[Solved] libreoffice base - since 7.9 update

[lightman47]

Everything is current; always is. When I go to the list of db tables, I now get this:

Code: Select all

LibreOffice requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this task. The selected JRE is defective. Please select another version or install a new JRE and select it under Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Advanced.

When I go to Advanced, it tells me Oracle Corporation 1.7.0_261 is installed - Location: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0..261-2.6.22.2.el7_8.x86_64/jre. If I attempt to "add" from the /usr/lib/ java 1.8 directory, it complains there's nothing there, and then completely locks-up the app - requiring the kill command to be used on it's process.

I suspect perhaps java got 'forgotten' for the 7.9 update??? Ideas?

Thank you.

HANG ON!!!!
Immediately after posting that, I exited the "Advanced" page via [OK] and it stated that in order to use the selected Jave, the app needed to be restarted. I clicked [Restart] and now all seems well.

{scratching head}

Thanks anyway.

Here's the actual deal (sorry for the long delay):

When you go to Tools/Options/Advanced and find a JRE already installed, as I did - that circle to the left of the Vendor name IS AN OPTION BUTTON that needs to be selected prior to clicking [OK]. I thought it was an indent mark or some other form of who-knows-what. I feel stupid(er) now.

Poor communication on that page!
