[ubuntu-uk] java issues with Ooo Base

2011-03-16 Thread Sarah Chard
Hi
I run a database using Open Office Base in Ubuntu 10.04 (i also run it
on my laptop with 10.10 and have the same problem) - the database has
become increasingly slow (i had the same problem with libre office which
i want to switch to in the long term) research tells me that it's an
issue with Ubuntu   java  and all the forums suggest reverting to
sun-java version 1.6.0.22 (i am running version  24) 
Is it possible to add in the .22 version and then just choose it to use
within base? or do you need to completley remove version.24
I tried this - by removing the .24 packages in synaptic and installing
the .22 version from a deb package - the bin installed fine but the jre
said it was  version 24 and was broken
what's the best way to do this as my database is running very slowly -
its still usable but very frustrating
thanks for any advice 
Sarah

You can, but it's easier to set it system wide..

Al
thanks for the suggestion
I already looked at this -  my problem is I cannot revert to the .22
version without removing the .24 version and then getting the broken
package problem (i have tried twice)
if I run
 sudo update-java-alternatives -l
I get 
java-6-openjdk 1061 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk
java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

I know I have the sun .24 version installed at present as if I try to
mend the package after removing .24 and then installing .22 (which is
the point I get a broken package)it just updates them to .24
