Description dbpatankar 2009-03-06 13:35:58 UTC 
Except 'Base' and 'Math' Apps.
When I try to open any other application, application do not start.
When I try to open 'Writer' it repeatedly gives 'Document Recovery' window.

After applying a bug fix (openoffice.org-ure-1:3.0.1-15.2.fc10 (i386)
application do not even give 'Document recovery' window.
All apps including 'Base' and 'Math' fail to open.

You don't use vanilla OOo. Please refer to Fedora with your problem.
Comment 2 caolanm 2009-03-06 14:04:07 UTC 
Of course the assumption here is that vanilla OOo would work, and that this is a
fedora specific problem. Undoubtedly that is not quite true. My own guess is
that there was probably a crash and a now impossible to recover document, or
broken configuration, causing a failure to restart OOo.

Try this...

mv .openoffice.org backup-config

and try and run office now

Does that work ?
Comment 3 Olaf Felka 2009-03-06 14:08:24 UTC 
Applying 'openoffice.org-ure' as bug fix but not the rest of the packages might
also cause this.
Comment 4 caolanm 2009-03-07 14:30:18 UTC 
From https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=489079 which I believe is the
same bug, I reckon the problem has been in mixing "vanilla" OOo with "fedora"
OOo-ure. i.e. installing vanilla OOo and then getting the "upgrade available"
message because they share a similar rpm name for the "ure" component.

Solutions are described at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=489079

a mix of conflicting rpms with the same name
