can't open existing documents after system failure

Post by shimura »

Hi,
I'm using OpenOffice 2.0 under SUSE Linux Enterprise 10

After linux crash and reboot I've try to open OpenOffice, then recovery bit appear and it start recovering one of files opened before reboot.
Recovery stuck and after some time OpenOffice crashed.
In second go I've skipped recovery bit to move further.
OpenOffice is starting no problems but I can create new documents but I can't open any existing documents.

Anyone any idea ???

Try to rename your OOo user profile (~/.openoffice.org2). It may come from a damaged configuration file, renaming the profile will lead to the creation of a new one.

Thanks to add '[Solved]' at beginning of your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

Can you open them from OOo interface? Or is it both from file manager and OOo impossible?

Try to refresh your OOo installation with Yast.
Or install newer version of OOo for SLED (now 2.3.1 in this repo) from this source, in a short time will consist 2.4 version.
AOO 4.0 and LibO 4 on Win 8
