Hi People,
Yesterday my openoffice stopped working. I can click on the icons on the desktop or in the menus but none of the parts open up - not the word processor, not the spreadsheet, not the database, etc.
I can't think of what it might be. I downloaded updates yesterday for everything, which I do about once a week.
The only thing odd I did was to download some google toolbar thingees through the new firefox 3 browser ( don't even remember what ). What is odd is that I never download anything into this computer except from the ubuntu download sites.
Haven't had any other problems. Everything else seems to work fine, to the extent that I've checked.
I have been using Hardy since it came out, and have been using Ubuntu since version 5.0 - awhile. But I'm nobodies guru for sure.
I use a 500 GB USB external hard drive for my OS, and just plug
into another computer that is on the web to upgrade and download.
Except for the oddity mentioned earlier, this is what I have been doing for awhile with no problems before now. My hardware is all pretty vanilla, middle of the road stuff. Using DSL to get on the web.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for any help.
In the meantime I think I'll get back online, delete the present Ooo suite (2.4.1 by the way) and download again - reinstall. See if that works. Weird.
