Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

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.

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>?

Do you know where the JRE is stored? i can point LO to it.

I installed default-jre with synaptic and downloaded /home/spot/Downloads/jre-8u431-linux-x64.tar.gz and extracted it to /opt
what file do I need to find and where do I find it so that libreoffice has JRE?[attachment=0]Screenshot(1).png

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.
