OK. Unfortunately you appear to be running a version from a PPA (Personal Package Archive): https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa/+build/1926554 So you'd need to check: https://bugs.launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs to see if any bugs have been filed regarding that problem. If not, then you can file one from that same page. Unfortunately I just donated my last test machine that had 10.04 on it (I only have 10.10, 11.04 & 11.10b on the others). However I've a spare drive in another that I may be able to load up with 10.04 and try the PPA later this weekend... I need a 10.04 for testing anyway. Before you file a bug on launchpad, can you please detail exactly what you've tried so far? Also verify that your backup path is default: /home/<user>/.openoffice.org/3/user/backup or let us know if you've changed the path. Note: I usually just go ahead and create a folder in my ~/Documents folder: ~/Documents/OOoBackup so that I can easily find/clean them. Then change the default to the ~/Documents/OOoBackup. It's easier than me going though the hundreds of hidden/hidden-subfolders I have. Plus I have multiple versions of OOo (and LO) on my system with version named folders - example: /home/<user>/.openoffice.org/3/user/ /home/<user>/.openoffice.org3/3/user/ /home/<user>/.openoffice.org34/3/user/ -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] For additional commands send email to [email protected] with Subject: help
