In addition, I have now noticed that even okular does not start anymore after that infamous apt-get update/upgrade with i386 testing:
francesco@deb32:~$ okular okular(3765): you need to call Settings::instance before using KCrash: Application 'okular' crashing... KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/drkonqi from kdeinit sock_file=/home/francesco/.kde/socket-deb32/kdeinit4__0 Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/drkonqi directly drkonqi(3766): Unable to find an internal debugger that can work with the KCrash backend [1]+ Stopped okular francesco@deb32:~$ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Francesco Pietra <chiendar...@gmail.com> Date: Mon, Jul 2, 2012 at 3:52 PM Subject: i386 testing: java not recognizing its libraries and libreoffice not launching To: debian-users <debian-user@lists.debian.org> Following update/upgrade, java does not recognize libjli.so any more. I had to set LD_LIBRARY... to remedy. Nonetheless, libreoffice does not start any more: francesco@deb32:~$ libreoffice terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException' francesco@deb32:~$ I thought it is a java problem. What else? Incidentally, I turned to AbiWORD for my .dot table. Unless my i386 testing has major problems, that text editor is simply unusable for complex tables. In general, while at the linux prompt Debian works well (in particular amd64 testing, here in use for a GPU-CPU cluster), once gnome is launched installed, problems arise. Too many things that in science are not used, too much done automatically, and often erroneously. I am at gnome simply for "gchempaint", other wise there is no decent pdf reader not CD burner, which are useful to any purpose. I had to install okular and k3b, making the complex even more complex. With such stuff as gnome, which even pretends to take care of upgrading, newcomers will not even learn how to mount a device. Thanks for advice about libreoffice francesco pietra PS: I am not at the stable i386 version simply to have a correspondence with testing amd64 which we have to use for recent nvidia drivers for GPU-CPU clusters. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
