Well, I would love to, but as I said in my first post there is nothing on
console at all. It just goes back to prompt as if program just closed. On
Mandriva every new installation of OO worked like charm.
I think I see the problem:

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.

Hello,
I am on Kubuntu Feisty with all latest updates installed. I did follow
this
instruction precisely removing and purging all files that came with
distribution. I tried to install openoffice 2.3 from the openoffice
website.
I tried both DEB version and RPM via alien as was described here.
Installation goes without any problems. I can open, say, writer program,
but
when i try to open any file the whole OO window just closes. The same
happens when I select "About Openoffice.org" in the Help menu or try to
click "Close Document" [X] button. I can see no errors on console when
the
crash occurs.
Any ideas?
From a terminal window:
$ soffice
and post if the program starts and you open a file what, if any, output
you get from the terminal window.
if 'soffice' does not work, then try:
$ /opt/openoffice.org2.3/program/soffice
and post what happens then.

Another alternative is a conversion of the rpms to tar using rpm2targz
(a 3.5KB Slackware script) and untarring the tar.gz files from / as
root. These will be placed in /opt/openoffice-2.3.
I use this method on my LinuxFromScratch system as the source code which
is used for this OS is unbuildable and takes a day if it is! You should
be up and running in 20 minutes and the menus can be redirected/updated
later.
