Hi!

I seem to have a problem with OpenOffice 2.0, as shipped with SuSE
9.3, WHEN I try to start OO as a user who has his home directory on
another machine.

When I type "oocalc", I get no splash screen but there will be two
processes:

adriaan 7607 7422 0 14:19 pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/ooo-2.0/program/soffice -calc
adriaan 7616 7607 37 14:19 pts/0 00:00:07 /usr/lib/ooo-2.0/program/soffice.bin -calc

No error messages; ctrl-c will give me a new prompt but the processes
will still be there, without using a lot of CPU time. The latter can
be killed with signal 9.

I could not find a debug or verbose flag for OO and now I'm guessing.

Another window manager: no luck. Superuser access via "su": no luck.
Have the useruser share his home dir via NFS: no luck.

Whenever I copy the user's home dir to a local filesystem, then
openoffice will start.

Who has seen such behaviour? Any guesses what causes it?

Adriaan.

PS. Before yesterday's update to 9.3, I used 9.3 and had no trouble
with this same setup.
