Description Callegar 2020-05-31 10:21:48 UTC 
Description:
If you start LibO as 

libreoffice someimage.svg

without asking for a specific LibO component like draw or impress, then LibO decides that the best component for the svg image is impress. I think that it should be draw.

I'm not a linux expert, but I cannot reproduce this.

I did it that way
1. Start Ubuntu
2. Open terminal in folder that contains the svg file
3. command: libreoffice Test.svg

Result:

javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment!
Please ensure that a JVM and the package libreoffice-java-common
is installed.
If it is already installed then try removing ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/config/javasettings_Linux_*.xml
Warning: failed to read path from javaldx

Then Draw starts and show the Test.SVG

Comment 2 Mike 2020-05-31 12:36:06 UTC 
The reason for the "Warning: failed to read path from javaldx" seems to be that Ubuntu 20.04 LTS does not install Jave with the default settings, but in LO Settings the option "Use a Java runtime enviroment" is still enabled.
Disabled it and the terminal only just says "javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment!"

I meant with confusing "Ubuntu 20.04 LTS does not install Jave with the default settings" that Ubuntu with its default settings does not install JRE at all.

Comment 5 Callegar 2020-09-26 00:09:24 UTC 
Cannot reproduce anymore. Maybe due to some issue on my system/profile. Sorry for the noise, closing for now.
