I'd recommend *renaming* ~/.openoffice.org to something like
~/x-.openoffice.org-x instead. That way, if the profile is the issue you
can then troubleshoot the profile. And if the profile is not the issue,
you can easily remove the newly created profile and put the old one back.
Also note that the Ubuntu OOo install uses ~/.openoffice.org and the
Standard OOo does as well. Therefore, what happens is that if you
install the Standard OOo without first uninstalling the Ubuntu OOo,
Standard OOo will overwrite the previous (U)OOo settings. You then try
to run the (U)OOo, it tries to use the (S)OOo settings & barfs.
If you are going to run both together (my recommendation as (U)OOo has
sound & video that works out of the box w/gstreamer), then here is what
I do:
I resolved this my pointing (S)OOo to ~/.openoffice.org3/3 instead of
~/.openoffice.org/3.
After installing (S)OOo, but _before_ running (S)OOo edit make
/opt/openoffice.org3/programs/bootstraprc read/write & then edit to:
[Bootstrap]
BaseInstallation=${OOO_BASE_DIR}
InstallMode=<installmode>
ProductKey=OpenOffice.org 3.1
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.openoffice.org3/3
[ErrorReport]
ErrorReportPort=80
ErrorReportServer=report.services.openoffice.org
You've modifed:
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.openoffice.org/3
to
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.openoffice.org3/3
or
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.openoffice.orgS/3
_Now_ start (S)OOo and the profile will be created in
~/.openoffice.org3/3 rather than ~/.openoffice.org/3.
Create a new menu item for (S)OOo and have it point to
/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice
and you should be good to go.
For legolas: I think you'll be better off reinstalling (U)OOo:
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall openoffice.org
Test to see that it is working correctly. _Then_ modify
/opt/openoffice.org3/programs/bootstraprc and restart (S)OOo.
