I don't know if it's because I upgraded to Intrepid Ibex prematurely,
but for some reason OpenOffice.org crashes. It's worse in KDE4, but it
crashes in Gnome, too. In KDE, the splash screen and status bar icon
appear just fine, but then it suddenly quits without loading anything.
In Gnome, I'm able to open a document, but the only thing that appears
is the title bar. I decided to run oowriter in konsole, and this is
what turned up:
I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale "en_US"
user@computer:~$ The program '.' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 966 error_code 8 request_code 42 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error()
function.)
This is not a very friendly problem, especially since I need to view ppt
files as soon as possible.
