[SOLVED] libreoffice don't detect JRE (Java Runtime Enviroment)

ariel58 · 12-09-2022, 11:49 AM

Hi,
I can't run libreoffice base because libreoffice doesn't detect JRE.

Could someone help?

OS: Slackware 15.0 (Salix Xfce 15.0 x86_64)

LibreOffice:
Version: 7.4.0.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 40(Build:2)
CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: es-AR (es_ES.utf8); UI: es-ES
Calc: threaded

Code:

ariel[~]$ java -version
openjdk version "17.0.3" 2022-04-19
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 17.0.3+7)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.3+7, mixed mode, sharing)

Code:

ariel[~]$ type $PATH
bash: type: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib64/libexec/kf5:/usr/lib64/java/jre/bin:/usr/lib64/qt5/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/lib64/zulu-openjdk11/bin:/usr/lib64/zulu-openjdk8/bin:/usr/lib64/zulu-openjdk8/jre/bin: no encontrado

Have you tried Alienbob's packages?

Check the java options in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Advanced.

"Use a Java runtime environment" must be checked and your JRE should appear in the list of installed JRE.

I couldn't check "Use a Java runtime environment", it was disabled.

Thank's

Hi cwizardone,

Your answer helped me a lot.

1) I have removed:
* openjre, openjdk 17.0.3, and all about java.
* libreoffice 7.4.0.2

2) I have added https://us.slackware.nl/people/alien/slackbuilds/ as source in Gslapt.

3) I installed with Gslapt:
* openjdk11 version 11.0.17_8-x86_64-1alien
* libreoffice version 7.4.3-x86_64-1alien

Now appears AlienBOB Slackware 11.0.17 as a JRE (Java Runtime Enviroment) installed and the ckeck box "Use a Java runtime environment" is enabled to be cheked.

Ok. My problem is solved.

Tanks to all.

Oops !

I took too long to put together my post

Glad it's working for you, ariel58

tl;dr

Do you have a JAVA_HOME Env Variable ?

I run AlienBob's openjdk here ...

This is mine:

Code:

env |grep -i java

This is the output:

Code:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib64/java                                                   # the JAVA_HOME ENV Varb is REQUIRED to use java
MANPATH=/usr/local/share/man:/usr/local/share/man::/usr/lib64/java/man:/usr/lib64/node_modules/npm/man:/usr/lib64/java/man:/usr/lib64/node_modules/npm/man
PATH=/home/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib64/libexec/kf5:/usr/lib64/java/bin:/usr/lib64/qt5/bin:/home/konrad/bin

There should be a file in /etc/profile.d that sets JAVA_HOME when your log in.

This is mine:

Code:

grep -Hi JAVA_HOME /etc/profile.d/*

This is the output:

Code:

/etc/profile.d/openjdk11.csh:setenv JAVA_HOME /usr/lib64/java               # this is for csh logins
/etc/profile.d/openjdk11.csh:setenv MANPATH ${MANPATH}:${JAVA_HOME}/man
/etc/profile.d/openjdk11.csh:setenv PATH ${PATH}:${JAVA_HOME}/bin
/etc/profile.d/openjdk11.sh:export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib64/java                # this is for non-csh logins
/etc/profile.d/openjdk11.sh:export MANPATH="${MANPATH}:${JAVA_HOME}/man"
/etc/profile.d/openjdk11.sh:export PATH="${PATH}:${JAVA_HOME}/bin"

I run bash ( not csh ) so is /etc/profile.d/openjdk11.sh executable ?

This is mine:

Code:

ls -lad $(grep -l JAVA_HOME /etc/profile.d/*)

This is the output:

Code:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 124 Nov 28 12:58 /etc/profile.d/openjdk11.csh*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 127 Nov 28 12:58 /etc/profile.d/openjdk11.sh*        # yep, the x-bits are set ...

If you run Oracle Java, you may-or-may not have the /etc/profile.d files, depending on how the jre / jdk was installed.

If there are no /etc/profile.d files then that's the place to start.

And, like cwizardone said, AlienBob's Packages ( openjdk and libreoffice ) 'just work' for me.
