updated the openoffice to 3.0.1 and now I cant run the application, its saying the application can not be started.
I’m in the same boat. So for now I reverted back to 3.0.0 until I find a fix.

As a matter of interest, is that with Gnome, KDE3 or KDE4?
No problems with KDE 3.5.9 here.

I hawe same problem with OpenSuse 11.1, Kde 3.5 and Kde 4.2
software (OpenOffice 3.0.1) can’t start
and downgradeing start not too
kde 3.5.10 opensuse 11.1
Same problem here. No messages, no nothing, progs don’t start at all.
BTW it’s not in the beautiful KDE’s, it’s definitely the oopackages. Problem araised with RC1 on x86_64
I am using gnome, have uninstalled openoffice for time being.:\
Being bored on a Friday night I un-installed all Openoffice. Added back the repositories and re-installed 3.0.1. All went well. I searched openoffice in yast to get rid of all the old openoffice 3.0.0. I don’t know why and don’t care because it works. kde 3.5.10 opensuse 11.1. I’m going to check kde 4.2 to see if it works in that next.

I notice that everyone who has mentioned problems is using opensuse
11.1, kde 3.5.10 (or 4.2) and openoffice 3.0.1 - presumably the suse
packaged version. A lot of (relatively) “new” versions there, with lots
of “modified” features

Thats it… I installed the openoffice once again with only 3.0.1 packages, and all went fine on Gnome.
rotfl!
Mean it, that developers and/or packager must wake up!
many us works with KDE now 4.2 or 3.5.x (…before) here in Europe
it also happend with opensuse 11.1 and gnome 2.24.1. and i deinstalled openoffice and installed 3.0.1 new but it don’t work. so i have do deinstall again and install 3.0.0.9 again. only 3.0.0.9 works on my system.
No need to uninstall everything. OO 3.0.1 will work again by removing OpenOffice_org-libs-gui, OpenOffice_org-libs-core and OpenOffice_org-components, which are the wrong packages. From terminal (and root, of course):
rpm -e OpenOffice_org-libs-gui OpenOffice_org-libs-core OpenOffice_org-components

I ran into this this morning. I’m KDE 4.1.3, openSUSE 11.1. I found some
comments on another newsgroup and folled them.
- when the dependecnces came up I said go ahead and make the
changes. - I it then installed 3.0.1.2 OK. When I tried starting the application it
kept telling me it could not start it. I went back into YaSt and deleted all
references to the old version of openoffice. Still would not start. I went
back in an reinstalled the language package (was mentioned in one of the
items I read. Now openoffice starts and both writer and spreadsheet appear
to read and modify my old documents. Here’s list of rpms installed:
rpm -qa |grep OpenOffice
OpenOffice_org-templates-labels-letter-1.0-5.1

Cheers !!! I missed the libs when uninstalling and reinstalling. Removed everything then installed only correct numbered packages.
Should not have to happen this way. Simply means dependencies are not correct.But cheers again. OO.o 3.0.1 now runs very very smoothly.
Thanks for posting this. 
I missed these the first time through. Had to remove OpenOffice, then run the above command. (The libs were still there, apparently.) Then re-install the correct numbered packages. 3.0.1 now runs fine on OS 11.1 KDE 4.1 & Gnome!

hey russ,
thanks a lot for the hint but it dosn’t work for me. but the hint from marcoant works very well. indeed it’s enough to uninstall OpenOffice_org-libs-gui OpenOffice_org-libs-core OpenOffice_org-components.
so, thanks a lot for the help,
torbenh
You are right. The dependencies are wrong.
The following steps worked for me:
- Have the default OOo-3.0 from openSUSE-11.1
- add the extra OpenOffice.org repository in YaST2
- start “Software Management” in YaST2
- select “OpenOffice_org” for update; agree to remove
“OpenOffice_org-l10n-extras” and other packages to remove the conflict - select “OpenOffice_org-ure” to delete (popup menu when you press the right
mouse button); agree to delete few more dependent packages - select “OpenOffice_org-libs-external” to delete
- press the “accept” button; agree with the automatic changes
Result: I got a working OOo 3.0.1 packages.
I am going to improve dependencies of the OOo-3.0.1 packages to avoid these problems. It might take one or two days until the fixed packages appear in the installation source. Also I
am not sure whether the first fix will be enough.

I am sorry for all these troubles.

As I’ve mentioned in another posting - “SUSE implementation of Open Office
is a shambles” - I got OOo running by removing “core libraries”, which is
one of many 3.0.0.9 packages left in. Somewhat counter-intuitive cure?
