If it is a new install, or an upgrade from 9.04: $ sudo apt-get install openoffice.org If it is not, then you might try: $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall openoffice.org and of course the recommended java(s). As others have mentioned, Base does not get installed by default which is pretty silly, but Ubuntu state that it is due to CD space limitations on the installer CD.
