Description Bastián Díaz 2013-02-28 03:07:53 UTC 
I introduce this bug report because it affects the version recommended by the wiki to use LibreOffice "Impress remote control". (LibreOffice 4.0.1 RC1 (2013-02-22))

Trying to start LibreOffice from the GUI does not start this. When you try through the terminal, it returns the following message:"Warning: failed to read path from javaldx no suitable windowing system found, exiting"

Tested on:
Fedora 18 32-bit 
Gnome 3.6.2
LibreOffice 4.0.1.1

The package was downloaded from the website of pre-releases (RPMs) and installed such integration.

Thanks

Does...

yum -y install libpng12

make it work ?

If so, its a duplicate of bug 61571

If it works. For a formatting error in the previous message was confusing to understand the error that I got. The error message was:

Warning: failed to read path from javaldx
suitable no windowing system found, exiting

The first error was resolved by deleting the LO configuration in the folder ".config". The second error has been resolved with the advice you gave me.

As the cause of the first error is just carelessness, would be considered a duplicate bug report 61571

thank you very much

"Warning: failed to read path from javaldx" is generally a harmless warning that merely indicates that some data LO had cached about which JRE to use had become stale, and would typically self-heal, latest when you do something in LO that actually requires Java.
