I have started it both ways as a user. As root, I start from the CLI |
15 |
after su to root from my user login. |
16 |
|
17 |
There are no error messages. When starting as a user, the splash |
18 |
graphic just sits there and the CPU usage is basically 100% for both X |
19 |
and oosplash.bin. When starting as root, the splash graphic starts and |
20 |
then a progress bar at the bottom of the splash graphic progresses in |
21 |
about 10 seconds and OpenOffice starts. The progress bar never |
22 |
progresses when starting as a user. I have to kill oosplash.bin with |
23 |
signal 15 after starting as a user to return my system to normal. |

I found that when I su to root, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not defined. As a |
30 |
user, it is defined as: |
31 |
|
32 |
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib32/xorg:/usr/lib64/xorg |
33 |
|
34 |
If I unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH in a user terminal, then OpenOffice starts. |
35 |
So what is LD_LIBRARY_PATH and why am I seeing this behavior? |
