I'm trying to get OpenOffice to work (required by another software I want to use).  I have successfully installed openoffice, but when I try to start any of its components it fails with

"The application gtk2-tqt-engine (soffice.bin-gtk-tqt-application) crashed and caused the signal 6 (SIGABRT)."

It looks like it's imbedded in OpenOffice? Not sure.  I've attached a trace. Might be related to the desktop I'm using (Trinity)?

I am using the Apache version (present 4.1.10) daily and do not have any issues.

I suggest you remove the gtk2-tqt-engine package and try again. I do not have it installed here.

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.

If there is a filesystem sync operation happening it is either initiated by OpenOffice or just coincidental; I certainly didn't request it. I will see what I get from the OpenOffice mailing list. Thanks,

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.)

Hi Leslie,

My /etc/tqt3/tqt_plugins_3.5rc.tmp owned by root:root, mode 644, and last updated June 22nd. I don't know why it was updated then - I can't find any TDE packages that were installed or upgraded about that time.

Package libtqt3-mt-data is listed as owner of /etc/tqt3/qtrc but I cannot find an official owner of /etc/tqt3/tqt_plugins_3.5rc.tmp .

I think we need to see if the actual TDE devs can shed some light.

You can make /etc/tqt3/tqt_plugins_3.5rc.tmp writeble for evryone and try again. IMO that's not the cause of the problem, gtk2 tqt plugin crashed for certain application (e.g. franz lisp), removing it made things wrk again. other question is: are the gtk2 libraries installed correctly? what's in ~/.xsesson-errors?

Yes, as I said, that's probably a red-herring. It does explain why the syncRepositories() appears in the trace (see Mike's first response).

I have submitted an extract of this thread to the OpenOffice mailing list; so far there has been no response.

Don't want to spoil the fun, but Franz Inc. werde not able to solve the issue.

Yes. I'm probably going to have to ask Rony Flatscher to make it work with LibreOffice.
