[Bug 222803] Re: Java broken in openoffice hardy upgrades
Just had the same problem in Intrepid (incrementally upgraded regularly since Edgy), Tools-Options-Java showed an empty box (although it might be I didn't wait long enough - apparently it takes a few seconds to show entries) So I tried: sudo dpkg --reconfigure openoffice.org-java-common Same error message on startup. This time, after a few seconds, Tools-Options-Java showed two entries, but none of them was selected. I selected Sun Java6, restarted, and the problem was gone. openoffice.org 1:2.4.1-11ubuntu2.1 sun-java6-jre 6-10-0ubuntu2 sun-java5-jre 1.5.0-16-3 java-gcj-compat-headless 1.0.78-2 -- Java broken in openoffice hardy upgrades https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222803 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

To sum up for a fresh 8.04.1 install: After fresh 8.04.1 install, installed ubuntu-restricted-extras which among others installed packages java-common, sun-jave6-bin, sun-java6-jre, sun-java6-plugin. Upon checking, OpenOffice has no JRE installed (Tools-options-Java), even though the box is ticked. After installing openoffice.org-java-common, then restarting OpenOffice, OpenOffice now has JRE. I think for fresh installs, the package openoffice.org-java-common should be added among the packages in ubuntu-restricted-extras. -- Java broken in openoffice hardy upgrades https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222803 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 222803] Re: Java broken in openoffice hardy upgrades
This just bit me. I have upgraded to hardy (via gutsy etc.) an install that was originally a Dapper Drake. I have the openoffice-java-common installed, and it is up-to-date (as are all my openoffice and Sun JRE packages). I had to delete this file to make it work. In fact, although I could select between two different JRE versions (Sun and OpenJRE) neither worked until I deleted the file. -- Java broken in openoffice hardy upgrades https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222803 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Well it doesn't automatically switch the java jre but it allows you to pick and will properly save the change now. If you go to Tools-Options-OpenOffice.org-Java and select the JRE you want to use then press 'OK' it will update the file. In the past even doing this would not update the file. ** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu Hardy) Assignee: (unassigned) = Chris Cheney (ccheney) Status: New = Fix Committed -- Java broken in openoffice hardy upgrades https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222803 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 222803] Re: Java broken in openoffice hardy upgrades
Hello I can't tell if I hit an upgrade bug, since it is the first time I use the wizards, anyway here we go. When I tried to use the Fax wizard, I got a warning dialog. The dialog recommended to configure a JRE in the settings, and to install openoffice.org-java-common. The package was already in place. Configured OO to use the JRE 1.6 I had already installed. No way. I removed JRE 1.6, installed JRE 1.5 and reconfigured OO to use it: no way. Starting OO from the command line returned a javaldx failed error, and nothing more. I reinstalled openoffice.org-java-common: no way I installed both JRE 1.6 and 1.5 and configured it to use 1.6: no way. At that point I tried again to run from the command line. After trying to use the fax wizard I got this error: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ oowriter javaldx failed! [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ [Java framework]sunjavaplugin.so could not load Java runtime library: file:///usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so.

So, either the wrong path is hardcoded somewhere, or a setting is not being updated. I hope this helps.

[Bug 222803] Re: Java broken in openoffice hardy upgrades
Just hit this issue as a result of a repo update yesterday / day before, (5/28, 5/29). The OO update notification was triggering a Partial Upgrade, but if you tried to perform, it would just err out. Packages other than OO could be updated around the issue without problem. Tried the openoffice.org-java-common install from Aleksander's forum point before having to manually delete the file, and worked for me. My original install on this laptop, I believe, was Hardy beta 5, so whatever the issue is wrt the .xml file not updating, apparently it existed from as recently as that, and there's a decent chance that that recent repo update will be causing problems for those of us who upgraded from betas, rather than doing a fresh install of 8.04 final. -- Java broken in openoffice hardy upgrades https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222803 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 222803] Re: Java broken in openoffice hardy upgrades
I can confirm this problem. I reinstalled Hardy from scratch, but kept my home-partition with settings from gutsy. When trying to start any java-based function i got the message as printed by AleksanderAdomowski. In the java-settings windows none of the JRE-environments where selected. Selecting one of them did not change anything. After closing and reopening the settings window, the setting was just as before (no JRE selected). Deleting javasettings_Linux_x86.xml fixed the problem. -- Java broken in openoffice hardy upgrades https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222803 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

For completeness, here's the error message text that is presented when the user tries to run any Java-based add-on while the path to JRE is stale: OpenOffice.org requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this task. The selected JRE is defective. Please select another version or install a new JRE and select it under Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org - Java.

Also, during OpenOffice startup there's a single error message on standard output (or standard error - I didn't check that) when the path in $HOME/.openoffice.org2/user/config/javasettings_Linux_x86.xml is wrong: javaldx failed! After removing $HOME/.openoffice.org2/user/config/javasettings_Linux_x86.xml all the problems go away and the file gets recreated with new path to JRE on next OpenOffice startup. -- Java broken in openoffice hardy upgrades https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222803 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Related forum thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=678751page=3 They advise installing openoffice.org-java-common over there, and that fixed the problem for those guys.
