Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
Using feisty, from a fresh install with all (universe and multiverse
too) update applied, when launching any openoffice application, it only
shows the splash screen for an instant and crashes with segmentation
fault and WARNING **: Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early
exit
I have a nvidia card, and was using nvidia-glx driver as proposed by
feisty, I read this crash could be caused by openGL set to yes in
/etc/openoffice/soffice.sh, so I tried to set it to auto and no, which
changed nothing.
I also removed the proprietary driver but it didn't fix anything either.
5 minutes a new update for OOo popped up in update-manager. after
applying it, the crashs still occur.
I tried once more all I did before with these new versions, and it still
segfault at launch.
** Affects: openoffice.org (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
