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.

Re: OOo 4.0.1 on Ubuntu 13.10 fails to start
There is a 64bit string in your java output, have you installed the correct version of java (or AOO if it needs to be 64bit)?

On a working Xubuntu 13.10/OO 4.0.1 32 bit system I get the same replies as dansilva, except that Java is _not_ flagged as 64 bit.
I suspect that the version of OpenOffice installed is 32 bit, which will run on a 64 bit Ubuntu. On this computer(32 bit, working) the download file is named
whereas, on a 64 bit Ubuntu running 64 bit Java the installation file ought be

Edit: For clarity: OpenOffice 32 bit should run on 32 or 64 bit Operating Systems. For some functions it require Java. If OO is 32 bit on a 64 bit OS, then it may need (will need?) a 32 bit Java, which one can instruct OO to use by internal settings. This 32 bit Java can be installed alongside a 64 bit Java. Best, if using 64 bit OS to stick with 64 bit OO and 64 bit Java. |
