Libre Office Base with Bookworm Pup no JRE

Post by LANdpLAN »

Couple problems with Libre office Base 7.4.7.2 I installed from synaptic with Bookworm Pup 64.
First I get this when I open my databse

A Scripting Framework error occurred while running the Basic script vnd.sun.star.script:Standard.embedded.Setup?language=Basic&location=document.

Message: The following Basic script could not be found:
library: 'Standard'
module: 'embedded'
method: 'Setup'
location: 'document'
at ./scripting/source/basprov/basprov.cxx:365

Next I get and error saying there is no Java Runtime environment.

The connection to the data source "LANdpLAN" could not be established.
SQL Status: HY000

No Java installation could be found. Please check your installation. at ./connectivity/source/commontools/dbexception.cxx:413

I do not see the .connectivity folder in bookwormpup. Not sure what to do. I tried installing jre.pet and jre.sfs files and that didn't do anything. I downloaded jdk-8u421-linux-x64.rpm and jre-8u421-linux-x64.tar.gz and I don't know what to do with them.

What specific version of BookwormPup64?
10.0.3, 10.0.6, 10.0.7, etc..........

Yes it matters.
The latest version 10.0.7 has improvements and bug fixes.

First I get this when I open my databse

The database is from what?
What program made it?

Is it located on the same drive and computer?

If you only installed the libreoffice base.
I do not think you got the complete program.

Try installing libreoffice.

When I did that it installed:
libreoffice and what looks like all of it's complete program package.
A lot more than just the base.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o

If you want JRE your best option is to install default-jre with Synaptic. Debian packages are compatible with Debian's JRE.

I am using version 10.0.7
Libre Office Version 7.4.7.2
I installed Libre Office and there is still no Java Runtime environment.
If I go to Tools>options>advanced>there are no entries to select where there should be one.
BigPup, Do you have a JRE on your LO at Tools>options>advanced>?

This post might provide a clue, https://www.libreofficehelp.com/how-to- ... erivatives, that is in addition to installing jre you also have to install libreoffice-java-common.
"sudo apt install default-jre
sudo apt install libreoffice-java-common"

Untested.

I created a fresh BWpup and got it to work however I'd like to keep all my other save file modifications on the save file that is giving me the imposibility to install jre.. The problem persists despite having done this:
# sudo apt install default-jre
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
default-jre is already the newest version (2:1.17-74).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 11 not upgraded.
# sudo apt install libreoffice-java-common
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
libreoffice-java-common is already the newest version (4:7.4.7-1+deb12u5).
libreoffice-java-common set to manually installed.

A fresh install solved the issue using the suggest terminal commands. Unfortunately I could not figure out how to resolve it and keep all of my settings and apps.

"sudo apt install default-jre
sudo apt install libreoffice-java-common"
