Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 10201
soffice and swriter return unrecoverable error on startup, then hang indefinitely

The main problem is that Office and Writer both freeze and must be killed immediately after startup. The program presents an "unrecoverable error..." dialog. The program then stops responding. Incidentally, the programs take a long time to start up. The OS presents a dialog saying that they fail to respond to SaveYourself. I do not know if this is related, but I thought it worth mentioning. Also, my install was less than perfect. I ran install as root, then setup -net as root, but could not successfully run setup as a user. Doing so merely started up the install program, which said that OOo was already installed and gave no other options. So either the README is wrong, or the setup program is wrong or both. This occured on a x86 machine, Redhat Linux 6.2.
TM -> OF: as talked about, please have a look. Thanks !
You should: - make a -net installation as root first, - log in as user and start a workstation installation from this -net location That's what is described in the setup guide.
works for me
