  • What's with this Libre Office startup message?

Axios But in the past I have fixed some programs by unistalling and checking for dir and deleteing stuff then reinstalling
kinda like old winders days

this is one of those few times I didn't delete config and home files then reinstall...I'm getting sloppy. or I was too impatient to fix this. you get me thinking I haven't exhausted the trick bag yet

3 months later

I solved this annoying PITA message by installing JDK21 from the repo.
No more messages.

I don't remember any announcement telling users that installing JDK was a condition of using LibreOffice.

I think this is wrong. I never had to install JDK for LibreOffice for years and years to use LibreOffice. Being forced to install JDK when I never had a use for it is weird to me.

***unless in reverse world maybe I always had JDK installed and one day I uninstalled it?

depressingly SOLVED

    brent That seems to be the crazy fix for that its strange tho that not everybody has issues with it
    and when they do thats the only fix.
    I dont like software on computer that I dont use either.

      AlphaElwedritsch I checked my installation.
      No JRE or JDK installed.

      there never has been a proper discussion of why some are afflicted with this and some are not (same as lots of bugs). I have a feeling removing every Libre folder in /root and /home and uninstalling it would work. But that stuff makes me nervous 🙂

      something not right about that at all. A bug that makes you install unwanted software in order for the main software to function seems really sketchy.

      POSTSCRIPT:

      dark theme kinda blots out the checkbox next to "use a Java runtime....". I unchecked it despite all the online articles saying keep it checked...
      ...and nothing happened--no returning annoying popups.

      Next postscript: update on whether uninstalling JDK21 returns my annoying popups. Feel like I'm playing games with this app. Weird.
