with no prior installation of ANY Open Office. Here are my steps:

1. downloaded OOo_3.1.0_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz
2. Opened an terminal
3. From the command line I copied OOo_3.1.0_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz to /tmp
4. tar xvzf OOo_3.1.0_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz
5. cd to OOO310_m11_native_packed-2_en-US.9399/RPMS
6. rpm -Uvih *rpm
7. change users (su -) to sarahpalin (assuming it is existing)
8. cd into the Default installation directory: /opt/openoffice.org3/program
9. typed on the command line ./swriter

A few seconds later, I get this error message on my terminal, "terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException'"

change user back to root
1. As root, I cd into the Default installation directory: /opt/openoffice.org3/program
2. typed on the command line ./swriter
3. Open Office Writer launches, no problem


First of all, It's frustrating to decipher this error except that its a runtime exception. [answer: Ok, I google'd it found out that it might be something OO not being able to writer to user's directory the necessary config files, is that true?]

Second, I already read http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/ ... 74&t=12426 and does not help because I did a clean install on a machine that never had a user profile.

Would someone please advise me on what is wrong? Authors? Anyone?

Thank you in advance!

Did you try to not use su? So logout as root, login as the user, start OOo?

BTW: Which Linux distribution are you using?
OOo 3.2.0 on Ubuntu 10.04 • OOo 3.2.1 on Windows 7 64-bit and MS Windows XP

Thanks for the reply. I am running Red Hat Linux.

I tried your suggestion by logging off as root and logging back on as a user. However, it didn't work.

I did notice that if I cleared the cache on the following directories:

/opt/openoffice.org3/share/uno_packages
/usr/local/<user>/.openoffice.org/3/user/uno_packages

it seems to work but I don't fully understand it. :?
