Hello,

I have installed edubuntu 7.04 on my Dell Dimension pc. Everything works great except that none of the open office applications will open. When I go to applications - office. I see the database, word processor, spreadsheet and presentation icons. But when i click on them nothing happens. I have looked for help, but as yet haven't found anything that will work. Thanks!

Hi Mark

A useful tip I found on linux is to open a shell (terminal) as a normal user, then you may find that just entering "soffice" (no quotes) will try to start the OpenOffice.org program. If that fails, navigate to the installation directory (I think on ubuntu it is in /usr/local/openoffice../program/ then put in " ./soffice" - note the "." before it. If there is a problem it will very likely give an error message and this will help your troubleshooting.

Reply back to the list or post to a ubuntu list, whichever seems the most likely to help.
