Well, I just tried the workaround mentioned here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/128211
Installed with: $ sudo dpkg -i libgtk2.0-0_2.10.11-0ubuntu3_i386.deb dpkg - warning: downgrading libgtk2.0-0 from 2.11.6-1ubuntu1 to 2.10.11-0ubuntu3 .

Unpacking replacement libgtk2.0-0 ... dpkg: warning - unable to delete old directory `/etc/gtk-2.0': Directory not empty Setting up libgtk2.0-0 (2.10.11-0ubuntu3) ... I started ooffice -writer from the terminal and it starts OK, but I got the following errors on the terminal screen: $ ooffice -writer X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168 Major opcode: 148 Minor opcode: 3 Resource id: 0x0 Failed to open device X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168 Major opcode: 148 Minor opcode: 3 Resource id: 0x0 Failed to open device (process:23641): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.13.7/gobject/gtype.c:2242: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function (process:23641): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_screen_get_font_options: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed (process:23641): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.13.7/gobject/gtype.c:2242: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function (process:23641): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_screen_get_font_options: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed $ (process:23641): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.13.7/gobject/gtype.c:2242: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function (process:23641): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_screen_get_font_options: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed Looks the same as before, but Openoffice DID start. I just checked the spreadsheet and it works too. Yet, the error message remains. Hope it gives someone with more insight a little clue. -- [gutsy]Open Office applications don't start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127944 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
