Hello, I have StarOffice 5.1 installed on a client computer (home directories autofs mounted from an nfs server, and nis passwords), but it doesn't run anymore since I started to update slink (it worked ok with glibc2.0.7). It blocks in soffice_dir/bin/javaldx. I tested setting the HOME to some local directory and it works fine.
First (some early partial upgrade) it hanged completely, in particular I could kill soffic and javaldx but this last binary continued to exist as a process (having a D in "ps afx"), and "w" showed me a very high cpuload (equal to the number of floating javaldx processes + the real cpuload). Then, after upgrading again, soffice started to work ok, and now (uptodate potato) it doesn't work but I can kill javaldx's and the cpuload doesn't grow. Now I am running kernel 2.1.14, glibc 2.1.3-8, etc (completely up to date potato a few days ago). With the same packages/versions, Soffice runs ok in the server computer. Has anyone had the same problem? Thanks!! [ If you answer, please CC your email to me as I am not subscribed to this list ] Regards, Ariel
