Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 56914
General error: Input/output errors
Last modified: 2008-05-17 23:06:36 UTC
New basic scripts do not replace old scripts resulting in input/output errors. I had OOo2RC1 when I experienced this problem when opening or saving spreadsheets or opening the macro editor. I got a lot of error messages relating to 1.1.4/ 1.1.5 Basic scripts. I eventually overcame the problem using Tools /Macros /Organize Macros /OpenOffice.org Basic Macros /Organizer /Libraries /Location: OpenOffice.org Macros & Dialogs to delete the old scripts. I found at the same time that the new scripts were not entered in the Organizer so I had to append them manually. Judging by postings on the Users and Discuss mailing lists, a lot of others have experienced the same problem.
Wrong component. Reassigning
I think I should clarify how this problem arose. I installed OOo2RC1 while I still had 1.1.5 (Mandrake Linux). After finding that OO2RC1 was better than the earlier version, I uninstalled 1.1.5 and re-ran the OOo2 rpms (I could not find any "repair" mechanism referred to in the README file so decided that re-running the rpms would have to do). It was then I started getting the error messages. Perhaps the problem really relates to the lack of a repair mechanism.
I have observed the problem with "General error: Input/output errors" message also happens when I try to save files over mounted filesystems. OpenOffice.org saves the file for the first time I modify it, but the second time I try to save the file it shows me the message. The problem happens with those mount types: a) shfs, and; b) cifs (in fact there is more problems with CIFS than related here), and; The problem does not happen when using SMBFS (I have no idea why!) I'm using: a) openoffice.org-*-2.0.0-3 RPM b) shfsmount version 0.35(2) c) Linux kernel 2.6.5-63077cl Any other information?
In response to the previous post, I'm using: a) openoffice.org-*-2.0.0-3 RPM b) shfsmount - not found c) Linux kernel 2.6.11-6mdk There is a string of posts recounting similar difficulties on the Users' list on 1 Dec 05. Several mentions have been made of a section in the draft Users Manual dealing with the subject but I can find no reference either in the Table of Contents or in chapter 13 "Troubleshooting ...".
Hi terrynorth, thank you for supporting OOo. I can confirm the issue, in fact it is an old one - for some reason we cannot cope with macros from older installations, migration fails. The recommended procedure is not to migrate any personal data or even better to deinstall the 1.x office in advance. Setting target, change owner
Created a meta-bug for this. We have countless incarnations of that problem mostly resulting in an "Error loading Basic of Document" error *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 59890 ***
The problem described here *is not* related with macros but related with mounted file systems. This is not a duplicated issue of 59890!!!
