Any reason you did not upgrade your system to Ubuntu 10.10? Ubuntu uses Go-oo version and 10.10 upgrades it to 3.2.0. Myself I used the instruction in the following link to use OOo's web site Debian version of OOo. Also, I needed to delete the ".openoffice.org" folder in my "personal home folder", i.e. "home/timothy/.openoffice.org" http://www.muktware.com/search/node/Install%20Openoffice.org%20in%20Ubuntu Use the link and you should get a list of How To articles. The one I used is "How To Install OpenOffice 3.2.1 in Ubuntu". You will have to reinstall your extensions for OOo, but that is just an excuse to get the most up-to-date versions. The deleting of the ".openoffice.org" then removing OOo from your system, the way the article states, solved my issues when I had my crash. I still have trouble with some other software, like DeVeDe, not working anymore but that is another issue and unrelated to this list. To be honest, the only way I could solve my problems, was to do a clean install of OOo. It may be easier for you to use the article to remove Go-oo [make sure you delete .openoffice.org before the install] and then use the repositories to reinstall it. I would not though. I would download OOo's Debian version [Oracle] from the web site and install that instead of Go-oo from the repositories that is a part of Ubuntu 9.04, 9.10, 10.10, or whatever version number you are using. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
