Per my comment at the time, I ran $ mv ~/.openoffice.org* /tmp
to confirm: $ ls -ld ~/.openoffice* drwxr-xr-x 3 mary mary 4096 2009-04-24 11:29 /home/mary/.openoffice.org That's the ~/.openoffice.org/ directory that got newly created after the original 'mv'. There is no ~/.openoffice.org2/ directory (and since I haven't rebooted: there wasn't one moved to /tmp either). status new ** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- OpenOffice programs exit at launch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365763 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
