I am using playdayz Go Open Office 3.2.1 and it seems to be working fine.
I'll attach a full hardinfo report to see if anyone can spot any clues, but basically I am running an AMD X2 proccessor with an nforce chipset.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Oh yes, I compiled the very latest nvidia driver too, the one at the repo didn't work for me and was not recommended in the wizard.

See this post for the driver.

Cheers

I have done some more testing of the OpenOffice crash. Although OO crashes Wary on a clean install it does not crash on an upgrade using warysave.2fs from Wary 070.

So it might be something to do with the way it creates (or not) its .config file. Will grab a .config from a working install and try it.

It is now gone for puppies that are built from PET packages, which is Wary and Puppy 4.x (and earlier). PETs are usually already stripped to the basics, whereas packages from Debian and Ubuntu etc. usually have lots of fat that can be trimmed.

In Wary, you will in the 'puppy-wary5' repo that there are lots of _DOC, _NLS and _DEV PET packages, which are the already-separated components of the original packages.

Both OpenOffice and LibreOffice crash on my system. Video card is ATI Radeon 3450.

Starting from a terminal, output is:

domainname: applet not found.

Have googled around for this but haven't found much. Sounds like a java problem though.

Yet they both run fine with the'30 kernel......

That error is not the problem. I get it but OO continues to load successfully using my warysave.2fs from Wary 070.

I think you may be close to the answer with Java. I had Java unchecked in my 070 warysave file so perhaps on upgrade OO did not look for it and therefore did not cause a crash.

I was about to try that having convinced myself that the lack of Java in 092 was the cause of the problem. Expletive!

I don't think it is a kernel issue if I can run OO with an old warysave. I'll try to figure out what I have in it that makes the difference. Library or library version maybe?

Yep, same here. Tried it with Java jre1.6.0_22. Definitely installed correctly for system-wide access using /etc/profile.

Also, I've been rummaging around in /initrd and finding all sorts of spurious .wh files and folders. Remember these critters from the past? They cause all sorts of problems.

Barry has been seeing problems with the layered file system recently and these "whiteout files" are perhaps connected with this.

But the likeliest source of the problem is the k2.6.34.6 kernel.
Maybe a kernel compile option is the way to go here.

More googling required.

DaveS and Tronkel: This is weird.

I just added java-jre-6u20.pet, restarted Xserver and OO no longer crashes! Can you try a reboot?

More thoughts on OO crashing.

As far as I remember, the 2.6.34 kernel version was the first to include built-in proprietary modules for both ATI and NVIDIA cards. Or did that actually start with 2.6.33? Anyway, I remember having serious video problems with a version of real Ubuntu Lucid using the 2.6.33 kernel. This problem then finally went away with k2.6.35. This might mean that the 2.6.34 kernel has a fundamental problem with these two included proprietary video modules.

So what's the best solution for Wary? k2.6.35 might be too new for older hardware. So how about going back to k2.6.32 for Wary 5. This seems to work well in Lucid for example, which shows no problem with Open/Libre/Office

Quirky works very well including OpenOffice with the '33 kernel.
