<pre wrap="">I am having trouble opening any of the open office programs since upgrading
to Karmic. Any way I try and open a spreadsheet or word processor (clicking
on the icon, using alt/F2, or clicking on a relevant document) starts a logo
of open office and then nothing.
No further activity takes place. I tried "sudo apt-get install
openoffice.org" and was informed that I had the latest updated version of
openoffice.
Is this a bug I should report, or is there another solution?

<pre wrap=""><!---->Also try to remove the .openoffice.org directory from your
home directory. Just to be sure, I would move it
like this:
mv .openoffice.org/ .openoffice.org.back/
With my installation, I had the same. This was because
before the Ubuntu upgrade, I had installed openoffice.org
from the original openoffice.org website (i.e. not from
Ubuntu). So after the upgrade I ended up with a dual
openoffice install. One was from ubuntu, the other was the
old one from openoffice.org. After moving .openoffice.org/
the Ubuntu supplied openoffice worked for me.
As I do prefer the original versus the goo-oorg version from
ubuntu, nevertheless, I finally removed "anything
openoffice" from synaptic and then installed freshly with a
version from openoffice.org.
That solved it for me.
Kind regards
