Title: [UNSOLVED] How to open an OpenOffice file through terminal
Post by: str4ng3r on July 20, 2013, 11:04:43 AM

Hi there guys.

I'm trying to build a fairly straightforward and easy to use system to be used by not very experienced users. I'm using TinyCore for that coupled with a set of productivity tools.

I'm using OpenOffice.tcz has the office suite, and i'm now trying to get double click on a file to open the correct tool.

So, i've installed Fluff as the file manager, and created a folder to hold files from the office suite. Created a test file (*.doc) in that folder, configured Fluff the best i could, but everytime i double click on the file, through Fluff, OpenOffice suite starts to load but then halts throwing an unexpected error (no number or anything, just a blank window).

If you have made this work, please tell how to do it, since i'm not having much luck searching google.

Thanks in advanced.

Thanks for your input.

However the result of that command is the same i get when double-clicking the file through Fluff.

Check 'dmesg' just after failed attempt.

Hi.

I can't see messages regarding OpenOffice.
I just typed "dmesg" on prompt, under tc user.
