Re: [libreoffice-users] Permissions issue with Libreoffice3.5 on Fedora 16?

(Top posting because my response is general -- signature at end)

I use Ubuntu rather than Fedora but your problem sounds to me like an issue 
with permissions to access some file since things work with sudo and not 
without sudo. I would search the computer for "RANDR" for starters. I don't 
know where to look for installed extensions used by LO. Maybe someone else can 
chime in with a useful remark or two.
