Same problem here. Openoffice on gutsy x64, fairly recent version-upgrade, stops working. will try hardy.
the problem seems to be that in Kubuntu the oowriter is called like this: ooffice -writer which results in the error Error forking '/usr/lib/openoffice/program//soffice': 'Failed to execute child process "/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice" (Bad address)' while just running oowriter is no problem. -- openoffice: Error forking (crash) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187407 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
