Tried a reinstall and the error, during install was javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment! which followed each of the dictionary installs (although spell checking works) I have removed 3.5 totally, including config files. Removed 3.4 (left config) reinstalled 3.5 - still not finding java reinstalled 3.4 installs without problem tried an install of 3.5 on a VM running Linux mint 11 (32bit) with 3.4 installed. Installed without problem. Confirm with 3.5.1.1 RC1 on Win7-64 (3.5.0 update) LO is looking for the wrong path to the location of Java64 at ./user/Program Files(x86)/Java instead of user/Program Files/Java where the 32bit version sits. Have to choose subfolder ./Java/jre6 on [Add], otherwise error: This folder does not contain a Java Runtime Environment. Possible enhancement: Clicking [Add] should not open dir-tree at "My Documents" but rather collapsed or focus at Program Files/Java to ease the choice and identify potential subfolders of /Java. Just fixed this. I don't recall being given a choice when I first downloaded LO3.5 but I got the i386 version. Today I downloaded again and got the 64bit version (defaulted to that, no offer of i386). After removing the old and installing the new all is now working as it should. |
Problem description: on installing LO3.5 on 64bit Kubuntu 11.10 I noticed an error, something to the effect that no jre was found. After installation completed I looked in Tools>Options>Java and no jre was shown. I chose to add one and selected /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre only to be told "the folder you selected does not contain a java runtime environment." (Same with java-1.6.0-openjdk/jre and default-java/jre) I then reinstalled LO3.4 (which I had removed prior to installing 3.5)and checked to see where it had found a jre - it was the path used above ie /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre. I read somewhere that LO3.5 works with java 7 so installed openjdk 7 and tried /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre (and java-7-openjdk-common/jre) neither of which worked either Current behavior: LO3.5 tells me I have no jre Expected behavior: that LO3.5 would use the same jre as LO3.4 does Platform (if different from the browser): Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu/11.10 Chromium/16.0.912.77 Chrome/16.0.912.77 Safari/535.7
