Hello. I'm looking for pointers on this StarOffice Problem. The system is a Debian 2.1, 2.0.36 system on an Asus P2B-F PII 350Mhz, 128M ram. The installation is the home user setup from the Debian install.
With SO5.0, 5.01 and 5.1, the mail and news functions do not work reliably. In fact, SO locks up after the first attempt at fetching some mail or news and then uses almost all the computer's resources in cpu time. It appears several soffice.bin are running during this time. I've counted as many as 6 soffice.bin items running at the time of the lockups. All the news and mail parameters are apparently setup correctly and double checked and on a fresh boot and first start of SO, mail can be fetched before the lockup occurs. Attempts to access subscribed newsgroup messages doesn't occur at all. On killing SO and then restarting, an attempt to fetch mail does nothing except that the icon in the bottom right of the SO window shows a download attempt and stops at 10%. SO is then locked and must be killed. I was able to get a newsgroup list one time. The libs look OK. The problem happens either connected directly through the ISP or through another Linux IPMasq box. Netscape mail and news work fine and with no problems. All other SO5.xx function appears to be working normally with no lockups. The built-in browser works without problems. Any suggestions on how to track down the problem would be appreciated. I can provide more info if I know what to look for. thanks, -- tony mollica [EMAIL PROTECTED]
