Starting ooffice2, choosing file-open menu gives - error message box "could not find mime type application/octet-stream" clicked ok - error message box "No mime types installed" clicked ok - error message box "Malformed URL file:///usr/lib/openoffice/program" - error message box "Malformed URL file:///usr2/klaas" - open file box appears (according to the task bar, the last 3 windows belong to Kdefilepicker) In the open file window, files are not listed in the normal way (there is nothing to click on). typing in the file name makes the filepicker thingy hang. If you load the file using the "ooffice2 filename" way, the file can be opened but not saved - saving gives similar problems (same error boxes about mime types), and then freezes kde. Switching to a console and killing the openoffice processes "unblocks" kde. same problem exists on my laptop. using the kde control center file association, I verified that application/octet-stream exists. Also /usr/kde/3.4/share/mimelnk/application/octet-stream.desktop exists. (~/.mime.types exists on my desktop but not on my laptop) emerge --info: --- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask: net-www/awstats-6.6 Portage 2.0.54-r2 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-3.4.5, glibc-2.3.6-r3, 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 ccache version 2.3 [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 dev-python/pycrypto: [Not Present] dev-util/ccache: 2.3 dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -ftracer -fprefetch-loop-arrays -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -ftracer -fprefetch-loop-arrays -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.gentoo.mesh-solutions.com/gentoo/ http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/gentoo-mirror/ ftp://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/gentoo-mirror/" LINGUAS="en fr de nl" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowext X acl acpi alsa apache2 apm arts audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdr cli crypt cups curl dga divx4linux dri dvd dvdr eds emacs emboss encode esd exif expat f77 fam ffmpeg fftw foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm gif gimpprint glut gmp gpg gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 guile idn imagemagick imlib ipv6 isdnlog java jpeg kde lcms libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx mmxext mng motif mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl ogg openal opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl png ppds pppd python qt quicktime readline reflection sdl session slang spel spell spl sqlite ssl svga tcltk tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev usb vorbis win32codecs xml xml2 xmms xorg xv zlib linguas_en linguas_fr linguas_de linguas_nl userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
You could try to change the interface language and see if that helps. Also: Does using the original file selector (there is a checkbox for this in Preferences > General) work fine? And does this only happen in OpenOffice.org or do you have similar problems in other KDE-applications?

As for other KDE applications: I don't use that many. Korganzer is saving my shedule without problems(that 's version 3.5.2, on the laptop) Any other KDE program I can try?

I wasn't really aware that I was using kde-integration. Must have sneaked in somewhere on its own (kde is not in my make.conf USE, but it shows up in the emerge --info use flags) I use KDE as desktop (I had to pick one, and it is standard at work). I'm upgrading to kde 3.5.1 at the moment. Maybe that will help.
(In reply to comment #4) > I'm upgrading to kde 3.5.1 at the moment. Maybe that will help. I'm running kde 3.5.2 (kdelibs 3.5.2-r6, kdebase 3.5.2-r1) now with openoffice 2.0.2, and so far all is well. Must have been a weird combination of kde bits. I had the problem on two machines, so I don't think I was imagining it :-) Both machines have kde-integration for openoffice on. Seems to be set up automagically this way. thanks for the help! Klaas
