OOo 4.0.1 on Ubuntu 13.10 fails to start
Posted: Fri Nov 08, 2013 5:58 am
I installed OpenOffice 4.0.1 on Ubuntu 13.10 as follows:
1) Downloaded Apache_OpenOffice_4.0.1_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz
2) tar -zxvf Apache_OpenOffice_4.0.1_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz
3) cd en-US/DEBS
4) sudo dpkg -i *.deb
5) cd desktop-integration
6) dpkg -i *.deb
No errors during install.
OpenOffice shows up in Applications. When I click on the OpenOffice icone, I get the "clock" but nothing starts up.
I ran the following commands:
dansilva@desktop:~$ openoffice4
javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment!
no suitable windowing system found, exiting.
dansilva@desktop:~$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_45"
