I'm using 8.04 amd64 with backports enabled. openoffice from another user's account --> worked for me! /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin --> worked for me! /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin -writer --> didn't work for me! /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin --anything --> opens the writer directly (don't ask me why :-) ) /usr/lib/openoffice/program/oosplash.bin --> didn't work. same output. So...
And, if I edit the /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice script uncommenting the following lines... # test for availability of the fast external splash # if [ "$sd_binary" = "soffice.bin" -a -x "$sd_prog/oosplash.bin" ] ; then # sd_binary="oosplash.bin" # fi ... and type "openoffice" at the terminal, openoffice opens! But, "openoffice -writer" --> bugs. -- hardy, locking assertion failure, xorg/libsdl https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185311 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
