Hello Group, I'm sure this problem has been solved...
I'm running Debian testing (sarge). OOo has worked fine in the past. Recently when trying to start OOo I get something like ``OpenOffice.org lockfile found'' and the program won't start. I remove ~/.sversionrc and ~/.openoffice, run again, it stalls. I ``apt-get remove openoffice.org; apt-get clean; apt-get update; apt-get install openoffice.org''. I now have a fresh OOo install. Try to run it, the terminal says something about ``setting up OOo, starting OOo'' but it hangs. Try to run oowriter, oocalc, etc., all hang. I run the setup program in ~/.openoffice (./setup), takes me to a fancy repair/remove OOo screen, I ask to repair, hangs. I remember something like this happening to me in the past, maybe 1 year ago. I didn't worry too much about it. Then, one day, magically, I run OOo and it starts. I'm not having such luck this time around. Like I said, I use Debian testing, have been for years, and run apt-get update; apt-get upgrade each day. One final note. I used an obscure OOo-only mirror in the past since Debian didn't have OOo in its repository. Since OOo is now in testing, I've removed the old mirror from my sources.list; I only have: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main Please advise!
