I'm on 14.04 64bit. Got it to work. Here is what I tried. Managed to resolve the issue of "Error: the status of this extension is unknown" in the Tools -> Extension manager for the "libreoffice- nlpsolver" extension by reinstalling libreoffice and purging+reinstalling libreoffice-nlpsolver.
Despite the fact that the error no longer appeared in Extension Manager, still couldn't get the Solver to show other engine options, besides "LibreOffice Linear Solver". This was using openjdk-6. Installed openjdk-7 and selected it through Tools -> Options -> Advanced instead of openjdk-6. Restarted Calc and now the Solver provides in its options 2 more evolutionary engines additionally to the Linear one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910143 Title: libreoffice-nlpsolver (0.9~beta1-6) not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nlpsolver/+bug/910143/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
