Fail to load Openoffice

After using Ubuntu for few weeks. Suddenly I encountered that Openoffice can’t load. After google, found a way to check error of fail load by execute below comman through terminal

$ oowriter

Oops, there is backtrace load till below error occur:

** (process:6921): WARNING **: Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early exit …

A lot comment found to say problem regarding ATI video card, SCIM and Openoffice. Many guide such as reinstall Openoffice can solved problem. Some said this is not the problem with ATI video card and the simple way to solve is edit below file

/etc/openoffice/soffice.sh

Which just change:

OPENGL_SUPPORT=yes

to

OPENGL_SUPPORT=auto

A very simple and easy way of fixing.

Please refer bugs.launchpad.net for this.
