This is quick guide to install OpenOffice 3.3.0 on Fedora 16, Fedora 15, Fedora 14, Fedora 13, Fedora 12, CentOS 5.7, CentOS 6.2/6.1/6, Red Hat (RHEL) 5.7 and Red Hat (RHEL) 6.2/6.1/6 with using OpenOffice.org original RPM packages. This guide is also updated to work with OpenOffice 3.4.0 Beta Version. OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 and OpenOffice.org 3.4 can be installed and used simultaneously.

1. Download OpenOffice.org 3.3.0/3.4.0 Beta Linux Package

OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 32-bit version

wget http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/stable/3.3.0/OOo_3.3.0_Linux_x86_install-rpm-wJRE_en-US.tar.gz

OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 64-bit version

wget http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/stable/3.3.0/OOo_3.3.0_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm-wJRE_en-US.tar.gz

OpenOffice.org 3.4.0 Beta 32-bit version

wget http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/extended/3.4beta/OOo-Dev_3.4beta_20110411_Linux_x86_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz

OpenOffice.org 3.4.0 Beta 64-bit version

wget http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/extended/3.4beta/OOo-Dev_3.4beta_20110411_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz

2. Change to root User

su -
## OR ##
sudo -i

3. Remove Old OpenOffice.org Packages with following command

Note: This is not needed on OpenOffice.org 3.4.0 installation.

yum remove openoffice.org*

4. Extract Package and Access Directory

OpenOffice.org 3.3.0

tar -xvf OOo_3.3.0_*
 
cd OOO330* 
## OR ##
cd OOO330_m20_native_packed-1_en-US.9567/

OpenOffice.org 3.4.0 Beta

tar -xvf OOo-Dev_Dev_3.4Beta*
 
cd OOO340_m0*
## OR ##
cd OOO340_m0_native_packed-3_en-US.9583/

5. Install / Update OpenOffice.org RPM packages

OpenOffice.org 3.3.0

rpm -Uvh RPMS/*.rpm RPMS/desktop-integration/openoffice.org3.3-redhat-menus-3.3-*.rpm
## OR ##
rpm -Uvh RPMS/*.rpm
rpm -Uvh RPMS/desktop-integration/openoffice.org3.3-redhat-menus-3.3-*.rpm

OpenOffice.org 3.4.0 Beta

rpm -Uvh RPMS/*.rpm

Alternative Way To Install OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 and OpenOffice.org 3.4.0 Beta with Graphical Setup Is Following

Do exactly as before (download, change root, remove old, extract package and access directory), but on Install step simply run following command:

./setup

Now install simply with GUI.

6. Start OpenOffice.org

OpenOffice.org 3.3.0

Start OpenOffice with Clicking Icons (found normally from menus) or Start OpenOffice with Following Command:

openoffice.org3

OpenOffice.org 3.4.0 Beta

Use following command:

/opt/ooo-dev3/program/soffice.bin

There is not yet menu icons package for OpenOffice.org 3.4.0 Beta so you have to create own icons, example using OOo 3.3.0 incons as base.

Screenshots

OpenOffice.org 3.4.0 Beta running on Fedora 15

OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 stable running on Fedora 14

OpenOffice.org 3.4.0 Alpha unstable running on Fedora 14

Troubleshooting

If you encounter following problem on installing OpenOffice.org 3.3.0/3.4.0 Beta:

error: Failed dependencies:
	libgnomevfs-2.so.0()(64bit) is needed by ooobasis3.3-gnome-integration-3.3.0-9567.x86_64

Then install gnome-vfs2 package with following command:

yum install gnome-vfs2

If you encounter problems in launching OpenOffice.org 3.3.0/3.4.0 Beta, so you should try to start OpenOffice from the command line and check the errors.

If the errors are the following:

$ openoffice.org3
/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libuno_sal.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

$ openoffice.org3
/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin: /opt/openoffice.org3/program/../basis-link/ure-link/lib/libuno_sal.so.3: version `UDK_3.10' not found (required by /opt/openoffice.org3/program/../basis-link/program/libsfxli.so)
/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin: /opt/openoffice.org3/program/../basis-link/program/libfreebl3.so: version `NSSRAWHASH_3.12.3' not found (required by /lib/libcrypt.so.1)

Your system is probably installed the wrong version of the package openoffice.org-ure. Example on Fedora YUM update upgrade openoffice.org-ure package from openoffice.org-ure-1.7.0-9567 (right package) to openoffice.org-ure-3.2.1-19.26.fc14 (wrong package).

I recommend the following to fix the problem (as root):

Remove all OpenOffice.org 3.2.1/3.3.0 packages

yum remove openoffice.org-ure jre-1.6.0_22-fcs openoffice.org3.3-redhat-menus-*.noarch

Follow the earlier instructions to install OpenOffice again.

Block openoffice.org-ure package updates. In other words, “pin” openoffice.org-ure-1.7.0-9567 and libreoffice-ure packages
Add exclude row to /etc/yum.conf file, under the section [main]:

## Edit file
nano -w /etc/yum.conf
 
## Add exclude row
[main]
exclude=openoffice.org-ure* libreoffice-ure*

After that the openoffice.org-ure and libreoffice-ure package is “pinned” and will not be updated. It is important to remember to remove that line, at the stage where sometimes update the Open Office or Libreoffice example via YUM package management.

Funny. After having the ure issue and reinstalling, I now get “no suitable windowing system found, exiting.” I begin to understand why I switched from Ubuntu…

  It sounds like a problem with SELinux.
  
  Check /var/log/messages file and try to find something OpenOffice related errors, like example following:
  
  SELinux is preventing /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin from loading /opt/openoffice.org3/program/[something] which requires text relocation.
  
  And post errors here.

Thanks a lot for the write-up. This saved me from despair as i was having problems installing it and i ran into the dreaded message “jre-1.6.0_18-fcs.i586 is already installed” and couldn’t move forward. I got it fixed and installed after coming across your web page. Thanks again! :)

Hi, I followed the instructions and the installation ran smooth on my Fedora
12 x86_64. However, trying to run ‘soffice’ or ‘openoffice.org3′ for the first
time, right at the welcome window the program crashes at the “User Name” step.
Since this phase is never completed because of this crash, every time I try to
run oppenoffice this damn window appears again, and so I am totally unable to
run any openoffice program! The error message Konsole gives me is:

/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice: line 131: 3148 Segmentation fault (core dumped) “$sd_prog/$sd_binary” “$@”

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

Hi Anderson,

I found a bug report about same problem here. Looks like this bug is not solved yet, but one thing what you could try is remove old .openoffice.org profile directory with command:

mv ~/.openoffice.org ~/.openoffice.org.bak ## Then try start openoffice again ## /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice

Another possible option if you are using KDE is following:

export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice

And yet another possible option is try to install OpenOffice.org 3.2 from rawhide repository, maybe it works for you. You can try to install it with following command (as root):

yum --enablerepo=rawhide install openoffice*

  YEAH!!
  
  I tried the second option and it worked wonderfully!
  
  Thank you so much! I was trying to avoid downloading openoffice from repos
  since it would automatically download tons of fedora’s java packages as dependencies (I prefer sun’s java sdk ;) Thanks again!

  Like solution I tried the second option and OOo start successfully.
  
  But when I end work in Writer or Calc, appears window “The KDE Crash Handler” with next error

And, when I start it from command line, I will get this error:

/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice
/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice: line 131: 2807 Segmentation fault (core dumped) “$sd_prog/$sd_binary” “$@”

But in my .bash_profile file I have insered this line > export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome

When I run export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome from command line before I run /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice, I get only warning message: ** (soffice:2926): WARNING **: unable to get gail version number
And OOo starts good, but this isn’t comfortable solution :-(

Thanks

  This sounds very strange, that export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome line directly from the command-line works, but not from the .bash_profile file. One thing, what you can try is following, print the contents of OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP variable on the command line, after you’ve logged in, with following command:
  
  echo $OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP
  
  Is this just empty or gnome?
  
  You can also try the following options.
  
  1. Add same thing on two lines at the end of .bash_profile file:
  
  OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP
  
  2. Another option is to add the following lines at the end of /etc/profile file:
  
  OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP
  
  3. And last option is simply do simple bash script which handle the OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP variable export and starts openoffice.
  Create example following /usr/local/bin/oowriter file as root with following content:
  
  #!/bin/bash export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice -writer
  
  Save file and make it executable:
  
  chmod +x /usr/local/bin/oowriter
  
  And make needed scripts same way for Calc, Presentation, Math, Database and so on.
  
  Finally edit all shortcuts to use your new scripts.
  
  Perhaps these instructions were helpful to you? :)

Thank you so much for the installation instructions and the comments that others have posted here. I followed all of them and openoffice 3.2 installed fine. The only issue I saw was when it installed the redhat-menus rpm, it says that gtk-update-icon-cache is missing due to which it is unable to perform a few activities. However, that does not stop the installation nor does it crash openoffice. I believe this might be because I am using only KDE and no gnome at all.

Hi,

I’m using Fedora 12 and I’ve tried installing the RPMs in the terminal and also using the ./setup approach. Everything seems to check out okay in that the Office menu gets populated with the various OpenOffice applications such as Base, Calc, Writer, and so forth, but if I click on any of them, nothing happens at all I then tried and run the openoffice.org3 command in the terminal and get this error:

/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstlport_gcc.so: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Permission denied

I checked the OO mailing list from one of the google search results for the error but its way over my head. It’s been a while since I used Fedora; I could have sworn the last time I tried it a few years back, OO was preinstalled even. Oh well, I’m guessing this is due to some newbie mistake I must have made.

Hi again,

OK I got it working (I think) thanks to this excellent work by the person who authored this post!:

http://www.vildev.ewil.pl/?method=get_news&id=16

Basically, the problem was due to some SELinux/permissions issue. You have to make a series of execstack commands (adjust the location of the files depending on your own system’s open office installation).

execstack -c /opt/openoffice.org/ure/lib/libstlport_gcc.so
execstack -c /opt/openoffice.org/ure/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
execstack -c /opt/openoffice.org/ure/lib/libstlport_g
execstack -c /opt/openoffice.org/ure/lib/libstdc++.so.6

Now Open Office seems to finally open and run correctly. But I have not tested everything to make sure. The author of the post I linked to seems to hint about another error that he or she ran into after doing the above. I hope this will help anyone else who runs into the issue.

    This are my files in directory :/usr/share/applications.
    I don’t see any openoffice.desktop file there …or should i create it ?
    The same situation is in the /usr/local/share/applications.

      Yes I meant that the openoffice.desktop file(s) should create from scratch.
      
      OpenOffice.org 3.3 is still beta, so therefore it is still missing desktop integration.
      
      But I just checked OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 files more specific and easy way to get launchers work is following:
      
      cd ~/.local/share/applications/ ## Create new dir, later it's easier remove, ## when OpenOffice gets working desktop integration mkdir OOO330 cd OOO330 ## Copy all desktop files, not last dot cp /opt/ooo-dev3/share/xdg/*.desktop . ## Replace Exec commands from all .desktop files using sed sed -i 's/Exec=ooo-dev3/Exec=\/opt\/ooo-dev3\/program\/soffice.bin/g' *.desktop
      
      Then check menu, launchers should be under Office section. Currently without icons, but should work.

        Hi JR,
        Many thanks for helping, but still not wokring.
        I made every step you described include creating and editing a file to
        /usr/share/applications/openoffice.desktop.
        
        Under office section i have only Abiword.
        And i have a .xls file on my desktop and i can not open it dyrectly.
        Before i installed version 3.2 (by yum extender), i had all office programs in the menu but only writer and impress were working. Other two wich are : calc and draw was not.

        If you do exactly following:
        
        cd ~/.local/share/applications/ ## Create new dir, later it's easier remove, ## when OpenOffice gets working desktop integration mkdir OOO330 cd OOO330 ## Copy all desktop files, not last dot cp /opt/ooo-dev3/share/xdg/*.desktop . ## Replace Exec commands from all .desktop files using sed sed -i 's/Exec=ooo-dev3/Exec=\/opt\/ooo-dev3\/program\/soffice.bin/g' *.desktop
        
        Then you should have following directory:
        ~/.local/share/applications/OOO330
        with following files:
        
        ls ~/.local/share/applications/OOO330 base.desktop impress.desktop printeradmin.desktop test-base.desktop calc.desktop javafilter.desktop qstart.desktop writer.desktop draw.desktop math.desktop startcenter.desktop
        
        And I just tested this with LXDE and it looks like working. I have OOo-dev 3.3 (OOo-dev 3.3 Base, OOo-dev 3.3 Calc, OOo-dev 3.3 Draw, OOo-dev 3.3 Impress, OOo-dev 3.3 Math, OOo-dev 3.3 Printer Administration, OOo-dev 3.3 Writer) launchers under Office menu.

@ljbomir

Indented comments will not work deeper, so lets start new “thread” :)

Try to change ~/.config/.ooo-dev/ directory permissions to your own user. You are maeby started OpenOffice using root user or something like that.

So do following (as root):

chown -R ljbomir:ljbomir /home/ljbomir/.config/.ooo-dev # Just in case also add write permission to group chmod -R g+w /home/ljbomir/.config/.ooo-dev

After this try to start OpenOffice again.

I am newer than new to Linux. In fact, I have no business fooling around with my new system because I clearly do not know what I’m doing.

Yet – because of the clear instructions and excellent advice from the host of this website, I successfully installed OpenOffice on my Fedora OS based Dell laptop. I almost gave up several times but hung in there and got it up and running. Plus I learned a few new things I didn’t know before.

Thank you very much for this great website.

Hi there,

I’ve tried your method 3 times now (with exclude row on etc/yum.conf), openoffice works perfetly for few hours then pooooooooof I get the usual error:

/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libuno_sal.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

        It really seems that your Fedora does not have yum anymore. So you could try to install yum package with following command (assuming that you are using CentOS 5):
        
        rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/yum-3.2.22-26.el5.centos.noarch.rpm
        
        Then try to use yum again, does it work?

        You have to install all dependencies manually, all files can be found here:
        http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/
        
        So you need install also at least following package:
        
        rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/yum-fastestmirror-1.1.16-14.el5.centos.1.noarch.rpm
        
        And same way install all needed dependency packages to get YUM package installed.

    It’s really weird, but everything seems to be okay.
    
    One thing what you could try, is to run soffice.bin directly, like:
    
    /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin
    
    Do you get same error?
    
    Another options is to try install OpenOffice 3.3 or try to remove OpenOffice and reinstall using installer (./setup command)

I had probem you describe – was running fedora 12 and ran yum update
open office quit
found your site
followed your procedure – including editing yum.com

and it was fixed – until yesterday when I

ran preupgrade and installed feodra 13
back to square zero
open office does not run
when I run at command line, I get the same message as before
when I look at yum.conf it still has the line exclude=open.office.org-ure

should I remove and reinstall open office?

  Hi Richard,
  
  Your problem sounds like that the Preupgrade has (some reason) updated the openoffice.org-ure package. You can check installed version using following command:
  
  yum info openoffice.org-ure
  
  Output should be something like:
  
  Installed Packages Name : openoffice.org-ure Arch : i586 Version : 1.6.1 Release : 9502 Size : 9.1 M Repo : installed Summary : UNO Runtime Environment License : LGPL Description : UNO Runtime Environment
  
  If you have wrong version installed, then you can simply remove whole OpenOffice.org installation and reinstall it using this guide.

    JR – thank you so much for your help
    I feel lost and vulnerable in this fedora environment – and you are a lifesaver
    I’ve been involved with software since the 1950′s – but things change and it is almost impossible to stay on top of everythng – and the rate of change gets bigger and bigger
    
    FYI – when I type yum info openoffice.org-ure I get
    
    Installed Packages
    Name : openoffice.org-ure

    : UNO components may be implemented in and accessed from any

    when I type yum list openoffice.org-ure I get
    
    openoffice.org-ure.i686 1:3.2.0-12.33.fc13 @anaconda-InstallationRepo-201005130056.i386
    
    Apparently openoffice.org-ure (whatever that is and it is not clear where I would look to find out what it is) has been reloaded when I ran preupgrade.
    
    So maybe yum uses yum.conf but preupgrade does not?
    
    I will remove it and reinstall it.
    
    I assume that the same thng may happen when I go to fedora 14 some day. And that the appropriate step is again to remove and reinstall.

Hi, I’me facing following problem:
I’ve upgraded from fedora10 to 11 then to 13.
Install openoffice 3.2 (as indicated here) and work happily with doc and docx documents.

Last night I’ve upgraded to fedora14, and OpenOffice stop running.
I’ve following your instruction here and everything ok but …
But now can not open docx files -> become opened by Archiver
Can open doc but have loose format on some tables.

Know is a generic question, baut do you have some hint ?

Thanks JR!!! you’re a master! I haveve only a few months using fedora and due to your manual I learned some new things
the only change that I made was the language because I need OOo in spanish.
And thanks a lot for the troubleshooting becouse that problem hapened to me.

I wondering if there’s any problem if I make a translation of your manual to spanish, with the steps that I used for the instalation based in your guide? of course I will quote your article

Hi
Very nice article. I have installed openoffice as per the instruction given above. But when I click on openoffice writer or calc, the registration pop-up comes. After I have given the options in the pop-up and click finish, nothing appears neither writer nor calc. Can some one help me.

I tried to install by double clicking on the setup file after extracted but it threw me some errors with missing dependencies. Following your guide works perfectly. Thank you!

I installed OpenOffice 3.3 using these steps on Fedora 15. However, I cannot find the OOo icon on the Applications page. Does anyone know where it might be found?

  Hi Mark,
  
  Did you installed RPMS/desktop-integration/openoffice.org3.3-redhat-menus-3.3-*.rpm package?

    JR, Thanks for responding. I didn’t notice that OOo didn’t install when I first tried to install it. Now that I have performed the installation as you have suggested above, I am getting the message that openoffice is obsoleted by (installed) libreoffice-ure 1.3.3.3.1-2.fc15.i686. I tried to uninstall libreoffice through the add/remove utility and it seems to have removed it, but I still get the same message.

      I had to remove LibreOffice. After that, the installation of OpenOffice per your instructions went fine. Use these commands:
      
      # yum erase libreoffice-core
      # yum erase libreoffice-ure

        Hi Mark,
        
        And sorry for the long delay, I have been little busy now, but if I understand correctly, so therefore you got Open Office installation to work as expected?

First of thanks for your post
I tried to install openOffice on Centos 6 using ur instruction and I get the following message and the installation stops

1.7.0-fcs.x86_64 (which is newer than jre-1.6.0_22-fcs.x86_64) is already installed

any idea how to get around this issue?! I pinned the openoffice.org-ure-1.7.0-9567 package still got the same message!

  Hi sam,
  
  Actually this is jre package problem, so install all other RPM packages, but skip older jre-1.6.0_22-fcs.x86_64.

  Hi sophie,
  
  Are you sure, that you have Fedora 8 on your computer? Fedora 8 has not been supported for years. Could you open command line, write following commands and post output here:

      Hi Sophie,
      
      Yes, Linpus Linux Lite v1.0.6.E really based on Fedora 8 (Werewolf). It’s is really old distro. Do you know is there any possibility upgrade it?

  Hi Sophie,
  
  So it looks like you have problems when you try to download OpenOffice package. Try to download it with your browser? Copy-paste following address to your browser:

        Then open command line and find your package.
        
        Run following commands:
        
        tar -xvf OOo_3.3.0_* cd OOO330* ## Run following command as root user ## ./setup
        
        Then finish installation with setup gui.

        Where you downloaded that file? You have to maybe change directory example to Downloads with following command:
        
        cd Downloads/
        
        You could check your current directory files with ls command…example:
        
        ls -latrh
        
        When you are right directory, then run tar command again.

    Hi Sophie,
    
    Try exactly following:
    
    sudo -i yum remove openoffice.org* cd /tmp wget http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/stable/3.3.0/OOo_3.3.0_Linux_x86_install-rpm-wJRE_en-US.tar.gz md5sum OOo_3.3.0_Linux_x86_install-rpm-wJRE_en-US.tar.gz
    
    md5sum is just check is your file corrupted or not and output should be exactly following:
    
    24ff3fb594dfb1718512cf41cbe18ffc OOo_3.3.0_Linux_x86_install-rpm-wJRE_en-US.tar.gz
    
    If md5sum 24ff3fb594dfb1718512cf41cbe18ffc match, then continue with following commands:
    
    tar -xvf OOo_3.3.0_Linux_x86_install-rpm-wJRE_en-US.tar.gz cd OOO330_m20_native_packed-1_en-US.9567/ rpm -Uvh RPMS/*.rpm rpm -Uvh RPMS/desktop-integration/openoffice.org3.3-redhat-menus-3.3-*.rpm
    
    You are done, OpenOffice installation is ready and then open OpenOffice with following command:
    
    openoffice.org3
    
    Or check your system menus. ;)

      thanks a lot JR!!! :)
      
      it worked already!
      
      sorry, i wasn’t able to do it asap because we were having problems with the internet connection because of the bad weather – storm…
      
      but it’s worth the wait!
      
      by the way, here how it went just in case you or somebody is interested:

        i don’t know why and what happened but i didn’t do anything after installing it…
        
        what happened?

        Try following to do following:
        
        1. Open terminal and write:
        
        sudo thunar
        
        2. Go to /usr/share/applications
        
        3. Find OpenOffice icons Right-click and select properties
        
        4. Find Launcher -> Command, then erase the %U
        
        You have to do same for all OpenOffice icons. It should work like this, but I do not have Linpus Linux Lite v1.0.6.E / Fedora 8 now available, so I can not be sure. :)

Hi,

I am using Fedora 13.I tried to try to install openoffice.org using the tutorial.I got the following error:
Preparing… ########################################### [100%]
file /etc/init.d/jexec from install of jre-1.6.0_22-fcs.i586 conflicts with file from package jdk-2000:1.7.0-fcs.i586.
Thank you.

  Hi usha,
  
  You could try to download and install OpenOffice.org without JRE. Download following package and try again:
  
  ## 32-bit ## wget http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/stable/3.3.0/OOo_3.3.0_Linux_x86_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz ## 64-bit ## wget http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/stable/3.3.0/OOo_3.3.0_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz
  
  Please let me know could you get it working?

Hi,

I opened the tar package.I got this error.
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
So again I downloaded,I cannot download the full file.
Thank you.

  Hi usha,
  
  Another option is install all other packages, but not the jre-1.6.0_22-fcs.i586 package. I just checked OpenOffice package and actually all other rpms starts with o letter, so you could try following with original package:
  
  rpm -Uvh RPMS/o*.rpm rpm -Uvh RPMS/desktop-integration/openoffice.org3.3-redhat-menus-3.3-*.rpm

i did it already…same thing happens…

but when i access it thru the menu in the office by right clicking on the desktop/home screen then choosing office then open office.org 3 writer it’s working but when i access it on the work tab it’s still posting the same error message…by the way, the icon there is word processor…maybe that’s the reason why…but i don’t know how will make that work

  I think that the red hat menus package launchers are not compatible with Fedora 8 so that’s why it’s not working properly, but only way is fix those manually. Could you post example oowriter launcher content from /usr/share/applications directory?
  
  Reply
  - sophie / October 6, 2011
    
    ex:
    
    oowriter
    
    description: word processor
    command: openoffice.org3 -writer %U
    comment: Create and edit text and graphics in letters, reports, documents and Web pages by using Writer.
    
    options: use startup notification (unchecked)
    run in terminal (unchecked)
    
    is that what you meant by content?
    
    or it’s another thing?

      Hi sophie,
      
      This is just what I wanted to see, so modify following line:
      
      command: openoffice.org3 -writer %U
      
      To
      
      command: openoffice.org3 -writer
      
      So remove %U and try to use launcher again. Is it working? :)

        i already removed the %U so now it’s only
        
        openoffice.org3 -writer
        
        but it’s still posting the same error message…

Thanks for this guide LibreOffice was messing up graphics on Fedora 16 with the akmod drivers and the following chipset:

00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] (rev a2)

I removed LibreOffice, excluded it from yum and installed OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 64-bit version (SELinux disabled). Everythings fine now.
