I have this weird problem as of this morning. Am running mdk9.1, KDE 3.1. I had OpenOffice1.0.2 installed that came with mdk and it was working fine until yesterday. Today, it won't start.
The symptoms:
- any other user, except the account that I chiefly use, can run it; all users have exactly the same permissions; the difference between them is locale settings but changing the locales does not help for the one account that has problems
- cleaning out the home directory of the user account that has problems does not help so it is probably not something wrong with ~/.openoffice
- there are absolutely no error messages. Judgin from the output of ps, it is soffice.bin that silently hangs.
So, I have one user (who is me) who cannot start oo. I tried the oo1.0.3. rpm with the same results. Meanwhile, the oo1.1 tarball install has no problems.
Any ideas what might be going wrong? I like to be able to use oo1.0x... I spent so much time customizing it...
of course. Besides, cleaning out ~ means just that: erased the whole thing with all its contents. Didn't help at all. I'm really stumped. It does store the customizations of toolbars and such.
yeah. I'm thinking of doing that or just start using oo1.1. assuming that the current rc5 is pretty close to stable. But I would still like to know what on earth is going wrong. You see, the only difference that I can think of between the accounts is the name and uid...
