Hi, I'm forwarding this from the Users list as Mike suggested. It's a side-issue to my attempt to debug an OpenOffice problem, but it would be nice to know why some TDE components try to write to /etc/tqt3/tqt_plugins_3.5rc.tmp, which of course is not writable by non-root accounts?

Hi Leslie,
Looking at the stack trace the problem was deep within OpenOffice, probably while analyzing a true type font while cataloging fonts, perhaps while preparing a menu of fonts.
The mention of gtk2 engine seems to be spurious. Nor does there seem to be any connection with TDE.
Possibly an OpenOffice bug or a broken font.
But then this is all wrapped in a "dp_misc::syncRepositories()". Are you syncing labels? Syncing with OneDrive? Syncing something else? I can only guess what that function might do. You may need to talk to an OpenOffice list.

Mike, When I start OpenOffice from the command line, I see this:
| @16:27:21 ─▶leslie@pinto◀─ | wd=~ | $ /opt/openoffice4/program/soffice | [2023/07/18 16:27:35.332] TQSettings::sync: failed to open '/etc/tqt3/tqt_plugins_3.5rc.tmp' for writing | Application Error[kcrash] TDECrash: Application 'soffice.bin-gtk-tqt-application' crashing... | rc=253
Probably this is a red-herring, but why would an application (or Trinity?) be trying to write a file into /etc/? (I tried making that file world-writable, but I get the same error.)

I have seen this file also in my local logs, but it is harmless. I guess it is from some plugin - the default setting.
However this has nothing to do with the OOO issue Mike has. I suggested that Mike removes the gtk2-tqt-engine as it was causing problems, but he did not follow on that.

Well, it turns out that my problem had nothing to do with Trinity (which is what I was assuming); there were bits of an older release of OpenOffice lurking in my system. I removed them and reinstalled OO, and it's working now. Thanks for your suggestions.
