OpenOffice writer broken after upgrade to 11.1

English Applications
#1

Hello,

I have upgraded from Opensuse 11.0 to Opensuse 11.1

Now, when I start OpenOffice writer, I get nothing but the empty window frame. No content appears, also after a long time. The complete space below the window bar is not painted.

However, all other OpenOffice applications run normally.

Is there anyone who has an idea what I could do?

re-install the writer package in yast
But maybe you already tried that?

or

You could try re-naming the hidden .ooo2 and .ooo3 folders to eg: .ooo2_old

You are great!

I had installed the package already twice. it didn’t help.

But renaming the folders did the job. Thanks!

Thanks for fixing the problem I’ve also just found. A straight upgrade on KDE 3.5 system had worked OK but a new installation of KDE 4.1 (on the same machine and user) meant OpenOffice just wouldn’t start. Renaming .ooo3 did the job.

Many thanks.
