 Yes.

 Was there any OOo user data left from a previous OOo (probably some
 hidden directory starting with .o in the home directory)?
No, it was a fresh install on a freshly formatted partition.

 Which OOo version is this, by the way?
2.3.0 AFAIR.

 headless openjdk got installed (there was no Java installed at all),
 Before trying out OOo the first time on that new installation the

 OOo without Java should work fine (minus the parts using Java, of
 course), so you might want to check whether OOo starts if you remove
 Java again.

Will try to do that, the machine is not in my realm anymore, but I
should get access on the weekend the latest.

[dev] Ubuntu desktop 10.4.1 de: Cannot start OOo, because the UI language cannot be determined !

2010-09-06 Thread Rony G. Flatscher
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

So that would be the OOo included in the Ubuntu distro, right?  Looks 
completely broken, esp. strange on a fresh install.  (That UI 
language cannot be determined message is somewhat of a red herring, it 
typically means that the OOo installation is so screwed up that starting 
it fails really early, trying to access the first UNO component, which 
happens to be configmgr.)

Yes.

Before trying out OOo the first time on that new installation the
headless openjdk got installed (there was no Java installed at all),
then after learning that headless meant headless (ie. no awt support) I
downloaded the version that contained it, if that makes a difference.

Ah, I see, thank you very much for your explanations!
