xubuntu 18.04.1 32-bit (4.15.0-42-generic #45-Ubuntu)

My experience was rather different.  LibreOffice would always crash at a
point about 35% through the splash screen, so I couldn't use the UI to
disable the use of Java.

I checked with sysctl -a and also by dumping all strings in the kernel,
and "stack_guard_gap" isn't a valid kernel parameter.

If I edited the LibreOffice config file "javasettings_Linux_x86.xml"

to look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--This is a generated file. Do not alter this file!-->
<java xmlns="http://openoffice.org/2004/java/framework/1.0"; 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
<enabled xsi:nil="false"/>
<userClassPath xsi:nil="true"/>
<vmParameters xsi:nil="true"/>
<jreLocations xsi:nil="true"/>
<javaInfo xsi:nil="true"/>
</java>

LibreOffice 6.0.6.2 00m0(Build:2) would find the java virtual machine,
update the config file, and then crash as before.

The (partial) solution was to rename /usr/bin/java and /usr/lib/jvm/ AND
code the javasettings file as above.  With these steps taken I can at
least edit documents in --writer and spreadsheets with --calc.  Creating
a native database requires Java, so that doesn't work, but I was able to
attach to a spreadsheet and treat it like a database.  Not sure about
Access/Jet or SqLite databases yet.

Of course, anything else that requires Java is now broken.  Java version
is

OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 10.0.2+13-Ubuntu-1ubuntu0.18.04.4)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 10.0.2+13-Ubuntu-1ubuntu0.18.04.4, mixed mode)

I tried creating a "Hello World" Java program and it worked as expected.

Hmmm... "Mixed Mode?"  Also, this version of was intended for Ubuntu
18.04.**4**, whereas I have 18.04.**1**.
