Strange Behavior of OpenOffice.org
Support knowledgebase (cihlarov_oo_install)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Version 8.1
Symptom:
OpenOffice.org does not work correctly at all. Strange
messages are displayed and the application often crashes.
The problem is usually discovered when the user tries to
save a document.
Cause:
The user has installed "Local installation" (an entire personal
copy of the OpenOffice.org binaries), but he uses the global
OpenOffice.org wrapper "openoffice".
Solution:
Either use the local wrapper:
$HOME/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/soffice
or remove the current "Local installation" and install the recommended
"Workstation installation":
rm -r $HOME/OpenOffice.org1.0.1
rm $HOME/.sversionrc
openoffice
and in the installation dialog select "Workstation installation".
