To the WLUG, Howdy! Here's my first question. (BTW I am a novice Linux/ubuntu user -- dual boot and work with Windows networks) I am a Domain Admin trying to access Windows shares ( I have full access). That works fine. I've been using OpenOffice to open Microsoft documents, edit them, and save changes. This has worked fine for 2 weeks. Now, when I try to open these documents, the OpenOffice program starts launching, but never opens the document (or OpenOffice itself). This just started happening today, so it seems like a freak occurence. Some help would be great. Hohua (aka Josh) tech(a)iblp.org.nz

Hi Josh, are you able to launch OO.o from the terminal, so as to see the output it gives? This is usually fairly helpful with troubleshooting applications which hang or otherwise have problems on startup, but without yielding error messages. On Tue, 2006-06-06 at 21:05 +1200, Joshua M.
