I wonder if, destroying one by Mavericks would also destroy the ability to boot from the other partition. No, it doesn't and this is what saved me in the end. On my Mac mini I had two hard disks, and Mavericks installed itself in the end on the second one, overwriting the backup I had on it without telling me in advance (nice). After several reboots, I can now actually use a cordless mouse and my keyboard has been recognized again (why, I don't know). I can now even read the data on my old OSX installation drive, but not write to it. I see that the Mavericks installation created a folder there with disk images and other data in it, which I shall remove after saving it to external storage. At least I can now copy the contents of my old Applications folder to the new installation Applications folder. I have to say, this has been the worst OSX upgrade I've ever had the misfortune to suffer. Had I only had one disk, I would've been well and truly stuffed.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice 4.1.2 and Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)
Mavericks Apple Java WAS installed on my machine before LO was invoked, so it was not simply a matter of Java not being on the machine at the time of the invocation if Apple supplies as before 32 and 64 bit Java. How did anyone at LO argue that LO would work under Mavericks if using a JVM crashes LO? Under what circumstances will LO NOT crash if Use JVM is selected prior to upgrade? And if the devs knew that Mavericks would cause LO to crash over a week ago, why wasn't that published clearly? In my case Java was repeatedly installed after the LO problem, with no impact on LO LO blew up even if one started the product by opening a calc file; one did not have to open write and enter any keystrokes -- by blew up I mean that the app simply disappears and generates no crash or error report. It does so starting from command line or gui -- in any event my case indicates that the problem IS NOT limited to entering text It will still crash any time you access Zotero, though I now have it stable enough that I can otherwise use it so, at present, Zotero plugin will not work with LO because Zotero, no matter the java supplied to the OS, will not recognize it.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice 4.1.2 and Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)
Hi :) Actually it is probably better to just switch Java off. Chances are that you are not really using it anyway so you can avoid these sorts of issues just by switching it off Tools - Options - Advanced ? and UNtick the box at the very top that asks if you want to use the broken mess of Oracle coding that we lovingly call Java and that Homeland Security have apparently warned companies to stop using. If you really are using Java then you will just get an error message at some point in the future at which point you just re-tick the box. Not much of a problem. LibreOffice used to have quite a lot of Java in it's code but that has almost entirely been written out or converted to Python or C++ which are a LOT more stable and far less dependant on the whims of a single profit-making company. At some point Oracle will probably release a Professional or Enterprise version of Java which will fix most of the problems that Java currently has but it's not clear how much they would charge or what licensing they would use. So far they seem to have been following a good strategy for turning something from being free into making it profitable although it'/s not clear whether that was their intention or whether they really are incompetent at producing secure coding. (just my own opinion) About 6 months - 1 year ago there was a report saying that only around 12% of LibreOffice's code was still in java and most of that was in wizards that almost no-one ever uses. That 12% will probably have shrunk quite drastically. Java also sometimes gets used is when using Base with it's internal back-end (which is possibly the worst way of using Base right now). Generally start with that but then swiftly move the data tables into something like MySql (Oracle's again), MariaDB (doesn't work on Macs apparently), Postgresql or one of the tiny fast back-ends fro smaller databases. There is work going on to switch to a more recent version of a different database program for the internal back-end and that should be a huge improvement. The only other place Java gets used is a lot of the Accessibility stuff such as screen-readers. Sadly there is no way around that one :( We are hoping that a ton of coding gets pulled in from external sources to massively improve accessibility. There are people working on the accessibility stuff so if you have Java for that they might be able to help but their fixes might not be relevant for other users.
