[gentoo-user] Abiword 2.2.11 crashes

[gentoo-user] Abiword 2.2.11 crashes

[Adrian]

Greetings all;

Suddenly I've stated having a problem with Abiword 2.2.11 -- every time
I cut or copy text it crashes.  This version was working fine.  

I checked bugs.gentoo and couldn't find a bug report regarding this
situation. 

I wonder if it has anything to do with the programs which I have
upgraded lately, those being:

I'm gonna try emerging Abiword again tonight to see if that helps.

Any observations?  Thank you very much.

If you run 'emerge -pet abiword', you'll see that it indirectly 
depends on orbit.  A 'revdep-rebuild -p -v' will show what needs 
rebuilding.  Otherwise you've found a bug.

Thank you --  I did the revdep-rebuild and found some other problems,
but didn't seem to be a problem with orbit.  I tried recompiling orbit,
but that didn't help.  I was gonna go back to version 2.12.0 but it's no
longer in protage.  A manual install of orbit 2.12.0 resulted in Abiword
not being able to find the libraries.  Thus I'm back where I started. 
I'm gonna call it a bug and go from there.

Thanks again for the help.

Not with orbit directly; you did rebuild libbonobo?

Ouch.  Such things shouldn't be necessary.  Better flee forward:  
echo "app-office/abiword  ~x86" >>/etc/portage/package.keywords and 
emerge abiword.  (You may want to do the same for abiword-plugins.)

First off, thanks for all of your suggestions and help so far.  I really
appreciate it.

I emerged libbonobo, and bonobo.  Didn't help anything.

Well, shock and surprise.  Abiword 2.4.2 does exactly the same thing.

Does the output below contain anything relevant to the problem?  This is
probably going to be the excuse I need to finally do a fresh install of
Gentoo and start all over.  
 Thanks much.  - Adrian

You do use --oneshot when re-emerging something.  It doesn't matter 
for now, but it keeps your dependencies from getting tangled up 
later on.

Oof.  Yours is an old system.  The 2.8.* series were phased out 
seven months ago.  Okay, first do an 'emerge --sync', then

  emerge --oneshot transcode control-center gnome-applets

This will update those package to more recent versions.  Then remove 
the .revdep* files and do a revdep-rebuild again. If all libraries 
are okay now, then

  emerge -Dua world

And then see if abiword is working again.  Make sure you don't have 
things in /etc/portage/package.mask or similar files that could get 
in the way of the recent stable packages.

Greetings -- and thank you again for your assistance.

Interesting development.  I have discovered the abiword works just fine
when run as root.  The problem only occurs when run as user.

Any ideas??  A permission problem? But where?

Re: [gentoo-user] Abiword 2.2.11 crashes -- solved

[Adrian]

Ok, for the record.  I am an idiot.

I simple deleted ~/.AbiSuite and everything works fine now.  The part
that is even sadder is that I should have known to try this first thing,
right away.  

For what it's worth, I did learn some new things from you when it comes
to fixing my system.  So thank you again for your assistance.

I will now hang my head in shame.   :\
