Tell us how you start your OO Writer when you get the error ?
In any way i try to run it . For example if i download a document through firefox and then ask it to open the file then Writer will crash .
Leave this case for later.
Mainly i would be worried about the fact that when i do the following Writer crashes
I start by pressing the f ( on the lower left corner ( yes by the way it is the KDE desktop ) ) then i move on to the Applications tab then to Office then to OpenOffice.org and finally to Writer .
I undestand this will crash sometimes. I will come back to it in next post.
What desktop are you on: GNOME, KDE, etc ?
Am using KDE ( perhaps this will be of assistance kdebase-4.5.5-1.fc14.x86_64 ) ... The command that get´s executed is
openoffice.org -writer %U ( from the Panel )
This is OK. Btw, I am in GNOME desktop, but I see you can find things I asked for in KDE.
... The bogus thing here is that for some reason today for example i can use Writer , tomorrow after some updates i can´t and then again after some more updates i will probably be able to use Writer again . Now Writer seems to be working normally . ...
Do this to update and clean up your machine: # yum distro-sync
If you can, reboot your machine (this will restart your desktop as well) to reinitialize various dynamic libraries paths, etc.
On a sidenote here , although it is quite irrelevant i have to add that i did an
"rpmdb --rebuild" last night after your last email since i was under the impression that something wasn´t going all that well with the rpm database .
That's fine.
... Anyway could u please remind me the command in order to see the last updates ?
# ls -al /var/log/yum* # less /var/log/yum
