cant save under edgy

I have also seen this, as has Vincent Untz. It also saves when trying to create a PDF (not surprisingly)

I think that this actually has to do with the file dialog. I can save as long as the document already exists. However, I get the same behavior in Insert/Picture/From File. The dialog opens, but openoffice crashes.

yes - open does not work either. hope this gets fixed soon...

I have this same issue. Its a bit of a show stopper, as not being able to use save as means i cant save as .doc for tafe...

I'm attaching a stacktrace from gdb.
I'm hoping its usefull.
kk

I can confirm this report as well.

I can confirm this as well.

same happens to me under the Spreadsheet portion of the program. Saving/Opening crashes the app and re-launches, which crashes again and re-launches...

The documents that you are working on are just lost.

This also causes a crash for me on Edgy.

Confirmed here, too, on Edgy.

This appears related to bug 59232, as launching Openoffice with "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3 oowriter" makes it not crash anymore.

Well, then the solution is easy: rebuild OpenOffice.org 2 with the new
dbus dependency. However, the only people who can do that are the
devs... Come on devs!

Yeah seriously. This needs to be fixed ASAP as I can't get any work done. Right now I'm using gEdit to write documents but it is not sufficient.

All Openoffice applications crash for me on save in Edgy.

you should never use a development version to "get any work done". needs to be fixed, please see my recent email on -devel and -users about 2.0.4 rc1.

Try it:

#sudo echo"LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3 /usr/bin/ooffice $1 $2 $3 $4" > /usr/bin/ooffice2

after.... open the file /usr/share/applications/ooo-writer.desktop

# sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/ooo-writer.desktop

and change the line 5 from "Exec=ooffice -writer %U"

to: Exec=ooffice2 -writer %U

to the same for other files:

/usr/share/applications/ooo-base.desktop
/usr/share/applications/ooo-draw.desktop
/usr/share/applications/ooo-math.desktop
/usr/share/applications/ooo-calc.desktop
/usr/share/applications/ooo-impress.desktop

remember that only is need change the "ooffice" parameter, on line 5 on each file!

If preffer.... download the files attached!

You yet can do:

# alias ooffice="LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3 /usr/bin/ooffice $1 $2 $3 $4"

on shell, or put it on /etc/profile

Finally.... be happy!

That's an overelaborate version of the vmware workaround :)

The "fix" is to rebuild openoffice against proper dbus, which will be done
with the next version of OOo uploaded to Edgy, apparently.

If i disable gnome dialogs for open/save (in OOO's tools windows) the problem disappears.

I'm able to open and save documents by using OOO dialogs instead of gnome ones.

fixed in 2.0.4 rc1

Another backtrace. Hopefully useful:

Adding milestone; duplicates keep coming, and it affects a core functionality of a widely used package.

fixed in 2.0.4

Yeah, 2.0.4rc2 works with no problems. Thx

The bug is still present in hardy, oo.o 2.4.1

no, it was due to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=455304

I had it because of a not properly formatted line in ~/.gtk-bookmarks
