OpenOffice.org 1.0 worked fine on my Mandrake 8.1 installation. But now that I have moved to 8.2 (clean install), OO usually dies while opening. OO is open for perhaps a second and shuts itself down. No message of any kind appears in the terminal window I launch it from, I am simply returned to the prompt. ps ax afterward shows no lingering traces of OO, so at least it shuts down cleanly.
This happens perhaps 75% of the time I try to open any component of OO. The other 25% of the time OO remains open and works normally. The behavior is the same if opened from a menu vs. a terminal window, and regardless of WM used, user, or previously running apps or daemons. Clue #1: When I run the OO repair tool (/opt/OpenOffice.org1.0/program/setup as user and select "repair"), that user does not suffer this problem for a day or so. Clue #2: Before I installed OO on 8.2, I installed StarOffice 6.0 from the rpm on the Power Pack. I never could get StarOffice to work, so I uninstalled the rpm prior to installing OO. Any ideas of what I should be looking at to fix this? I'd rather not rerun setup every day from now on. -- Warren Post Santa Rosa de Copán, Honduras http://www.srcopan.vze.com/
