Re: [ubuntu-uk] JRE in Open Office
2008/4/30 Dianne Reuby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > That's cured it - thanks :) > Excellent, I'm considering writing up a bug report for it if one doesn't exist. It's not a trivial solution if you don't know about it and it's quite hard to search for due to Java and OpenOffice pulling up around 2000+ other articles. Also the Ubuntu OpenOffice 1.4 still has "Tools -> Packages Manager.." rather than "Extension Manager.." anyone else noted anything else odd with the Ubuntu OpenOffice setup?

I'm guessing (for whatever reason) the file is locked and it refuses to change it. Just in case I'm wrong, please create a back up of that config file (or rename it) before attempting this.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] JRE in Open Office
I've tried that, problem is it doesn't "stick" - when I close the Options, and reload, I still get the message, and the options shows JRE as unselected again.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] JRE in Open Office
I had the same error message today after upgrading. To solve it, from within OpenOffice Writer (Possibly the others as well), I went to Tools -> Options -> Java After a few seconds, a screen with Sun Microsystems Inc.1.6.0_06 and Sun Microsystems Inc 1.6.0 with accessibility comes up. I ticked the box for version 1.6.0_06, restarted OpenOffice Writer and the error message went away.

[ubuntu-uk] JRE in Open Office
Updated to Hardy yesterday. I'm getting JRE errors in Open Office, "OpenOffice.org requires a Java runtime enviornment (JRE) to perform the task. The selected JRE is defective. Please select another version" I already have openoffice.org-java-common installed, version 1:2.4 in usr/lib/openoffice (which is the solution given in the forums). OO options shows Sun Java 1.6.0_06 , in usr/lib/jvm So which should I be using? I remember when I first switched to Ubuntu, I was using Dapper, and had to uninstall the Ubuntu JRE and install the Sun JRE. Do I need to do this again? One day I'll understand it all TIA Dianne -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
