I think I see the problem: http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_20.html <quote> Linux: * Installation of GNOME 2.2 </quote> You are using KDE, so I suspect that not having gnome/gtk installed is causing the issue. Unfortunately I do not have a current kubuntu/kde installed, so perhaps it might be better to ask in one of these forums: http://www.kubuntu.org/support.php http://kubuntuforums.net/ https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users If you do find the answer there, please do post back so that others will know what you found out, and so that Hagar and update his instructions to include kubutun/kde as well.
