Opening templates crashes Open Office Writer

Does installing openoffice.org-base resolve the problem for you?

Thanks,

Chris Cheney

I had the same problem ubuntu 7.10 amd64 and the openoffice-base doesn't resolve anything

I saw somewhere that the problem comes with openoffice-gnome or openoffice-ubuntu, i disinstalled them and it's working great now

I have the same problem with openoffice.org-core 1:2.3.0-1-ubuntu5.3 in Ubuntu 7.10, all updates applied, openoffice base installed. OpenOffice used to work without problem beforehand, but after the 2.3.0-gnome-update opening templates always causes a crash in the described manner. When starting kde, opening templates is working fine. Deinstalling openoffice-gnome integration didn't change anything.

I have the same problem with the openoffice-gnome package

Removing the openoffice.org-gtk package fixes this problem.
However, you will loose all theme integration with your Gnome desktop.

I would guess that it is because the theme integration is looking for an image or file for the templates that doesn't exist.

I believe that this bug has been corrected in Ubuntu hardy openoffice.org 1:2.4.0~rc2-1ubuntu3 so I am marking it as Fix Released. If after upgrading you continue to have problems with this issue then feel free to reopen this bug.

Thanks,
