It seemed to be working on both machines, but after running an update
on both machines on 2 February, OO will not start on either machine,
neither by user nor by root. A fatal error dialog box pops up after OO
loads about 25% stating: “The application cannot be started”.
This occurs whether starting OO or an OO component (oowriter, etc…).
There are no errors or any information shown in a terminal window
either, OO justs initiates and then closes with the fatal error.
Deleting user profiles does nothing. Removing, deleting the OpenOffice
program directory, and reinstalling OO does nothing. There are no
indications of failed dependencies during installation.
I’ve been haveing the same problems just noticed it last night i’ve even
downgraded OO still didn’t work deleted and reinstalled it still no joy
sorry im no help but will be watching the thread myself for anybodys
suggestions
remuve all OpenOffice-files and after then install 3.0.1.2-2-2 from:
‘Index of /repositories/OpenOffice.org:/UNSTABLE/openSUSE_Factory’
(http://tinyurl.com/5mbdwr)
it works my 11.1, KDE 4.2
and older 3.0.0.9 works too if you will istall it
Deleting all the 3.0.0.9 packages & reinstalling from the OO repo
worked.
This seems to be a mismanagement of repositories issue rather than
simply package dependency issues. OpenSuSE should not have placed such
different and unique OpenOffice packages in the main repositories.
