Hi,
I'm new in the area of Fedora, but anyway, tried to install the test
release, just because of my SATA hdd.
I've installed OpenOffice, and it just worked out of the box, but for
some reason I cannot start it now, and gets the following:
/usr/lib/openoffice.org1.9.104/program/soffice: line 247: 2912
Segmentation fault "$sd_prog/$sd_binary" "$@"
...I have installed plenty of programs after OpenOffice, so there is
probably one of those generating this fault, but which one is the wise
question ;-)
Unless you installed something that modified OO.o or one of its
dependencies, it should not be related to something you installed.
This is a test release and sometimes things break in a test release.
I don't use OO.o - so I don't know what your problem might be - but try
verifying the OO.o rpm's and make sure your OO.o isn't damaged.
When you installed other software, did you install from source or did
you use a package repository? Ideally, you should only install software
via rpm (prevents conflicts) and ideally, you should only install via
rpm from a package repository designed to work with your release of
Fedora - IE Fedora Extras and
rpm.livna.org
Some repositories don't mix well and can cause problems, others are not
publishing packages designed to work with rawhide, etc.
Check bugzilla - if your OO.o problem is a Fedora problem, it is popular
enough of an app that there is possibly a bugzilla about your issue,
perhaps even with a workaround.
