Hi Stephan, thank you very much for your feedback! The logfile (and a text-file giving information on the system) can be found at: http://wi.wu.ac.at/rgf/tmp/OOo/. Please do not invest too much time as I am confident that uninstalling Ubuntu's OOo and installing the genuine OOo will make OOo available with scripting on that particular machine (so it is more curiosity than necessity to figure out what is happening on that Ubuntu-10.04-desktop installation, which came without Java orginally).

Re: [dev] Ubuntu desktop 10.4.1 de: Cannot start OOo, because
O.K., I uninstalled everything on this weekend that smelled like Java, however the behaviour of the Ubuntu-installed OOo did not change, i.e. OOo could not get started, the error message is just: Running soffice from the command line gives the following output on the commandline: javaldx failed! Did not uninstall the Ubuntu OOo (and reinstall the genuine one) for the time being, such that I would be able to test whatever people think may help clarify the problem. (OTOH, it may be the case that something went wrong installing the Java distributions and although uninstalling all Java may have left over some settings that are causing this phenomenon.) ---rony On 06.09.2010 20:36, rony wrote: On 06.09.2010 16:47, Stephan Bergmann wrote: On 09/06/10 12:39, rony wrote: On 06.09.2010 11:55, Stephan Bergmann wrote: On 09/06/10 11:37, Rony G.

[dev] Ubuntu desktop 10.4.1 de: Cannot start OOo, because the UI language cannot be determined !
Hi there, not having found an appropriate e-mail list to report/ask about this problem, but hoping that some soul kind can give hints/advice. Please advise what mailing list would be the appropriate one for questions like this. After a fresh install of a German Ubuntu-desktop 10.4.1 and starting any OOo module a popup error comes along informing one that OOo cannot determine the user-interface language and then aborts. Running soffice from the command line gives http://wi.wu.ac.at:8002/rgf/tmp/OOo/ErrorOOo-on-Ubuntu-10.4.1-desktop-German.png gives the following output on the commandline: [Java framework] Error in function createSettingsDocument (elements.cxx). javaldx failed! Before installing the community edition of OOo I just was wondering what the cause of such an unexpected behaviour could be (giving a bad impression on the casual user who may want to look into OOo and learns, that it does not work) and how to remedy it? TIA, ---rony
