If you would have /read/ what it said, you would have seen that it was *openJDK* version 1.6.0_23 (which of course is the Sun/Oracle package) - bottom of the Java options panel: Location:/usr/lib/jvm/java6-openjdk/jre
Note: You might want to install the full LO as the initial install misses quite a few components (same as the (U)OOo did: $ sudo apt-get install libreoffice That will pull in additional packages such as libhsqldb-java, libreoffice-java-common etc. Regarding sun-java6-jre: it's not included due to Oracle's recent licensing changes. See:<http://sylvestre.ledru.info/blog/sylvestre/2011/08/26/sun_java6_packages_removed_from_debian_u> and http://robilad.livejournal.com/90792.html So any further bug reports regarding Ubuntu/linux from 11.10 onward will have to deal with openJDK instead as I doubt that Ubuntu will accept any further bug reports regarding sun-java6. You can file a bug report against openjdk here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/+bugs and libreoffice (with ref to openjdk) here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffic if something is broken in your distro version. The Ubuntu LO maintainers can then 'upstream' the bugs if necessary. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
