I used to have proposed and backports software sources enabled, then had the problem with Open Office, which is marked as duplicate of this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org-amd64/+bug/236676 For this reason I decided to reinstall and never enable again proposed and backports as software sources for my productive system.
After todays updates, I have to uninstall openoffice.org-gtk to be able to use Open Office with my main user. I wonder why the latest version of Open Office got into the stable updates? I'm using another user profile as a workaround, but haven't found out yet which setting is associated with this problem. Neither of the config files in my home directory seem to be the source of the problem, as I did a complete sync (using rsync and then chown) of all configurations files and directories with another user profile and had no problem in using open office there. Might be it has something to do with a system setting outside the home directory? Currently, I'm using sux to be able to use Open Office without having to uninstall openoffice.org-gtk and without having to switch from my main users desktop: ------------------------------------------------------- $ sudo apt-get install sux $ sudo adduser newuser $ chmod 777 document.odt $ sux newuser openoffice document.odt ------------------------------------------------------- -- hardy, locking assertion failure, xorg/libsdl https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185311 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
