Description Unknown 2002-07-03 17:21:43 UTC 
Have downloaded OpenOffice 1.0.0, installed following instructions on the 
openoffice.org website, first as root using install, and then from a 'normal' 
user account first as a network installation and second as a local 
installation. In each case on trying to start OpenOffice the splash screen 
comes up and then disappears, without any further application window showing. 
If started from a shell in the user openoffice directory, the message 'aborted' 
appears, but no more details.

You uses gnome?  There is a problem with gnome.  Please read to this 
in openoffice.discuss postings to "OO terminates after startup" - 
date 02.07 and 03.07. - possibly the posting from Caolan McNamara 
will be helpful.
Comment 4 Unknown 2002-07-08 09:06:51 UTC 
No, using KDE 2 as installed by the default SuSe installation.
Comment 5 Unknown 2002-07-08 14:00:57 UTC 
Also, I have tried the 
unset SESSION_MANAGER
'fix', and it has no effect. Problem remains unchanged.
Comment 6 Joost Andrae 2002-07-17 13:56:41 UTC 
Joost: on my SuSE 7.2 it is no issue. The application starts.
Joost->Mike: please give some more details about your system
configuration (esp. graphic device, XFree86 version (I updated my
system to XFree86 4.2).
Comment 7 Unknown 2002-07-23 09:21:09 UTC 
I'm using Xfree86 4.0.3-35; default with Suse Linux 7.2.
Device is Intel I815 (as detected by SAX2)
