Before to go deeply... to verify your Ubuntu is updated/upgrade with no errors or pending packages...

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal

Tip: right click with mouse on the terminal title caption and select the item "Always on Top" doing this you will force the terminal window to stay on top of the other windows and you will find very easy to copy single row from this web page into the terminal...
Something more about using the terminal https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal

Then type or better copy and paste a row a time then press enter:
(Tip: select the single row to copy then right click into the terminal and to quick paste click with middle button of mouse )

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get --fix-missing install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get update

Then reboot your pc type:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop gnome-session

sudo reboot

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Hope this helps

You are not alone to have problem with OpenOffice after Ubuntu 10.4 update.
You should google the problem (start with a search inside Launchpad).

Can you help with this problem?
