Description p_kongstad 2013-02-11 09:21:14 UTC
Hi,

When using this option in the program Scalc, nothing happens. The E-mail program is with the value evolution. When changing to thunderbird this option works.

This has been tested against Evolution 2.32 and 3.4.4 on two different versions of Linux (Ubuntu 10.04 and SolusOS 2).

Last working version of LO was 3.6.5.

Issue also to be found in:
Version 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: fbfda39d26da6747edb3a4c6d593be7e6b2b0f1)

Hi, Could this bug please be tested and confirmed?
Comment 2 Thomas Arnhold 2013-02-15 14:07:00 UTC
Maybe related: bug#60622.
Comment 3 Thomas van der Meulen [retired] 2013-03-21 20:35:07 UTC
Hello P. kongstad, 
I can't reproduce this bug running LibreOffice 4.0.2.1 on Ubuntu 12.10 or linux mint 14.

can you please check that your email progam is set to Evolution.
tools --> Options --> internet --> E-mail 
is it set to: /usr/bin/evolution 

if not please set it and try again  and tell me if you solved it 
if so, please tell me.

Hi,

The same issue still exist on 
Version 4.0.3.0+ (Build ID: 6690e18c5f45e24d013bcccdc47a2d32a3b2f05)
TinderBox: Linux-x86_64@31-Release-Configuration-RHEL5-Baseline, Branch:libreoffice-4-0, Time: 2013-03-18_22:12:52
and 
Version 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: fbfda39d26da6747edb3a4c6d593be7e6b2b0f1)
TinderBox: Linux-x86_64_11-Release-Configuration, Branch:master, Time: 2012-12-09_22:33:10

On 4.1 I have deleted the profile as well. It's make no change.

Standard it is set to evolution. Changing to /usr/lib/evolution makes no change.
Comment 5 Michael Meeks 2013-03-26 12:44:55 UTC
Worth checking what is going on: can you do:

strace -f -s 256 -p `pidof soffice.bin` -o /tmp/slog

and then poke in 'slog' for the execve line that is invoked - digging at that should show us exactly what is going on; possibly something moved / changed in how we have to invoke Evolution (?).

thanks !

Comment 7 Thomas Arnhold 2013-03-26 20:23:05 UTC
You have '/usr/lib/evolution' in your settings, Thomas said, that it should be '/usr/bin/evolution'. Probably this is the solution?!
Comment 8 p_kongstad 2013-03-27 09:12:32 UTC
Thanks for the correct path, but it does not change anything.

I have removed and downgraded to Version 4.0.2.1 (Build ID: 7e5467ff8f30d821f4fbf69cb2769163eb64c2c)

execve("/bin/sh", ["sh", "-c", "\"/opt/libreoffice4.0/program/../program/senddoc\" --mailclient evolution --subject \"noname.ods\" --attach \"/tmp/lus9sjii.tmp/lus9sjjq.tmp/noname.ods\" "], [/* 38 vars */] <unfinished ...>

The issue is also present in this version.

It's running on top of Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit with Evolution 2.32.2.

Comment 10 p_kongstad 2013-11-06 23:34:56 UTC
This bug is still present in Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha1+
Build ID: ebeff1814cbecfba9bbeaeba8067b58f71703a39
TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@46-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2013-11-06_05:59:04.

However it works in Apache OpenOffice 4.0.1 AOO401m5(build:9714) - Rev 1524958
Comment 11 Stephan Bergmann 2013-11-07 07:52:45 UTC
Can you please provide all the execve lines from the strace output, "grep exec /tmp/slog", or, even better yet, the complete /tmp/slog file?
Comment 12 p_kongstad 2013-11-07 08:16:31 UTC
Hi,

I do not have such a file existing in my system. This is Ubuntu. 

Please advice to where to search for needed information.

Comment 15 Stephan Bergmann 2013-11-07 10:06:11 UTC
The problem is that your /usr/bin/evolution internally uses (the system) Python interpreter, LO's soffice.bin process prepends its own Python installation's directories to the PYTHONPATH environment variable (which is handed down to the evolution process) as soon as Python is instantiated in LO, and the two Python versions are apparently incompatible (Python 2 vs. 3, presumably), so /usr/bin/evolution fails with non-zero exit code:

The fix would be to undo the modifications to PYTHONPATH before spawning new processes (or, better yet, potentially find a solution that does not require modification of the PYTHONPATH environment variable at all).

An immediate workaround should be to not use a generic TDF LO installation set from <http://www.libreoffice.org/download> (which bundles its own Python) but to use one specifically built for the given Linux distro (which likely uses the system Python instead).

As this is due to incompatibility between different version of Python, I close this bug report
