Problem starting OpenOffice with KDE [Solved]

I just did a clean Arch install witk KDE desktop. After I installed OpenOffice with

pacman -Sy openoffice-base

when I try to start openoffice I get the following error message

"The application cannot be started. An internal error occurred."

I tried to reinstall OpenOffice but that didn't help.

Any ideas whats going wrong? OpenOffice worked fine with Gnome before I did a clean install.

delete your ~/.openoffice.org2 or something like that , this problem is caused as some files on the install or somewhere else got assigned root permissions so that is the problem. i deleted the folder and everything recreated ok.

hope it helps

I have the same problem, but deleting ~/.openoffice.org2 haven't solved the problem, so I looked up this forum for other solutions and nothing helped.

From other topic: That's not a java problem, I think.

Any ideas?

Try starting OpenOffice from the command line to see what error it gives when it fails.
Then post the output here.

Re: Problem starting OpenOffice with KDE [Solved]

I have the same problem here.

I tryed deleting .openoffice2
or chown -R openoffice2

without success.

When I start with the command line, I don't get any errors but the console hang (I can't quit with ^C).

EDIT: I use xfce4. When I tried with kde and oooqs it worked. So I switched back to xfce, but it still stop without error (but the spash screen hang later from the first tries).
So basically, it don't seems to work with xfce...
