Hi,

Every time I must get back lost document, when I recover document it's happen again :( I run system log but I don't know what search. Sorry for my language and grateful for any help.

Regards!:)

You may want to try openoffice from the ppa repositories.
First remove your current openoffice:


sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org

then put the repository into your sources.list:


sudo -s
echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu jaunty main' |cat >>/etc/apt/sources.list
exit

Now import the gpg-key:

gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv 247D1CFF && gpg --export --armor 247D1CFF | sudo apt-key add

Then:


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openoffice.org


If you start openoffice and you get a somehow "damaged" entry window and/or mising toolbar icons then (re-)install your openoffice.org-style-XXXX packages

If you still get the file-recovery window on startup, then you should delete the directory /home/your_name/.openoffice.org directory:


rm -r /home/your_name/.openoffice.org

But take in mind that in this case you will loose all your user-settings you have made to openoffice.

Hope it helps.

Before trying the PPA version, I would try to reset the OOo user profile (http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?p=58403#p58403) but don't transfer your personal data during the welcome process (if you had 2.x before), configuration files from the former version might corrupt the new profile.

rm -r /home/your_name/.openoffice.org


This fix my problem! Thanks very much :P
