Hello,
I'm having a weird problem with the non-free StarOffice (5.2)
application which I assume is related to the new Xfree (or more
specifically, the xprt) package. StarOffice now doesn't start
anymore, while a few days before it worked fine. I've done an strace
-f and it goes into an infinite loop like this:
---cut---
[pid 621] select(8, [7], NULL, [7], {0, 10000} <unfinished ...>
[pid 638] <... time resumed> NULL) = 1001867019
[pid 638] access("/home/mcornils/.Xpdefaults", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
[pid 638] access("/usr/local/office52/share/xp3/Xpdefaults", F_OK)
= 0
[pid 638] access("/usr/local/office52/share/xp3/Xpdefaults", W_OK)
= -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
[pid 638] stat64("/usr/local/office52/share/xp3/Xpdefaults",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2653, ...}) = 0
[pid 638] gettimeofday({1001867019, 359285}, NULL) = 0
[pid 638] gettimeofday({1001867019, 359338}, NULL) = 0
[pid 638] gettimeofday({1001867019, 359384}, NULL) = 0
[pid 638] rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [RTMIN], 8) = 0
[pid 638] rt_sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, [RTMIN], [RTMIN], 8) = 0
[pid 638] gettimeofday({1001867019, 359557}, NULL) = 0
[pid 638] nanosleep({2, 999774000}, <unfinished ...>
[pid 621] <... select resumed> ) = 0 (Timeout)
[pid 621] gettimeofday({1001867019, 371513}, NULL) = 0
[pid 621] sched_yield() = 0
[pid 621] select(8, [7], NULL, [7], {0, 10000}) = 0 (Timeout)
[pid 621] gettimeofday({1001867019, 378925}, NULL) = 0
[pid 621] sched_yield() = 0
[pid 621] select(8, [7], NULL, [7], {0, 10000}) = 0 (Timeout)
[pid 621] gettimeofday({1001867019, 389026}, NULL) = 0
[pid 621] sched_yield() = 0
[... goes on for a while, gets back to the Xpdefaults lines
again...]
--cut--
Unfortunately, I don't have any further evidence of the problem
being caused by xprt except the file name. Also, I'm not exactly an
expert on system calls, I'm not sure what goes wrong here although I
suspect the select.
Any ideas? Advice? Requests for more information? (well, this is
Debian sid with Brandens experimental packages; I'm trying to
downgrade to sid Xfree now. libc has been downgraded to 2.2.4-1 due
to the mozilla breakage, X is started via startx into plain X and
then startkde due to the xdm/kdm breakage)
Yours Malte #8-)
