Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
When starting an open office program (I tried oowriter, oocalc, ooimpres
and ooffice), the program never starts successfully - instead it gets
stuck at the splash screen stage.
The splash screen appears and the blue progress bar reaches 100% and
then OpenOffice.org just stays that way and never completes the load,
while consuming 100% CPU - in the gnome-system-monitor I can see that
soffice.bin is taking up all the CPU. At this point the computer is very
sluggish and even the cursor moving slowly.
I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 alpha 1 updated using apt-get dist-upgrade daily.
I've installed it instead of Fedora Core 7 - I formatted all the
partitions except /home, and I've tested the same behavior with old
users from the previous installation as well as with users created after
the Ubuntu install.
I'm using the nvidia driver from the restricted driver manager with
desktop effects enabled (if it makes any difference).
Currently, OpenOffice.org is unusable and its a serious problem for me.
