[Nizar Kerkeni (nizarus)]

this message still persistent after updating to 2.4.1~rc2

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

Try removing ~/.openoffice.org2 and see if that helps. I am running 2.4.1~rc2-1ubuntu1 just fine here on another amd64 machine. If it doesn't make certain your system is fully up to date with hardy-proposed then try again.

Thanks,

Chris Cheney

[Nizar Kerkeni (nizarus)]

Hi Chris, I downgraded openoffice to the 2.4.0 version, because I need oowriter these days. I will retray the installation days later.

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

Marking Fix Released since I believe this bug has been corrected, if you can reproduce it again later feel free to reopen this bug.

Thanks,

Chris Cheney

[Nizar Kerkeni (nizarus)]

I confirm that removing ~/.openoffice.org2 folder solve the problem. But, Chris, do you think that this problem is fixed ?? It should be marked as a bug if some users should remove manually the ~/.openoffice.org2 folder !!! no ??

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

Yes there is definitely a bug somewhere but what it is seems to be somewhat hard to track down since it appears to be due to a configuration option in the users dotdir causing the problem. If it stops working for you again then please let me know and I can get you to send me a copy of your .openoffice.org2 dir to examine more closely.

Thanks,

Chris

[Nizar Kerkeni (nizarus)]

This is reproduced again.

I removed the old .openoffice.org2/ directory but ooffice don't start. In attach the new .openoffice.org2 directory.

[Nizar Kerkeni (nizarus)]

Still having the same thing with the 2.4.1-1ubuntu1 version.
This bug don't affect any body else ?

[Marlon Cisternas Milla (mcisternas-deactivatedaccount)]

Hi all.

I using a Compaq Presario C708LA with Hardy i386 and I reproduced your problem and this is the result:

m0rdk@marlon-laptop:~$ oowriter test.odt
javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment!
m0rdk@marlon-laptop:~$

In this moment, openoffice open the document (test.odt) and there are no problems. So, the bug maintains in 64bits.

Bye.

[Nizar Kerkeni (nizarus)]

Not a configuration option in the users dotdir problem.

[ReiSei (seibuchler)]

HI!

OpenOffice don't work for me after upgrade for 2.4.1 on hardy
This only worked when I removed the package openoffice-gtk from synaptic.
But the visual is now bad :((((

[Nizar Kerkeni (nizarus)]

I confirm the workaround of ReiSei.
Remove openoffice-gtk package.

[paul123 (darkscript-ntlworld)]

Fresh install of Hardy, same problems as above, machine 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Jun 4 15:10:52 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux. Updated sytem, Envy installed Nvidia 169.12 driver. Tried open office, starts then vanishes. Removed openoffice-gtk and I now have a word processor.

[meuns (sylvainmeunier26)]

I confirm this problem and the workaround.
Remove the openoffice-gtk package and close your eyes. :p

[F. Kooman (fkooman)]

It has something to do with locale settings. With locale set to en_US.UTF-8 it works, with locale setting to nl_NL.UTF-8 (I also tried pl_PL, but also doesn't work)
