OpenOffice Transforms/Document Previews Fail

[jpnoehre]

I've been having this issue for 5 months now and have yet to figure out how to fix it.

Document Previews don't work because the OpenOffice transformations fail.

Ubuntu 9.04, Community 3.2, OOo 3

The Tomcat log shows the following:

And the most incredible thing just happened: the transformations just started working. Don't ask me what I did to fix it, because I don't know.

I had exactly the same problem.
First of all I figured out that open office was started automatically by alfresco. Before I had a script starting open office headless. This means there were two openoffice daemons started.
Then I reinstalled openoffice by doing a:

sudo apt-get install openoffice.org‍

Now it seems to work fine.
