Christopher and James.Thank you very much. With the help of you both,
I was able to restart OOo and X11. My last problem was to reinstall
X11 from the installation disc (personalized installation); I rather
reinstalled the whole system, but X11 wasn't checked to be installed.
Afterwards, it looks so easy to me to solve the whole problems I
encountered.
Once again, thanks to dedicated people like you.

I will refer you to the French OpenOffice.org site and will forward
your problem one of the members
of the OpenOffice Mac OS X porting team that may be able to assist
you.
The French language site is http://fr.openoffice.org and there is a
user help list there [email protected]
I am sorry that I could not assist you. However, I still feel that
there is something wrong with your
system and not with OpenOffice.org

Subject: Re: [users] Problems with X11 and OO
James,
Once again, I made another try , followed all your instructions.
-X11 and X11user.pkg are under Utilities. But nothing happens if I
hit the icon;
-I opened a Terminal session; no appearance of X11 (just a listing
of: System/Library)
-I then entered "sudo RM/Library/Receipts/X11user.pkg
-AND I AM STUCK AGAIN on that freeze when I try to enter my password
(does not take ANY letter).
Can you help a bit more about entering my passwork, solving that
freeze problem.
Thanks
-P.S. I have a French version. Does it have any impact of accessing
something?

First, the X symbol for X11 is there on the dock, and when I try to
open, it just bounces, and nothing else. You're right, X11 stopped
working, as well as OO, after updating X11.
I reinstalled the system fro the installation disc. But I don't see
X11User.pkg on the installation disk under packages or utilities or
else but I can see it thow on my hard disk.
Second, when I try to enter my password, I can't even write a
single
letter. Nothing happen, it is like a freeze, except that I make
returns or enters.
Thanks

This appears to be more than just a simple OpenOffice.org problem.
First, if you are logged on as an user with administrative rights,
using
the sudo program should accept a password. It appears that your
system
may be corrupt and your hard drive maybe experiencing problems. I
highly recommend taking your system to someone to get it serviced
and
have the hard drive checked.
Second, If the X11 icon is in the dock this does not mean that
the X11
program is installed. Is this program in the Applications ->
Utilities
folder? If it is, click on the icon. Does anything happen? Can
you
open a terminal session, expand it to full screen width and then
type in
the following command: ps -aux
You should see two lines similar to the following:
bubba 20047 0.0 0.1 27728 792 ?? S 8:05PM 0:00.01
/Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11
bubba 20056 0.0 1.0 353844 10700 ?? S 8:05PM 0:25.33
/Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 -nolisten tcp :0
These signify that the X11 application is running and waiting for a
program to request its services.
If you do not see these two lines, X11 needs to be reinstalled and
this
requires the usage of the sudo command like so:
sudo rm /Library/Receipts/X11user.pkg
but you cannot enter a password in order to use this program.
Again,
this may require you to take your Mac to an Apple service center,
or if
you have Mac Gurus at your local Apple store they may be able to fix
this problem.
Good luck and hopefully you will be able to get this situation
resolved.
