Using the following /usr/local/alfresco/alfresco.sh file the problem is solved.

#!/bin/sh
# Start or stop Alfresco server
# Set the following to where Tomcat is installed
ALF_HOME=/usr/local/alfresco
cd "$ALF_HOME"
APPSERVER="$ALF_HOME"/tomcat
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/ 
export JAVA_OPTS="-Xms128m -Xmx512m -server"
export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -XX:CompileCommand=exclude,org/apache/lucene/index/IndexReader\$1,doBod

if [ "$1" = "start" ]; then
  "$APPSERVER"/bin/startup.sh
  if [ -r "$ALF_HOME"/start_oo.sh ]; then

After solving this error I received an image magick error. This program failed
to use the convert command.

I solved it installing image magick

apt-get install imagemagick‍

After that I received an SocketOpenOfficeConection received
which in the alfresco forums was solved using

ulimit 4096‍

Next I typed the following program

cp -r /usr/local/alfresco/tomcat/webapps/alfesco /usr/local/alfresco/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/

‍‍‍

Then I started with:

 /usr/local/alfresco.sh start‍

I removed the copied directory with:

 rm -r /usr/local/alfresco/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/‍

When I started alfresco again it was working on

 http://localhost:8080/alfresco/‍

with the HSQL database

The following link explains how to change the database from HSQL to
Mysql in Ubuntu or a debian based distro.

export: 11: -Xmx512m: bad variable name

I have tried to edit the alfresco.sh script but the error persists … any suggestions?

You should just paste the file that I posted. I solved the problem just with that.
This is explained in a french alfresco forum.

This is the feature for converting, for example, microsoft docs to pdfs automatically. It seems that on most debian based systems I tried, the answer is to launch openoffice as a service BEFORE launching tomcat/alfresco. This held true in Debian etch and Ubuntu edgy. However, it did not work on Ubuntu dapper SERVER LTS.
(and yes, I did install xvfb and launched office just fine.)
