Description issues@www 2000-11-11 20:36:39 UTC
The "registration of components" never finishes. The blue strip still runs.
I.e. there is no complete hang.
A truss on the running process shows the follwing which continues repeating:

If I simply start openoffice, I am hanging on a door operation...
Comment 1 Olaf Felka 2000-11-13 14:33:18 UTC
Hi Eric,
sorry to say but I can't reproduce your problem. Setup runs without problems and 
office starts.
A little bit more information could be helpful to see if this problem depends on 
special configuration:
What hardware do you use?
What's your OS? 
Comment 2 issues@www 2000-11-13 14:56:57 UTC
Solaris 8 (fresh install from the jumpstart server), Ultra 5, 128MB mem, plenty
of HD, DNS and YP, installation is on local disks (i.e. no NFS).

Install running as non-root user.

I would have thought pretty standard really.

What other info do you want?
What do you make out of the info from the truss?
Comment 3 Olaf Felka 2000-11-15 14:28:23 UTC
Hi Olli,
can you see anything in the truss what might cause this problem?
I've tryed on a similar machine: no problems1

Comment 5 lohmaier 2002-03-13 23:55:55 UTC
All recently released builds install properly. So this one has been
fixed. May it rest in peace.
