I have an issue like that too :( I reinstalled all the ooo components already, but my problem still exists...
What I tried: - I removed my .openoffice... directory completly - after that 'ooffice' started perfectly for the first time - on the second time I got error messages like 'WARNING **: Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early exit ...' - I can start OpenOffice.org any time with 'soffice' command without trouble - If I launch OpenOffice.org (with soffice) and I switch on the Quickstart option - then I can use all Ooo menu item without error (quickstart don't start automatically after login) - after I exit from quickstarter or I disable it - I can't use Ooo menu items any more, only 'soffice' command works :( I think the oobase, ooffice... scripts execs some quickstart dependent code, but that code don't checks if quickstart is running... I don't know :( -- openoffice doesn't want to fork https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149298 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
