[Desktop-packages] [Bug 926594] Re: LibreOffice warning gives wrong advice: "javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment!"

2012-05-09 Thread Neal McBurnett
Based on the UDS discussion https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-q-libreoffice- split it sounds like perhaps the warning message should just advise installing the "libreoffice" package. Here is a revised suggestion around that, which also would require a standard summary of the is

I think this affects anyone on the default install who launches LibreOffice from the command line. For more background and implications of not installing Java with OpenOffice, see also this blueprint proposed for the 12.10 Ubuntu release (Quantal): LibreOffice package split collateral damage ana

As I noted in bug 926594, for Precise, installing libreoffice-java- common did not solve the issue for me - it was already installed. Installing libreoffice-base did solve the problem. For background and implications of not installing Java with LibreOffice, see also this blueprint proposed for the

Oops - thanks for setting me straight about "wishlist". As noted above, I saw this on a fresh install of the final 12.04 precise iso for amd64. So in effect I followed the advice at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibreOffice to use the default install. But that page doesn't deal with the issues around

There are still problems with the warning message. Lets focus this bug on fixing that. Please set it to "wishlist" at least, rather than "won't fix". It sounds like Ubuntu made a decision to not require Java for LibreOffice - presumably to reduce the default distribution size and avoid potential

@christopher, which bug are you thinking of? Perhaps bug 733128? Bug 733128 has some discussion of this also, but seems focused on problems related to the ~/.libreoffice/3/user/config/javasettings_Linux_*.xml file -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Package

I see the same behavior, on a fresh install of the final 12.04 precise iso for amd64. I already had libreoffice-java-common, and did not have the file mentioned in the error message. But I had no java command. I tried what Oleksij suggested (wajig install libreoffice-base) which noted it would

Update: based on the description and screenshot at http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2010/09/21/benchmark-how-to-know-your- hard-disk-speed/ it appears that if you do ask to proceed with a write- only check, if it then notices that there is a partition table, it refuses to do the write test. So at

I can confirm the first aspect of the bug for Natty - there is an "are you sure" confirmation dialog about doing a read-write test, but no hint as to whether it is destructive, or how it would manage to avoid overwriting real files. I assume it needs to have a good understanding of the file system

2011-09-22 Thread Neal McBurnett
My guess is that for the hard-to-see zig-zag line, the x-axis represents disk addresses from 0% (beginning of the disk) to 100% (last block on the disk), not time. The y-axis for that line is on the right, in milliseconds. It seems to be a continuous trace of (%-of-disk, seek time) points, all li
