Forgot to mention that this is Fedora3: uname -a Linux www.pathtech.org 2.6.10-1.760_FC3 #1 Wed Feb 2 00:14:23 EST 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Please be a little more detailed in your description? What means activating? What are you doing? Closing the issue when asking for more information is not very good. Please investigate more thoroughly. Activate: see http://www.wordreference.com/definition/activate for a definition as we seem to have a problem communicating. As to how: Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Java. Click add and crash. The error is self-explanatory. If you need assistance please ask and I will be glad to explain. Created attachment 22171 [details]
strace of 1.9m74 java setup session
I have no issues on my system, also fedora core 3. I assume that activate is the same as enable or telling OOo that Java exists. First, I went to the Java setup. Of course, I already had Java listed there. I assume, therfore, that it is "Activated" or "Enabled". So, I turned it off! Then, I turned it on again. I can make two guesses. Guess 1: Which version of java do you have? I am using jdk1.5.0_01. I think that I read that you must use 1.5 so I installed 1.5 BEFORE I installed the 74 development build. I do not remember where I read this and I could be very very wrong. Guess 2: The JDK 1.5. is in my path... I hope that this helps... Side note: Java was already there, I did nothing special to cause it to appear there. Java is in my path already, however... Mr. Singleton, if you would like me to perform any specific tests on my computer, let me know. For you, I am more than happy to do this for you :-) Change summary to emphasize what the error says. @ grsingleton: You are right. This would be a communication problem. But I don't think that it is my problem: - you're writing "Attempting to activate..." That means setting the checkbox in Java section in tools options amd/or to choose an installed one by selecting it with radiobutton and not to add a runtime environment - you're writing that I have closed the issue. That's not true. I've channged the resolution to 'worksforme' and added the key word 'needmoreinfo'. That's correct if it works for me and if I need more info. - nitpicking: this is not a 'component: installation' problem. Ok, without installation you don't have problems with the office :-). Problems in the options dialog belong to the framework component. I know that you are high motivated supporter of OOo. So that's why I hope that I get a more detailed and valid issue description (http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/scdocs/issuewritinghelp.html). *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 41437 *** See issue 41437 for workaround. *** Issue 42954 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** |
