Thanks, Andreas.To summarize what I learned from that second link: I need to install sun-java6-jre_6.22-0ubuntu1~10.04 into a directory of my choosing, then direct LO to use this special older version (which, it is reported, does not cause the awful slowdown we're experiencing).
Look like a short-term solution I can live with. Give me hope that I get back to work, later today
The long-term solution appears entirely opaque, however. Is the problem being reported to Oracle (who I presume is behind the latest sun-java updates). Is this an Oracle plot to blow OO and LO opensource dbs out of the water?
Is there any hope we can cut this dependancy upon a java version that is now associated with Oracle?
Sigh. Tom On 07/27/2011 02:26 AM, Andreas Säger wrote:
