I've run into the same problem. The package openoffice.org-java-common was installed (2.4.0-3ubuntu5) and yet the problem still occurred. I had to delete $HOME/.openoffice.org2/user/config/javasettings_Linux_x86.xml to get things back to normal.
Things coming to mind: 1. Probably OO should be configurable to use the default system JRE. That way if people keep OO to the default and install and remove system JREs, they won't run into this problem. 2. Some of us used IcedTea on Gutsy. In Hardy IcedTea seems to have been replaced by OpenJDK. The paths are different. This has not caused any other instability on my system. Only OO was affected. -- hardy ooo missing jre - system crashed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193139 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
