When I try to start openoffice, the splash screen shows and disappears after 2-3 seconds. This situation is always reproducible on my laptop. The output of openoffice is: $ openoffice ** (process:9893): WARNING **: Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early exit ... The problem goes away if scim-bridge is configured. (set GTK_IME_MODULE="scim-bridge" in /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/zh_TW) ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed ** Description changed: Ubuntu version: edgy - openoffice version: - scim version: - language pack: zh_TW + openoffice.org version: 2.0.4-0ubuntu4 (edgy updates) + scim version: 1.4.4-4ubuntu6 (edgy) + language pack: zh_TW (probably irrelevant) When I try to start openoffice, the splash screen shows and disappears after 2-3 seconds.
