TroubleShooting
openoffice does not start
It happens frequently that openoffice just does not start. You do not see the start screen, just nothing seems to happen. To find out more about the problem, open a console and strace the program like this:
strace -ff soffice
[pid 1612] socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 3
[pid 1612] fcntl(3, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
[pid 1612] connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/tmp/OSL_PIPE_0_SingleOfficeIPC_9b9105193a7d7e1f4158c7ae32e2de"}, 110
In my case today, strace's output stopped here. I could get openoffice to start again by deleting /tmp/OSL_PIPE_0_SingleOfficeIPC_9b9105193a7d7e1f4158c7ae32e2de
