After I shut down openoffice download my computer and restarted, I now receive the following error message: "The application cannot be started. A general error occurred while accessing your open office central configuration."I have tried uninstalling and downloading and re-installing, but I still get the same error message.Any ideas what is going on?************I uninstalled using Add-Remove programs as before, but this time I manually deleted all file folders in /Application Data and /Program files named OOo-dev. 3.3.0 Beta now installed properly.

Did you uninstall the previous version first?

But it's hard to test if it won't open! I liked what I saw before this error message started.No, I didn't uninstall the previous version, which was 3.2, because I still need to use it in case 3.3 doesn't work. Is there some way to continue to use 3.2 while testing 3.3?Thanks.

It should still work normally while 3.3 Beta is installed. As far as I know, installing Beta versions doesn't change any file associations (OOo 3.3 Beta doesn't even show up in the Programs list in "Set your default programs" in Vista). Double-clicking an ODF file should still open the file in 3.2 instead of 3.3 Beta. Bill Posts: 5740Joined: Sat Nov 24, 2007 6:48 am Top Re: A general error occurred while ac

Description brianfristensky 2011-07-03 22:16:00 UTC Summary: When trying to start any OO component (oowriter, ooimpress, oocalc etc.) a message pops up OpenOffice.org3.3 - Fatal Error The application cannot be started. A general error occurred while accessing your central configuration. This is the only symptom. https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=118239 When trying to launch the application from the Linux command line, no messages of any kind are seen, aside from the popup. System: Fedora 14 x86_64, updated using yum update. RPMs include the version information 1:3.3.0-20.6.fc14 (x86_64) Additional comments: 1. This problem has been widely reported on various news groups, for both Windows and Linux. It appears to be an ongoing problem both in OO3.3, AND in LibreOffice 3.3 and 3.4. See bug 33475 at bugs.freedesktop.org. In fact, when OO3.3 stopped working, I installed LibreOffice 3.4 (stable), and got precisely the same error message. Neither OO no LO works on my account, at present. 2. On Linux, removing, respectively, ~/.openoffice.org or ~/.libreoffice does no good. New directories of the same names get created, and the same error message pops up. 3. This bug happens on an account by account basis. That is, it happens to each user on the system, independently, after one or more uses of OO or LO. An important point here is that once either program is broken, both are broken. If I create a new user account, the first time I try to use OO or LO, the program works. After one or more launches, suddenly both no longer work at all. 4. This is an old and widespread bug.

upgraded to F15. LibreOffice 3.3--Fatal Error. The application cannot be started. A general error occurred while accessing your central configuration. I've tried removing my ~/.libreoffice and ~/.openoffice.org directories, and then uninstalling and installing libreoffice via yum, but I can't seem solve this problem. sudo libreoffice runs fine, so it would seem to be a permissions issue. Searching on the web suggests this is an open bug, or people have uninstalled old openoffice modules to get it working. However, I would think my uninstallation and reinstallation would have fixed that. Any thoughts? SteveGYBE5th February 2012, 10:41 PMIf you upgraded to Fedora 15, do you still have some OpenOffice.org packages installed that may be conflicting with your LibreOffice installation? Tryrpm -qa openoffice*If any packages remain, erase those too and try reinstalling LibreOffice. icthy5th February 2012, 11:07 PMNice idea. There was some relect openoffice stuff in there, but removing that, and then removing Libreoffice and reinstalling still didn't work unfortunately. eldieguisimo27th April 2012, 05:57 PMHas anybody found a solution to this? I'v tried removing all possible offending directories (~/.libreoffice, etc) and uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing seems to work. I still get the following as a regular user: "The application cannot be started. A general error occurred while accessing your central configuration." But it works when I start it as root. I'm running kernel 3.3.2-6.fc16.x86_64, and libreoffice 3.4.5.2-12 (the latest with yum from updates repo). vBulletin v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2016, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
