I have seen this before.

Check your process table (ps -ef) for a (probably bunch of) running
javaldx processes.  Ifyou have them, what is happening is that
javaldx has found a java binary to run which requires that you accept
a EULA.  The java is trying to pop up the EULA so you can accept it,
but due to the way javaldx invokes it, the EULA pop-up never happens.  

So either you can figure out how to make the java binary pop up it's
EULA so you can accept it (and if you figure that  out please reply
to the list so I can learn) or edit the soffice script and comment
out the call to javaldx (which will probably break other things
but so far my users have been happy with this "solution").
