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

In my case today, strace's output stopped here. I could get openoffice to start again by deleting ''/tmp/OSL_PIPE_0_SingleOfficeIPC_9b9105193a7d7e1f4158c7ae32e2de''

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
