I still have 2.0.2. It uses a shell script called openoffice.org-2.0 in /usr/bin

To open a spreadsheet, I use

openoffice.org-2.0 -calc /home/terry/Current/Work/Test.ods

Do you have that shell script? It is probably (?) better to use that than soffice. :-\
Ah.  The executable in 2.1 is evidently linked to the wrong file:

http://qa.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=7315

Another user reports:

To fix it here, I edited /usr/bin/openoffice.org-2.1 to read:
Code:

#!/bin/sh
exec /opt/openoffice.org2.1/program/soffice "$@"

Hi Terry,

I tried it again to reinstall OO 2.1 again using the guide in the link you transmitted.

I erased the application via rpm, removed the app.-path an the users oo-directory with 'rm -rf /opt/openoffice* /home/user/.openoffice*' and started a new installation with

    rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs --replacefiles /tmp/OO*/RPMS/*.rpm

After that I took a look at my memory-bar, but this is fixed well.
Starting soffice from console with a simple spreadsheet, filling in the first value, hit <RETURN> and ... CRASH No output on console, just the possibility to recover. But the recovered file doesn't start because there are values in the spreadsheet . Shit ...

Any other ideas?

Hi all,

I've some problems using calc in version 2.0.4 and 2.1

>From one day to another I was not able to use 2.0.4. When I open an existing spreadsheet (odt, sxc or excel) with values inside the whole application crashes. The same happens when I open an empty sheet and fill the table with
values. After inserting the first value and hitting <RETURN> ...

Using 2.0.3 it is still working.

OS: SuSE 10.0
Windowmanager: several (Ice, windowmaker, KDE, Gnome)

When I start calc from a console there are no messages :-(

I tried to solve the problem in several ways:
- delete the whole application via rpm
- delete the files in /opt/openoffice.org2.?
- install the application via rpm -ivh --force *rpm
without success.

In the appendix there is a crash-report I got.

Hi, Max

I saw your post in the forum.

I understand that the procedure suggested in the Setup Guide for cleaning your system of any traces of old installations is effective. I suggest that you clean your system using *that* procedure before making a fresh install.

If you get error messages about missing dependencies, I suggest that you install whatever libraries are required rather than use --nodeps. If that becomes too onerous (as I know it can), you may have to be content with using your distro's version and install it with Smart.

The Setup Guide:

http://documentation.openoffice.org/setup_guide2/2.x/en/SETUP_GUIDE.pdf
http://documentation.openoffice.org/setup_guide2/2.x/en/SETUP_GUIDE_A4.pdf

BTW, the rpm man page (or some other rpm document I've seen) suggests using -Uvh even when making a fresh installation. The switches --replacepkgs and --replacefiles are useful if you want to reinstall.

The /.openoffice* folder in /home can be a source of problems. Very unlikely in your case because version 2.0.3 is working satisfactorily. You could test the possibility.


Greetings
