LeePen | fsmithred: Hi. Any ideas about but #422? OP now says it is devuan-live specific. | 18:59 |
---|---|---|
fsmithred | no, I never tried to start libreoffice | 19:01 |
fsmithred | will try now | 19:01 |
fsmithred | LeePen, libreoffice starts fine in the system I installed from the desktop-live iso. It fails when I start it in a live session. | 19:14 |
fsmithred | adding --norestore didn't help | 19:14 |
fsmithred | and there is no ~/.config/libreoffice when I start | 19:14 |
LeePen | Can you work out why? What is different on the live session? | 19:16 |
fsmithred | I'm trying a reinstall of libreoffice in the live session | 19:18 |
fsmithred | I have no ideas why it fails | 19:18 |
fsmithred | but I did notice something odd - which reinstalling, the desktop background flashed to grey and back to cinnabar a few times. | 19:19 |
fsmithred | reinstall did not help; purging apparmor did not help | 19:21 |
LeePen | Looks as if the OP is right that it is devuan-live specific. | 19:22 |
LeePen | Can you debug it if I reassign? | 19:22 |
fsmithred | I don't know what to do with it. | 19:35 |
fsmithred | I tried strace, but I don't see anything obvious (and I don't really know what I'm reading) | 19:36 |
fsmithred | It did report that some files could not be found. One of them was apt-file find /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/tls/x86_64/x86_64/libXinerama.so.1 | 19:39 |
fsmithred | not a typo - x86_64 is in the path twice | 19:39 |
LeePen | Hmmm. OK. I will have a search tomorrow. | 19:40 |
fsmithred | FWIW, libreoffice gets installed the same way in the live as it does in a regular install - comes in with task-*-desktop | 19:44 |
fsmithred | (or task-desktop, not sure which) | 19:44 |
fsmithred | task-*-desktop | 19:45 |
LeePen | It sounds as if something is missing in the live session. | 19:52 |
LeePen | I have never booted it. Presumably /dev/shm and other tmpfs are mounted? | 19:53 |
fsmithred | yes to the mounts | 20:07 |
fsmithred | upgrading to 6.4 from beowulf-backports doesn't help | 20:08 |
fsmithred | I'll install again. The VM I already have has been messed with - added packages and bpo kernel | 20:08 |
fsmithred | libreoffice starts ok in the default live install. | 20:30 |
LeePen | live session? | 20:34 |
fsmithred | boot live iso in qemu | 20:35 |
LeePen | What do we need to ask the OP to find what he has changed? | 20:35 |
fsmithred | did he install the system? | 20:36 |
fsmithred | he's running live off a usb stick | 20:36 |
LeePen | Yup | 20:36 |
fsmithred | oh! I have a workaround | 20:36 |
fsmithred | maybe | 20:37 |
fsmithred | set up persistence and reinstall libreoffice | 20:37 |
fsmithred | but that's a wild guess | 20:37 |
fsmithred | gonna try something else | 20:37 |
LeePen | OK. | 20:38 |
LeePen | afk for food. | 20:39 |
