OpenOffice Error : The user interface language cannot be determined-Linux


Stuck at this error after re-installing or upgrading OpenOffice?

OpenOffice Error : The user interface language cannot be determined-Linux

The error occurs because the folder where the necessary files are
not present are not having enough permissions. The solution
is pretty simple. Get into the user's home directory
# cd /home/username
Find the hidden folder which stores OpenOffice files. Its
usually ".openofficeversion" or ".oooversion".
# cd ~/.oooversion
Now execute the below command:
# sudo chown --reference=. -R .openoffice.org2
Now give necessary permissions to that folder:
# sudo chmod -R 755 .openoffice.org2
Try opening up OpenOffice. It should work just fine now.
