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 . 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 . >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 ) - from the menu ? Yes from the menu . > If so, what is in that menu's launcher ? Yes Applications - Office - OpenOffice.org Writer ThatÂs the path . >right click your mouse on OpenOffice.org Writer and select > "Add this launcher to panel" A small problem here . I donÂt get the option add this launcher to panel but just "Add to Panel" assuming that was the intended option. >Then on the panel right click on the OO Writer icon, click properties A small problem here , i donÂt have any properties option so am assuming "Icon Settings" >and tell us what is in Launcher Properties. - from the panel ? The command that getÂs executed is openoffice.org -writer %U ( from the Panel ) check properties as above - from the command line ? am not sure how do i do that . > Just to make sure that you do not have any OO executable leftovers. > Please show us the output: $ ps aux |grep -i office > Writer fired up normally ( from the panel ) and i got [root@Orion ~]# ps aux |grep -i office root 3453 0.0 0.0 106204 1380 ?

Now Writer seems to be working normally . 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 wasnÂt going all that well with the rpm database . Anyway could u please remind me the command in order to see the last updates ? > JB -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
