After migrating to another box, I found OO would open for all users but
only root could print (see previous post). After trying various
remedies unsuccessfully (deleting ~/.openoffice, rerunning setup, trying
with a brand new user etc.) I uninstalled the OO rpms and reinstalled
it. My reward for trying this Windows-like approach is that now,
whether as root or a normal user, OO starts to open, gets as far as the
splash screen, then crashes. Running setup produces a slew of error
messages saying it can't copy various files in /usr/lib/openoffice/user
to ~/.openoffice . (this is using the RPMs that come with 9.0, BTW -
funny thing is that they worked fine on the original box).
Has anyone had a similar experience? Searching the OO archives didn't
produce anything useful.
