[users] Open Office won't open.

[Charles Garten]

At times, when double clicking on the desktop shortcut, or even directly on the 
application in the program files, open office fails to open.  There is no 
message given.  When I restart the computer, it will usually open then but may 
fail to open later on in the same session.  Do you have an idea as to what may 
be causing this and if it can be fixed? Thanks.

Hi,

 

I’ve installed Open Office on a eMac using
X10.4 and I just can’t get it to open. The Open Office logo does appear
in the Applications folder but when I click on it, nothing happens. The top of
the screen does display Open Office but I cant get anything to open besides a
small annoying window I cancel. Help!!! I don’t want to have to buy the
Microsoft suite $$$

 

Thanks

[Maria DeGracia]

I installed X11 from the tiger install disc.  I have the new macrpo/ 
intel laptop.  I have MacOs 10.4.8.  I downloaded the open office dmg  
for intel from openoffice.org. I dragged the folder to my  
applications forlder.  It appears installed.  When I try to open it,  
X11 opens, then open office starts to open, but quits half way. I  
trashed the dmg, and downloaded it again.  I reinstalled the dmg, and  
the program.  What do I need to do different?

[samantha stille]

hi there - hope someone can help.

after much trial and error, have managed to download Openoffice, but  
when i go to open it, all that happens is that it comes up on the bar  
at the top of the page, but that is it. No documents, or programmes,  
or anything. Even when I double click on the icon, nothing happens. i  
have checked that it has actually been downloaded, and it says it is  
there, but why is it not opening!? Getting very discouraged.


I am using a Mac OS X 10.3.

please help.

thank you

Hello,

I have installed edubuntu 7.04 on my Dell Dimension pc. Everything works 
great except that none of the open office applications will open. When I 
go to applications - office. I see the database, word processor, 
spreadsheet and presentation icons. But when i click on them nothing 
happens. I have looked for help, but as yet haven't found anything that 
will work. Thanks!

If you are using a windows machine then probably the soffice.bin has not 
closed probably from the last session.  Use the taskmaster to see if 
this process is still active, and if it is then kill it.  OpenOffice.org 
should open normally the next time you try to launch it.

PS -- "taskmaster" = Task Manager (via Ctrl-Alt-Del), Processes tab. 
Find and end any soffice.bin process, which is easiest to do from a list 
sorted in alpha order. There may be soffice.exe and other OOo processes, 
but they should all close when the soffice.bin is gone.

Tip:

A better way to tell people how to open the Task Manager on any version
of windows (Windows 98 through 7) is:

CTRL-SHIFT-ESC

Re: [users] Open Office won't open

[Fran Mennick]

I just installed OOo on an eMac running 10.4.7. When I tried to open  
it, I got a message about a problem with X11. Do you know if you have  
X11 installed? It's not part of the basic installation package. If  
you have it installed, it should  be in Applications -> Utilities.


If  not, insert your system install disk, scroll down to "optional  
installs", click to open, click to continue, agree, continue, until  
you come to a list of things to install. Click on the triangle next  
to "Applications," check on "X11" and install. Of course make sure  
not to have any applications running and install from an  
administrator account.


This solved the problem for me.

I tried all that and it still didn't work. So I re-installed OS X.4 with X11
and then trine to reinstall Open Office. Same problem again.
When I choose force quit it shows Open Office as a droplet. Is that normal?
How can I get this thing to work once and for all?

As for the X11 window that opens up everytime, I tried to type the command
they mention in the setup guide to no avail...

Just one more thought... you didn't accidentally download the version  
for Intel-based Macs by mistake? See http://porting.openoffice.org/ 
mac/ooo-osx_downloads.html  As far as I know all the eMacs are PPC- 
based, I'm pretty sure they were all made before Apple started using  
Intel chips.

No, I did download the right version. When I do click on the application,
the "open" action (the image seems to blow up and disappear) does happen,
and then nothing... I even installed an Open Office Excel sheet I had from a
previous computer and clicked on it to open it. The same thing as when I try
to start the application happens, and then nothing...
When I installed it for the first time, it did ask me if I wanted to use the
fonts and I clicked yes.

Re: [users] Open Office won't open

[Sanford Ackerman]

I had the same problem, and Christopher Frank responded with the  
following fix - which worked for me:


The suggested workaround:
Open the terminal application and type:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF.bad

enter your password

sudo mv /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/Vera*.ttf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ 
fonts/TTF.bad



the code will create a new folder "TTF.bad" and will copy all "Vera"  
fonts to this folder. This must be done with administrator "root"  
rights  (sudo)


Good Luck

Hi,

Can you give a little bit more information.
What operating system do you use? Windows, Mac, Linux? What version  
do you use?

What steps have you tried thus far to get OpenOffice to load.

You might start by telling us how you obtained OpenOffice and what
operating system you're running.  However, generally you download the
install file and then run it.  That installs OpenOffice on your computer
and adds it to the menu.

the top of the page, but that is it. No documents, or programmes, or 
anything. Even when I double click on the icon, nothing happens. i have 
checked that it has actually been downloaded, and it says it is there, 
but why is it not opening!? Getting very discouraged.


I am using a Mac OS X 10.3.

please help.

thank you


After downloading, did you install it?

Hello Sam,

Just to be sure on the versions side:
• did you install X11 for Panther (Mac OS X 10.3.x; 10.3.9 in your case),
available at the Apple website?
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/x11formacosx.html
version is 1.0 (see X11 > About X11)
• did you install OpenOffice.org 2.1.0, the most recent running on Panther
(OOo 2.4 doesn't run on Panther, only on newer Mac OS X's, Tiger and
Leopard, 10.4 and 10.5)
http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/download/x11-103.html

Only the combination of these versions will run on your Mac PowerPC with
Panther.

If you have these installed, something else must be wrong... come back to
this list if this is the case.

Are you using a Windows system? If so, there are sometimes leftover 
instances of the soffice.bin process that confuse OOo into thinking it 
already is running when it isn't. To clear this up without having to 
restart your computer, you can use the Task Manager, on the Processes 
tab, to end any soffice.bin you see there (which will also end any 
associated soffice.exe processes). OOo should then start normally again. 
Ordinarily, closing all OOo windows takes care of this, but sometimes 
(for instance, if OOo ended abnormally) this doesn't happen. It is 
curious, though, that this seems to happen every time for you. Are you 
by any chance also using Lotus programs?


(BTW, please respond only to users@openoffice.org so others can help as 
needed.)

Re: [users] Open Office won't open/need expert advice

[Fran Mennick]

I understand why you must feel frustrated at this point! I'm not an  
expert, just a Mac user who did manage to install OOo and get it up  
and running last week.


It sounds like you've got X11 correct. I just click on the yellow  
light in the upper left-hand corner of the X11 window and let it drop  
to the Dock, it doesn't bother me then. I figure it's best to leave  
it open in case it ever gives me some kind of error message.


I have not tried to force-quit OOo or its Install, so I can't help  
you there.


I'm running 10.4.7 on an eMac (obviously PPC, not Intel). I  
downloaded and installed all the software updates after installing  
from the DVD. Then when I tried to install OOo, I got a message that  
I didn't have X11 installed. When I tried to download X11 from the  
Apple site, it said I couldn't do that because I already had a newer  
version of X11 installed. I couldn't find it anywhere, but Spotlight  
could. I dragged it from the Spotlight window to the trash, secure  
emptied the trash, then re-installed X11 from my DVD, after which it  
appeared in my Utilities folder. Then OOo worked fine. When you re- 
installed the OS, did you get the software updates? I don't know if  
that would help or make things worse (since I had to trash X11 then  
and re-install it from my DVD), I'm just sharing what worked for me.


When I downloaded OOo, two icons appeared on my desktop. I forget if  
I installed OOo from the Disk Image or from the other one, or if it  
just opened when I clicked on its icon, (I really should write these  
things down when I do them, as a "just in case" for later).


I have to run right now, but here are some links that might help:

the mini How-To can be downloaded from:
http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/ooo-osx_downloads.html

the small How-To can be downloaded from:
http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/support.html

There is a giant-sized manual somewhere that someone on the list  
pointed me to, that covered all the different operating systems, and  
I found the answer to my problems in an appendix that applied to Mac  
OS problems. I downloaded it as a PDF file and can't find the link to  
right now - I can send you the PDF file off-list later today or  
tomorrow morning if you want it and no one else points you to it in  
the meantime.

"List of OpenOffice.org Mac OS X issues and problems" is at:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/ 
List_of_OpenOffice.org_Mac_OS_X_issues_and_problems

but I don't think installation problems are covered there.

Hopefully someone more expert will help at this point...  if you can,  
be patient, don't fork out the hundreds of US$$$ for that other  
office suite yet. OOo really does work on a Mac, the open-source  
community really is great, but sometimes you have to put in a bit of  
time instead of $$$.

I tried all that and it still didn't work. So I re-installed OS X.4

and then trine to reinstall Open Office. Same problem again.
When I choose force quit it shows Open Office as a droplet. Is that  
normal?

How can I get this thing to work once and for all?

As for the X11 window that opens up everytime, I tried to type the  
command

they mention in the setup guide to no avail...

HELP!!!

I just installed OOo on an eMac running 10.4.7. When I tried to open
it, I got a message about a problem with X11. Do you know if you have
X11 installed? It's not part of the basic installation package. If
you have it installed, it should  be in Applications -> Utilities.

If  not, insert your system install disk, scroll down to "optional
installs", click to open, click to continue, agree, continue, until
you come to a list of things to install. Click on the triangle next
to "Applications," check on "X11" and install. Of course make sure
not to have any applications running and install from an
administrator account.

This solved the problem for me.

Hi,



I’ve installed Open Office on a eMac using X10.4 and I just can’t
get it to open. The Open Office logo does appear in the
Applications folder but when I click on it, nothing happens. The
top of the screen does display Open Office but I cant get anything
to open besides a small annoying window I cancel. Help!!! I don’t
want to have to buy the Microsoft suite $$$



Thanks

[users] Open Office won't open, won't quite, won't drag to trash

[Barb and Ron]

re: Open Office won't open, won't quite, won't drag to trash


Hello,

Last year I installed open office 2.4 mac.   It didn't work, and now  
don't need it.


So I've dragged the X11 Icon to the trash.   But I cannot drag the  
remaining OO 2.4 "Icon" from the "Dock" to the trash.


Nor could I get OO to open or quit or do anything but have a small  
black and white round icon show up and occasionally do a quarter turn.


So no matter what I do, I can't get rid of the OO icon in the dock.   
Also, I can't even find the openoffice application in the applications  
folder.  Perhaps did it install to the wrong folder.  How can I find  
and fully delete open office 2.4


Many thanks,

Barb

Hi Barb

Sorry for the late reply.

But I cannot drag the remaining OO 2.4 "Icon" from the "Dock" to the trash.


To remove an icon from the dock, you don't drag it to the trash, you just
drag it off the dock. The it will vanish in a puff of smoke!

[users] Open Office Won't Open 0n my Mac Pro OS X 10.4.10 with X11 or Otherwise

[admin]

Dear Users at Open Office Org.

I have attempted several times to download your OOo .2.2.1 MacOSXIntel
install en-US.dmg on my Mac Pro OS X 10.4.10 with and without X11 through
Firefox, Version 2.0.0.2. The download goes smoothly but when  I click  to
open a pop up window reads:

   "Warning"

"The following disk images failed to mount"

Image   Reason
OOo.2.2.1.MacOSXint not recognized

I am familiar with your product, having downloaded it to my PC last
December .  It works just swell and thanks for that.  Because it works so
well I wanted to put in on my Mac as I am converting (or trying to) from
MS.  I write for a living and wanted Open Office, as, at least on my PC,
it works a lot better (i.e., faster, more efficiently and more
conveniently) than the Apple iWorks word processor program Pages.

I have tried several times to download to Mac, dropping the Icon, when one
appears into Applications.  No luck.  I downloaded X11, redownloaded Open
Office, again to no avail.  I have read your FAQ and perhaps missed
something but did not find a resolution.  I went to the Apple page you
referenced but there was no advantage in that either.

I have, and so contacted, Apple Care, and  was told by the technician,
after some hunting, that he was not able to assist me (although he claimed
to personally use Open  Office) because he wasn't familiar with the
problem and Apple does not have support files for Open  Office (however,
they do for other ".dmg" files such as Firefox).

The Apple technician suggested that I contact you.  I had hesitated to do
so as I didn't want to bother folks who are already doing so much BUT, I
do want to use Open Office on the Mac, as I'm hoping it will make it
possible to work effectively.

Can you advise me?  Please, keep  it  simple.  I use a computer to make a
living but that doesn't mean I understand them or their ever changing
jargon.

Thank you again for Open Office

Sincerely,

John
