Hello Marcus, as You suggested, I opened the terminal, and
typed then the command "soffice". After that, the main-menu of OpenOffice started. There, I go to "Open last files", and opened the "Testfile01.odt". After that I got the message: [image.png] In the terminal-window, there are the following messages: wolfganghinzmann@fedora:~$ soffice javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment! That's all.
