[gentoo-user] openoffice fails on qt_plugins_3.3rc

[gentoo-user] openoffice fails on qt_plugins_3.3rc

[james]

Hello,

Openoffice 3.0 failed so I installed  version 3.1.0.


It gives  this message:


QSettings: failed to open file '/usr/qt/3/etc/settings/qt_plugins_3.3rc'
terminate called after throwing an instance of
'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException'



Abiword works. However, I've had trouble with OO in the past, base
on obscure MS fonts missing, so, I'm not sure I have the necessary
fonts install. Also using kde-4.2.4 and gcc-4.1.2.


Any help or ideas are appreciated.

Do you have that file?  If so, what are the permissions on it?

I googled for it and found similar complains but no answers.  That file on
my machines has a different date than any other packages I can see, so I
don't know where it comes from, and apparently a lot of other people don't
know either.

If it helps any, here is how my permissions are set:

root@smoker / # ls -al /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/qt_plugins_3.3rc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3211 Jun 27 16:56
/usr/qt/3/etc/settings/qt_plugins_3.3rc
root@smoker / #

Apparently, it just needs to be readable by everyone.

I have:


rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 Jul  7 22:50 .keep_x11-libs_qt-3
-rw------- 1 root root    0 Dec 30  2008 .qt_plugins_3.3rc.lock
-rw------- 1 root root 3.8K Jul 17 08:13 qt_plugins_3.3rc


so now I have

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 Jul  7 22:50 .keep_x11-libs_qt-3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 Dec 30  2008 .qt_plugins_3.3rc.lock
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.8K Jul 17 08:13 qt_plugins_3.3rc


when I run 'ooffice  RFP-2-973-561-K.doc'

I get:
terminate called after throwing an instance of
'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException'

googline now equery produce anything useful. I did not 
find a related bug report either.

I had this problem with OO 3.0, only recently. I upgrade
to OO 3.1 and still have the problem.


I'm stumped on this one....

The same files open under abiword and when moved via
usbstick to a XP machine.....

Just some data points for comparison:

# ls -l /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4749 Jun 15 03:40 qt_plugins_3.3rc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   27 Apr 16  2008 qtrc

# equery belongs /usr/qt/3/etc/settings
  * Searching for /usr/qt/3/etc/settings ...
x11-libs/qt-3.3.8b-r2 (/usr/qt/3/etc/settings)

I'm wondering about the lock (notice the old date).  Maybe move it to  
somewhere safe and try OO again.

Also are you building OO from source or running the binary version?

I move '.qt_plugins_3.3rc.lock' to
'.qt_plugins_3.3rc.lock.dec30-2008'

Again it fails with this message:

terminate called after throwing an instance of
'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException'


> Also are you building OO from source or running the binary version?

both 3.0 and 3.1.0 are compiled from source. 
Currently it's app-office/openoffice-3.1.0



Any other ideas?

Well, it's definately a permission problem, because as root
I can run OO flawlessly......?



Here are the parent dir permissions:

ls -l /usr/qt/3/etc/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 160 Jul 19 14:54 settings


Here are the content permissions:

ls -al /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  160 Jul 19 14:54 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root   72 Dec 30  2008 ..

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3801 Jul 19 14:50 qt_plugins_3.3rc


Can somebody check these(again) for me?

NB I have  2  more files than you + their locks.
This is OO 3.1.0 (compiled from source) + 'qt-3.3.8b-r1'.

There is also another possibility:  root and you are just different
users, and the problem may lie in your ~/.oo3/ directory.  To test
this idea just rename ~/.oo3 to something else and let OO make a new
one.  If that test fails then you start looking at permissions.

I always keep a spare user account named 'tester' for the same purpose,
just in case the problem is something else in my home directory that
may not be obvious.

Nope same exact error, so it not related to my '.ooo3' dir

I have three 'o' in my dir name....

Well the files we have in common have the same permisions/ownership

but you have a few more than me......



I rebuilt 'x11-libs/qt-3.3.8b-r1' oneshot, but
it did not help fix the problem....


I'm stumped....

Yes, I noticed the 2 extra files. I have the same versions
of OO and qt as you. It works for root, but not james.


It all worked fine until I tried a word file a yesterday (.doc)
Abiword works on all my .doc files and I can use OO as root
on them too, so it's something related to my account...

The new .0003 dir that created as another poster suggested,
did not to help, and indeed it is identical to the previous
one....

stumped....

Well, what exactly creates these files?

root@smoker / # equery belongs /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/qt_plugins_3.3rc
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/qt_plugins_3.3rc in *... ]
root@smoker / #

According to equery, they don't belong to a package.  Does qt create
those when first being used?  If so, maybe rename it then let qt
recreate the file?  I'm not sure where that file comes from but it is in
a etc/ directory so maybe it is corrupt or something.

I dunno.

Try as another user, to make sure it is not some other setting of yours
that is causing the problem.

Well I have tried as another user. Exact same error:


terminate called after throwing an instance 
of 'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException'


I have sync and now run a newer version of office
OO-3.1.0-r1


So I think we can assume it's not anything in the user
files.


thoughts?
