Hi, to run OOo in server mode (without an actual X server running on your screen), you have to take a few more steps since OOo needs an X server even when in headless/invisible mode, at least this used to be the case up to the 1.9.x versions. Don't know about 2.0. So what you need to do (this worked for me, at least), is to run a virtual X via xvfb and make sure this gets started before the OOo server process. OOo then, of course, needs to be set to use the xvfb "virtual display". You can then start xvfb and OOo through whatever mechanism you distro supports, most likely scripts in /etc/init.d. Make sure xvfb is up before OOo. Hth, Sven
