Star Office

I have installed Star Office 8 on a Solaris 10 server. No issues during install, but when I try to start the program, it tries to open - then nothing happens. Can anyone tell me what is going on or what to look for?Thank you.

Please can you both provide more information, are you installing as root or just as a standard user? Where are you installing to and from what media. What exact version of OpenOffice / StarOffice are you using?

If you are on SO - is it the trial version or a full version, if so have you looked at your support contract if needs be?

softimagehost :

I will be honest, I do not know anything about simplified CN fonts so I will not be able to answer that side of things - (can anyone else help here?)

As for the javaldx, I have looked at the known issues list this seems like an occurance of an old bug, at what stage do you get the issue - is it when you are installing or when you are trying to run the application.

Either way, please check you are running the latest version of Java in the first instance.

Thanks

Im not sure the best way to update your java - I would download and use the recommended installation method, have a look at:

http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Choose the correct version of Java for the machine you are installing it on, then have a look at the installation instructions at:

http://java.com/en/download/help/5000010600.xml

Give this a shot first and verify that it is working - then you may need to re-install Ooo and this is a good point to start from.

Cheers
