Description IOAN NEMES 2011-12-26 21:14:14 UTC
Greetings,

Downloaded and inatalled LibreOffice 3.44, platform:

[inemes@dionysus etc]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2 (Santiago)

[inemes@dionysus etc]$ uname -a
Linux dionysus.transylvania.org.au 2.6.32-220.2.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Dec 13 16:21:34 EST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

from here:

[inemes@dionysus RPMS]$ pwd
/home/inemes/Software/LibreOffice344/tmp/LibO_3.4.4rc2_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-US/RPMS

NO ERRORS WERE REPORTED DURING INSTALL, INCLUDING DESKTOP INTEGRATION.

However, Libre Office fails to start silently (no error(s) are displayed) at the spalsh screen `Enabling Report Builder` .....

Where can I look for errors (log files, etc.), nothig in /var/log or /opt/libreoffice3.4

Regards,

Ioan

1 machine in the world that does not start with an approved version is not a blocker

@reporter:
I can not see how you try to launch LibO

May I ask you to read  hints on <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport> carefully?
Then please:
- Write a meaningful Summary describing exactly what the problem is
- Attach a sample document (not only screenshot) if the problem seems document 
  related
- Attach screenshots with comments if you believe that that might explain the 
  problem better than a text comment. Best way is to insert your screenshots
  into a DRAW document and to add comments that explain what you want to show
- Contribute a step by step instruction containing every key press and every 
  mouse click how to reproduce your problem, starting with the first action 
  after your operating system has booted
- add information 
  -- Why you reported this at a WRITER bug
  -- what EXACTLY is unexpected
    -- no process launched or only invisible?
  -- concerning your PC 
  -- concerning your OS (Language)
  -- concerning your LibO localization (UI language)
  –- Libo settings that might be related to your problems 
  -- how you launch LibO and how you opened the sample document

  -- everything else crossing your mind after you read linked texts

Comment 7 sasha.libreoffice 2012-09-17 05:07:25 UTC
currently no problem. Changing to WFM
Comment 8 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2012-09-17 13:35:12 UTC
I think WFM is wrong here. WFM does not mean "With a completely different systemI  can't see any problems", but 
"I tested with a System very similar to reporter's and a current LibO Version (see Whiteboard target info in parenthesis), tried hard and intensively with various settings to reproduce the bug, but I can not /no longer reproduce the problem. So it seems it's a problem that is limited to reporter's PC or the problem has vanished."

@sasha:
"Currently" is too rare. It seems reporter had a problem with LibO 3.4.4 and 
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2 (Santiago)". What LibO version on what Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release version did you test that you can say (with WFM) that the problem has vanished? 

Please do not change Status from INVALID to WFM without detailed plausible information in your comment what shows that there is no general problem for systems similar to reporter's and a current named LibO version.

Currently the reporter did not contribute requested info, what makes this Bug INVALID. 

Please feel free change status again if new info is available.
