Bug Description
OpenOffice crashes on startup every time. First, it popped up a dialog complaining that another instance of OOo was open (I guess a file was locked) and asking what to do, but OOo crashed before I was able to completely read the dialog. This was before any window appeared. If I can find a way to attach the crash report, I'll do so--there doesn't seem to be such an option on the bug report form.
I renamed my .openoffice.org2 directory, but that didn't make any difference. OOo crashes every time. Sometimes immediately, sometimes during the splash screen, and sometimes while it's in the process of drawing the main window. It hasn't left anything in /var/crash after the first time, though.
I'm running a fresh install of Feisty (but with /home preserved from my previous install). I experienced OOo crashes (along with a number of other programs crashing in Edgy, shortly before upgrading. I upgraded to Feisty, hoping that the upgrade would solve my crashes, but it just made matters worse. So I reinstalled. But OOo is still crashing.

Scott,
If various other programs are crashing as well it is probably your hardware that is the problem. You can try running memtest86 to see if you memory is ok. I haven't personally seen any OpenOffice crashes or other programs crashing on 7.04 (Feisty).
