OpenOffice Crashes Edgy

Which version of Ubuntu are you currently running?
 * 5.10 - Breezy
 * 6.06 - Dapper
 * 6.10 - Edgy

Which version of OpenOffice.org are you running? (Help > About)

Richard - clearly pete is using edgy, see the name of the bug.

I can't reproduce this, here's how I tried:

1. Open OpenOffice.org Presentation. Under 'Tools > Options... ' in the section marked 'memory' I put a tick to 'Enable systray quickstarter'.
2. I closed the options dialog and opened an existing OOo presentation without any trouble.
3. I then rebooted the computer to make sure quickstart was started. I can see in System monitor that OpenOffice is being started with the -quickstart option enabled. Again I opened an existing OOo presentation without any trouble.

So here's some questions for pete:

* The default (currently) OOo install is 2.0.4 shipped as 2.0.4-0ubuntu2. Do you have that version?
* What type of file were you trying to open/view. Please use the file formats full name (Microsoft Powerpoint/ OOo presentation etc.)

I'm adding the tag 'edgy' to this bug

Thanks for the help! I attached an strace. I am running OO 2.0.4 trying to
start a new presentation. You are correct I am running edgy.

Added strace

I also turned off quickstart and I get the same behavior.

It's looking for a lot of thing which I don't have in '/usr/lib/openoffice/program' - and you don't either - so why is it looking for them? How did you upgrade to edgy - dist-upgrade or fresh install?

Fresh Install

I have it working now. I removed openoffice completely and reinstalled. This may just be a problem on fresh installs. Thanks for the help.
