My soffice52 just hangs shortly after the splash screen is displayed. I've rebooted and removed the office.lck file but it seems like there is somthing else that need to be removed. I beleive a converted MS user has been double clicking on his desktop and this is what has me hosed. Does anyone remember what I've got to do get it unlocked???

Are yoiu using kde/gbome/some oither multidesktop windowmanager, and does it automatically staroffice for you at bootup ?

If so, look around if there is at some other desktop a n error box/warning box (whatever) wiating for your confirmation).

Kind regards,

Using kde2.1.1. I ended up moving the users office52 dir out of the way then doing a fresh workstation install then copying all the users files back in. It's up and running again. Thanks all

I have SuSE 7.1, using KDE 2.0.1. I attempted to upgrade KDE to 2.1.1 using the rpms from the SuSE web site. Installed them using Yast1. Installation went OK without a hitch. However, when I rebooted and X was starting up, I got an error message saying something to the effect that dcopserver wasn't running. And it hangs there. Can't do anything else with it. Surely someone out there knows the fix for this.

Thanks

First thing to check: Did you really install *all* the KDE2 rpms that you needed? Including the QT libraries? You don't have to install QT experimental though... Matt

As I recall, the main thing is, DON'T install qt-experimental from that directory. What is it doing there? I don't know.

Maybe that's the problem. I remember that I did install qt-experimental. Well. what do I do now?

Make sure you install in the recommended order -- kdesupport, kdelibs, kdebase. That's all that I remember.

You may have problems with *.fon fonts, and you may have to remove them from your truetype directory. You may have to turn anti-aliasing off, and rebuild your truetype directory before enabling it again.

You're better off than I am - I don't use Gnome or Kde - I use Reflexion X on a windows machine. I can't even figure out how to start it, all the instructions assume that it is displayed on your desktop! alan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerhard den Hollander" To: "Mark Hounschell" Cc: Sent: Friday, June 15, 2001 7:16 PM Subject: Re: [SLE] [OT] Star-office-52? | * MarZZ Hounschell (Thu, Jun 14, 2001 at 04:06:18PM -0400) | > My soffice52 just hangs shortly after the splash screen is displayed. | > I've | > rebooted and removed the office.lck file but it seems like there is | > somthing | > else that need to be removed.
