I ran the command as "bash -x /usr/bin/libreoffice --calc --nologo" and everything works fine down to the following (last) command, which opens calc with no logo. However notice what also appears: + exec /opt/libreoffice7.0/program/oosplash --calc --nologo javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment! Warning: failed to read path from javaldx oosplash is an ELF binary that actually runs (all?) the LibreOffice programs. While that seems obscure enough for me, the problem (not finding a java runtime system) has nothing to do with the symlinks I have set up for my keyboard shortcuts so they work independent of where LO actually lives on my machine. I don't know why this is happening, but I do know it has been going on at least since LO 5, and there have been many many comments on this email list about it being a bug, to which I agree. I have not seen any errors or other impact of this problem - maybe I don't use the JRE enough, or the errors are invisible for everything I am doing, and I find it disturbing that this keeps getting reported and not fixed. That said, I consider my problem resolved - no need for further input here. If someone wants to comment on the JRE issue, please post in a new thread, don't complicate this one. Thanks.

So this rather looks like an issue with how they obtained and installed LO (presumably from their distro). /usr/bin/libreoffice is a symlink I add so I can use a keyboard shortcut to run writer or calc without having to change the shortcut everytime a new major release comes out. Like so: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Sep 3 14:55 /usr/bin/libreoffice -> /usr/bin/libreoffice7.0* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Feb 28 2020 /usr/bin/libreoffice6.4 -> /opt/libreoffice6.4/program/soffice* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Sep 3 14:57 /usr/bin/libreoffice7.0 -> /opt/libreoffice7.0/program/soffice* I trust you are not saying that using a symlink will break something in the binaries - that would be tragic. soffice is a shell script that tries to determine its location in the file system, so that it can call other executables like oosplash and javaldx next to itself. See the section labelled with a "resolve installation directory" comment determining the sd_prog variable, which shall resolve to the actual directory containing the soffice shell script, with any symlinks resolved. The "double symlink" scenario you outline above works e.g. fine for me on Fedora 32. You need to debug into that shell script code to see why it breaks for you. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
