Bug Description
After last update (done on jun 1st 2008) I get this err message while loading OpenOffice 2.4 in Hardy AMD64:

I'm using ATI graphics restricted driver (maybe it is related to this maybe not)

I have the same problem
- on 64 bit Hardy Heron with

Thanks for posting the workaround, Marcelo!
At least I can continue using Open Office (without Gnome support and an ugly interface).

Bertock85 (bertock85-deactivatedaccount) wrote : | #6 |
The problem is that proposed repository gives a release candidate version of openoffice (exactly rc1) so there are two way to solve the problem:
- get the basic (and not beautiful) user interface until there are any updates
- do the downgrade (the solution that I try)
To do the downgrade the only way is to uninstall all OO packages (whit apt o synaptic) then perform another new installation of "real stable" packages (Package_
Probably to have a fully stable system is better to disable proposed and backports repository.

Openoffice will no open after (todays) updates - 8.04
Hi,
I have one box that was updated today, just the regular and rather seamless process, get notified and click the upgrade button.
system seems fine but openoffice will not open on that profile but I can see the splashscreen, it seems to load but nothing shows up on the screen.
I created a second profile just to test it, and openoffice does run fine.
I've also tried to delete the .openoffice.org2 folder from that profile, logged out and logged back in, openoffice still will wont run. Even reinstalled the openoffice-core package, still no go...
If I do sudo openoffice, it runs on that profile...
What am I missing? I know it will be some little stupid thing that needs a reset at least
Thanks,
Rodrigo

I uploaded openoffice.org 2.4.1 rc2 today. Once it is built and in the archive please test the new version and see if it fixes the problem for you. I am marking this bug as incomplete due to it needing testing with the new rc2 version.

madblueimp (madblueimp) wrote : | #22 |
I just upgrade to rc2 (from the main server), but the problem persists for my main user.
With a new user profile, Open Office works fine without problems.
Deleting ~/.openoffice.org2 doesn't seem to fix the problem, so I guess it is related to some gconf or gnome setting.
Tregubov Evgenii (martyr) wrote : | #23 |
Latest upgrade fixed the problem. Thanks.
TheOV (tyler-harangozo) wrote : | #24 |
I continue to still have the problem with one of my user accounts. I'll try deleting .gconf and see if that helps.

madblueimp (madblueimp) wrote : | #25 |
I just synced any config directory and config file in my main users home directory with another test profile to see if the problem has anything to do with a user defined setting inside the home directory.
The result is still the same: The known "Locking assertion failure" when calling openoffice with my main user and no problem with the test user account.
Is there any user-specific config or cache related to Open Office/GTK which could produce this problem?

Robert Norman Higgins (drhiggins) wrote : | #36 |
Similar problem after last ubuntu update that included upgrades for openoffice.
However, the interesting thing here is that (as noted earlier) the problem only occurred for my main user, and not a test user that I switched to.
So, something about the gnome integration, and some other application or config factor are causing this to happen to only some users on one system.
Removed openoffice.org-gtk and openoffice now works.

When previous session hanged then shows App restore creator and click Cancel. Next close it, and rerun it via soffice in terminal. It run blank page, next select in menu
File->New->Calc
and it works..

Stunts (f-pinamartins) wrote : | #40 |
@ Chris Cheney:
I too have tried what you recommend, but it doesn't really work.
I get the exact same error after reboot.
BTW, I used apt-get purge instead of apt-get remove, in order to get rid of all config files. I have also deleted ~/.openoffice.org2, just to make sure it was 100% clear.
Based on the bug reports that are duplicates of this one, it seems to me that this is only happening on the user account that made the updates. I could be wrong, tho...

The only explanation I can think of that removing openoffice.org-gtk openoffice.
What does the following show you:
find (/home/username) -uid 0
eg: find /home/ccheney -uid 0
Under normal circumstances this should show nothing, if it does show something then it probably needs to have ownership changed back to the user whose home directory it is in. If this shows a file that belongs to gtk/gnome then it may be the reason OpenOffice.org is not properly working.

You were right!
Some files were found:

using:

chown: changing ownership of `.openoffice.
chown: changing ownership of `.openoffice.
chown: changing ownership of `.openoffice.
had to change the permissions with sudo (which somewhat makes sense...)
However, changing owners back to my main user did not let me run openoffice.org again.
I'm still getting the very same error message.
Alexander Brügmann (brueggi-brueggisite) wrote : | #44 |
I had the same permission issue. I changed them back to the proper user and after that there are no error messages anymore. But openoffice doesn't start either... Using "sudo openoffice" it works fine.

I have the same problem since updating the other day. I'm on an AMD64 computer. I do not have openoffice.org-gtk or openoffice.
I tried several workarounds suggested in this and i think another bug. the only thing that worked is the SSH thing in the last post.
that suggests to me that it's an environment issue.

Boudewijn,
This goes to you as well as to others:
Why do you have openoffice.org-gtk and openoffice.
I'm not sure why it would cause a problem to have it installed while running under KDE but it shouldn't be installed by default in any case on Kubuntu. So I don't know why it was installed on Kubuntu systems.
Thanks,
Chris

Me too (26/06/2008).
Removing openoffice.org-gtk worked for me. However, it worked with openoffice.org-gtk installed when I launched it with sudo/gksu. It even worked when I made a new user, although it was not very stable. I'd like to know why this version of OpenOffice.org is in the normal Update repository, since this bug it's known for about a month...

Howdy. I am experiencing the same problem under Kubuntu / Hardy AMD64 and do not have openoffice.org-gtk or openoffice.
Deleting ".openoffice.org2" has no effect on whether the app will start or not. Using "sudo soffice" does not let me launch either and so far this bug seems to affect all methods I have tried for launching (command line, menu, "open with", etc.).
Cheers

Dann hast du die Synaptic Paketverwaltung offen.
Hier musst du unter
Einstellungen-
"Vorab veröffentlichte Aktualisierungen (hardy-proposed)" und "Nicht unterstützte Aktualisierungen (hardy-backports)" setzen.
Dann den Dialog schließen und auf den Button "Neu laden" klicken.
Anschließend auf "Aktualisierungen vormerken"
und dann auf "Anwenden". Der Rest sollte sich dann von selbst ergeben.

Start
System->System settings-

Now your inside the Synaptic Package Manager.
So click on
Settings->Package sources and chose the tab "Updates" and check the boxes
"Proposed Updates (hardy-proposed)" and "Unsupported Updates (hardy-backports)".
Then reload the package informations by clicking on the button "Reload".
And then click on the next button "Preselect Updates" (or whatever).
Finally you need to click on the "Apply"-Button.
After that all available updates (not only for ooo) are installed on your system.
Good luck!

No spamming at all, you had the right answer and posted it just as I like it (simple as I'm a noob at Ubuntu).
THIS...is why people should switch to Linux. So many wonderful, helpful people.

This is happening in Jaunty Alpha 3, AMD64, OpenOffice 3.0. Every time I try to "Save As", oo.org freezes. The window turns grey and can be killed. Try uninstalling, uninstalling with purge, removed the gnome package, deleted the .openoffice.org directory. It always freezes. Are there any logs / other files I can look at or provide?
I'm using ATI graphics restricted driver and I'm using Hardy AMD64 too, same problem after last update.
I try your workaround and it work.
Thank you.
