Public bug reported: Binary package hint: openoffice.org
When I launch OpenOffice programs on one of my desktop machines, they consistently exit after displaying the splash screen and advancing the progress bar about 1/3 of the way to completion. No error dialogs or messages of any kind appear. If I run the programs on the command line, I get this error: $ oowriter ** (soffice:30449): WARNING **: unable to get gail version number $ oocalc ** (soffice:30468): WARNING **: unable to get gail version number $ oodraw ** (soffice:30490): WARNING **: unable to get gail version number I've run it with the debugging symbols (as best I can, since OO programs are launched with shell scripts, so it's a little hard to work out precisely how to invoke them directly), but the exit is not a crash in the normal sense of the word: $ gdb /usr/lib/openoffice/program/oosplash.bin GNU gdb 6.8-debian Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
