screenshot of blank unresponsive Base and JRE Required
This sounds like bug 72397 but that claims to be VERIFIED FIXED, so... ??
I wanted to create an address book database. So from Windows 10 start menu I
started LibreOffice Base. LibreOffice Document Recovery warned that it found a
.odt file and offered to recover it. I chose [Start] to allow this, so now I
have a LibreOffice Writer document open.
Again I started Base. (Now I'm remembering what appeared as best I can.) A
Database Wizard appeared.I left the default Create a new database, the only
choice was HSQLDB Embedded, then Next>> and chose Yes, register the database
for me, and checked Open the database for Editing and Create tables using the
table wizard. Then [Finish] and It prompted me to save the file, I did so as
TestAddressBook.
Then a blank window titled "TestAddressBook.odb - LibreOffice Base" appeared,
and immediately an alert title "JRE Required" on top of that. I'm 90% sure I
don't have any Java runtime installed. No content in either window. I closed
the "JRE Required" with the Windows [X] icon, but then it reappeared, this time
showing "(not responding)". The LibreOffice Writer window is also unresponsive.
The cursor in any of these windows is a a blue circle (a non-animating busy
icon?).
I tried right-clicking the LibreOffice Base icon in the Windows task bar and
choose "Close All Windows", and nothing happened. I just tried it again and now
Microsoft prompts "LibreOffice is not responding".
In Task Manager I have three "Apps" running under LibreOffice (32 bit) (3): JRE
Required, TestAddressBook.odb - LibreOffice Base (Not Responding), and
[restored file].odt - LibreOffice Writer (Not Responding). Under Background
processes I have three LibreOffice (32 bit) processes , and two LibreOffice
Base (32 bit) processes. None using any CPU. I attach a screenshot showing the
Base window and alert (the .odt was on my other screen).
At times Windows warned that the application wasn't responding, asking if I
should close it or wait, I always chose wait. Interestingly after taking the
screenshot I again right-clicked the LibreOffice Base icon in the Windows task
bar and choose "Close All Windows", and all three windows and both taskbar
icons went away.
I just repeated all the steps above (this time creating TestBaseHang.odb) and
again the blank Base window and JRE Required windows appeared together with the
recovered .odt file. This time I was not able to click [X] to dismiss the JRE
Required window and I don't see the blue circle cursor (just a pointer), but
all three windows are similarly unresponsive.
Maybe the table wizard requires JRE?
