Unable to run LibreOffice from a normal account on Fedora13

Libreoffice is running fine if I use root account, but if I try to run it
from a normal user account, I am getting the following message

Fatal Error
The application cannot be started.

Couldn't find any solution. So time to move back to Oracle OpenOffice.org

Hi, :slight_smile:

Just a couple of ideas that occurred to me:

1) Did you install the software as root? Did you try installing from
the user account via sudo, or installing from your package manager
(after authenticating)?

2) Did you check the permissions and ownership of the files?

HTH.

Thanks for the reply :-). Installed it the same way as I used to install
OpenOffice.org. Using rpm -ivh *.rpm in RPMS directory as root.

Hi, :slight_smile:

Mmmmm... Sorry, I can only suggest filing a bug and see if that brings
you any answers then :frowning: There may possibly still be some teething
problems with the available packages...

Check that all dependencies are installed -- dependencies from LibO's
viewpoint, not the RPM package manager's.

On Ubuntu I had LibO seemingly installed OK via Synaptic but it would
not work until I installed another package that I'd overlooked...
Maybe you're in a similar case?

Shouldn't be a missing dependency issue as it is working fine if I use the
root account. Some other problem, but don't have any clue. Permissions for
those shared libraries mentioned are set to r-x for all.

Hi, :slight_smile:

In any case, the beta 2 is out... best try again with that?

Maybe try an installation from the .tar.gz instead of the RPM (in case
it's a packaging problem)?

I just installed LibO beta2 and found that I had to remove the LibO beta1 rpms and the LibO uno rpm. After this the installation worked without any problems.

I have left the routine that I follow on another thread on this list. You may want to look at it. Note that it's for a 64bit install. Not sure if that make any difference, but it should not.

Thanks David and Marc for the replies. Will revert back after trying beta2.

#13

I cannot replicate using the .deb files for both LibO beta1 and beta2. I
installed LibO (tested on both beta1 and beta2) and logged out & logged
in as another user. Brought up LibO as the other user w/o issue. Which
LibO version are you running?

FYI: my .deb install was to cd to the DEB folder and then:

$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

I realise that my system is different from yours, (deb vs rpm) but
thought I'd add that in for reference.

#14

SOLVED.
Thanks David, Marc and NoOp. Beta 2 working fine. The only problem left is
that I can't start it from the Applications Menu. It says

#15

Now able to start LibreOffice using gnome applications menu. Edited .desktop
files for LibreOffice in /usr/share/applications director (changed
Exec=libreoffice to Exec=libreoffice3)
