i am running opensuse on a akoya-notebook (see below-)
each time i run libreoffice and want to save some writer documents the openOffice-Programme smashes and vanishes…
note: i have the following version up and running:
LibreOffice 3.4.5
OOO340m1 (Build:1505)
see the errors that show up if i start libreoffice with console:
martin@linux-wyee:~> libreoffice --writer
LibreOffice(14544) KSambaSharePrivate::testparmParamValue: We got some errors while running testparm "Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Loaded services file OK.
ERROR: pid directory /var/run/samba does not exist
"
martin@linux-wyee:~>
by the way - this might be of interest: see what i have on the machine.::

great to hear form you. Many thanks for shaing a helping hand. I have runned all your code-snippets and commands in Terminal.
see the following results:
Have a closer look: what is given back by the system - when i run** testparm -s**

afterwards i created the directory - and then i restarted the computer…
but beliefe me - it still is the same behaviour… i t still smashes
martin@linux-wyee:~> libreoffice --writer

afterwards i created one…
martin@linux-wyee:~> mkdir /var/run/samba
mkdir: cannot create direcrory „/var/run/samba“ : no permissions
martin@linux-wyee:~> su
but see - what is this here - i do not know what i should say here…:

To circumvent this problem try the following command (with Linux and bash)
export $(dbus-launch)

To circumvent this problem try the following command (with Linux and bash)

it still smashes - i have no glue… any idea here? I look forward to hear from you

Warning: you did “su” before, you are working as root on your home
directory. This will not work and will break things.

hello Knurpht , hello Robin Listas good day James,
afaik i did nothing of the following.
should ido such things.
@Robin Listas: your re right - i try to avoid workin as a root on the machine… this makes all very dangerous
btw: the errors are still happening… - see what i have in **the terminal **
martin@linux-wyee:~> ~> libreoffice --writer
bash: /home/martin: Ist ein Verzeichnis
martin@linux-wyee:~> libreoffice --writer
X Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) 8

well i am pretty clueless here… what can i do now!?

Did you, per chance, do “su” without dash, then started libreoffice?
Because it the previous post to which I responded I think you did - and
this will result in files owned by root under your home, and will impede
libreoffice from running again.
So check the permissions of all the files under “.libreoffice/”.

What does it mean? In English
You can force a program to run in English by doing:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 libreoffice --writer

Maybe your samba config has a problem, you should solve them. Apparently LO
checks it.

guess that the issue (s) with the Superuser - and that i sometimes do things as su - without thinkin about the status - is pretty dangerous.
guess that i have somewhat misconfigured the machine… - i do some checks accordingly…
this means
> martin@linux-wyee:~> ~> libreoffice --writer
> bash: /home/martin: Ist ein Verzeichnis
> martin@linux-wyee:~> ~> libreoffice --writer
> bash: /home/martin: Is a directory
i come back tomorrow…
btw. james (guess he was it) is still thinkin that something with samba goes wrong… read the comments at the beginning of the thread. At least he WAS thinkin that this was the cause…
i come back tomorrow … must sleep now… it is pretty late]
