After installing openoffice.org-gnome (and openoffice.org-gtk), oowriter started fine. When I removed the two packages, oowriter reverted back to the previous behavior - consuming 100% in the splash screen, with this output in the console:
(process:29408): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.13.7/gobject/gtype.c:2242: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function (process:29408): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed (process:29408): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_screen_get_font_options: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed (I didn't get this output on the console when openoffice.org-gnome was installed). Installing openoffice.org had no effect - same glib/gdk errors and 100% CPU on splash screen. -- [gutsy] Open Office applications don't start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127944 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gtk+2.0 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
