Comment 2 for bug 42711

I got exactly the same problem, and I didn't have the luck to bring it back to life.

here is my original discription of the bug on the ubuntu forum: ( I am thinking java? )

After I installed Ubuntu Dapper beta2 the OOo seems worked.

But after a while( upgrade several times, changed java to sun's ), it stops to work.

After I clicked the icon, the splash screen shows, but the progress bar in the splash screen did show up.

There is 3 process in the system moniter, soffice soffice.bin ooqstart.

I tried to change the java back to gij, and reinstall the OOo, doesnt work.....

And if I run soffice/soffice.bin from the terminal, it show's no feedbacks, and the programm still won't start up, the progress bar sometimes shows up, up freeze there.
