Inexplicably, OpenOffice/LibreOffice won't launch anymore. For example, if I type 'oocalc' at a prompt nothing happens. The same is true if I type 'libreoffice --write'. Using 'ps aux|grep oocalc' or 'ps aux|grep libreoffice' shows no processes either. This is true for any user on the machine, including root. No errors are logged to /var/log/messages.

Any suggestions to discover and correct the problem are welcome. I'd rather not resort to just rebooting the machine as I would prefer to find where the problem is.

your lines are not wrapped.

try: ps aux |grep libre

the *splash may be loaded w/o one of the *apps*, ie: oocalc, oowriter Hello,

You might also want to consider running "strace command" to diagnose any problem during start up. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you Bombshellz, Got an interesting trace, although I am not sure what it means; # strace oocalc execve("/usr/bin/oocalc", ["oocalc"], [/* 67 vars */]) = 0 brk(0) = 0x69e000 mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7f92d6b33000 mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7f92d6b32000 access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib64/bash/4.0/tls/x86_64/libreadline.so.6", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/lib64/bash/4.0/tls/x86_64", 0x7fff7bd24950) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib64/bash/4.0/tls/libreadline.so.6", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/lib64/bash/4.0/tls", 0x7fff7bd24950) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib64/bash/4.0/x86_64/libreadline.so.6", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/lib64/bash/4.0/x86_64", 0x7fff7bd24950) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib64/bash/4.0/libreadline.so.6", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/lib64/bash/4.0", 0x7fff7bd24950) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3 fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=150419, ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 150419, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x7f92d6b0d000 close(3) = 0 open("/lib64/libreadline.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3 read(3, "\177ELF\2\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0>\0\1\0\0\0\360g\1\0\0\0\0\0"..., 832) = 832 <snip> James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
