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**. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1699772 Title: linux-image-4.13.0-12-generic, linux-image-4.10.0-24-generic, linux- image-4.8.0-56-generic, linux-image-4.4.0-81-generic, linux- image-3.13.0-121-generic | Regression: many user-space apps crashing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/1699772/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
