User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100317 SUSE/3.5.9-0.1.1 Firefox/3.5.9 I do use the latest stabel build from the build service with a debian server from which I mount the home dir as cifs volume. OpenOffice 3.2 does not start because of a failing ftruncate. I already filed a bug with OpenOffice: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=108106 The problem is a failing ftruncate call. The strace part is this: ------------------- 6137 21:23:32.640752 open("/home/students/extra/ddonald/.execoooNaOh2T", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600) = 22 6137 21:23:32.641888 unlink("/home/students/extra/ddonald/.execoooNaOh2T") = 0 6137 21:23:32.642509 ftruncate(22, 4096) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 6137 21:23:32.643109 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 22, 0) = 0xb0167000 6137 21:23:32.643245 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_SHARED, 22, 0) = 0xb0166000 ---------------------------- I think the ftruncate call is not supposed to fail. The call does not fail with Samba Server version 3.3.2, but it does fail with Samba Server version 3.4.2. Bye, Frank Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. use samba server 3.4.x 2. mount home dir with cifs from that server 3. start OpenOffice 3.2 Actual Results: The splash screen appears, the progressbar begins to fill, then suddenly the splash screen disapears and the applications ends. Expected Results: The splash screen should appear and the progress bar should fill completely.
Please add the c code you talked about in the initial comment of the ooo bug tracker. As 3.5.3 is the current Samba release please test against this version as well. Builds are available from the network:samba:STABLE repository.
As this is very likely an enhancement I lower the importance level.
I guess you can close the bug report as in OOo the problem was fixed and the bug closed.
Closing on request of the reporter.
