I also face the same problem. Tried both the reinstall and the make directory and still face the same problem.
One thing I did and may have to do something with the bug, is that I installed Ubuntu, added ALL updates (186) and then I tried to run OpenOffice for the first time. Is there anything changed, in a patch, that does not permit it to start first time? I noticed that it did not create a .openoffice.org2 folder, so the crash must be prior to making the settings folder. Tried also to uninstall scim - nothing changed. When running ooqstart under strace, I noticed that it searched for a file /etc/lib/charset.alias which did not exist. Does it need this file? Is there any command, in OpenOffice, I can FORCE it just to re-create settings folder? -- openoffice: Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early exit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/184266 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
