Hi Everyone,

For me, the issues with LibreOffice started with Java 1.6.0_24 and continued with 1.6.0_26. I run Ubuntu 11.04. Ubuntu, for the last several releases, has not shipped Java with it, but uses an open Java called Iced Tea. I always install Sun Java once I have a new version installed. When the issues arose with 1.6.0_24, I deleted all of Sun Java, and went back to Iced Tea. I had not luck with it working any better than the Sun Java 1.6.0_24. I've been running 1.6.0_26 for my browsers, and 1.6.0_21 for LibreOffice for about 3 weeks now, and everything works perfectly. Based on my past experience of trying Iced Tea, I'll stick with the two Java versions. I'm presently running LibreOffice 3.4.2 and hope to install 3.4.3 tonight.

The key numbers in versions in comparing Linux versions and Windows versions of Java are the 6 ( Linux 1.*6*.0_21 jre-*6*u21-windows-i586-s.exe ) and the 20 whatever ( Linux 1.6.0_*21* jre-6u*21*-windows-i586-s.exe ). So, Linux version 1.6.0_21 and windows jre-6u21-windows-i586-s.exe are the same version for their respective platforms.

you show 2.6.0_21. My Ubuntu version shows 1.6.0_20. Was that a error, or is something wrong on my end. The files just say similar to the Windows version named "jre-6u23-windows-i586-s.exe". There is no "1" or "2" in front of the version. The "1" in front of the Ubuntu repository version may be their numbering scheme, instead of any other meaning.

I was told, if I remember correctly, that the issues started somewhere around update 25 or 26. The NA-DVD has update 23, since that was a version that worked, since it was the one on the original German beta test ISO from the later winter or early spring.

Hi :)
Perhaps an intermittent problem like the OpenOffice.org servers?

I would definitely try the normal java but a version around 2.6.0_21 rather than anything newer. The new ones seem to break LibreOffice somehow but are better for web-browsers apparently. Luckily it's very easy to have both and it's easy
to select which one LibreOffice uses.  I think the web-browsers tend to
automatically choose the newest version so, hopefully, it should all work out.
Regards from
Tom :)

The server must be down. I have tried to get to it here in the U.K and Safari can't connect either. I think that from the quote it implies that only Linux users are affected by this issue, everyone else should be OK. I hope so, since this sort of Java performance problem should be fixed - especially since it is a new version of LibO that is out, and there have been similar problems in the
past?

I still get the following:
         "Problem loading page
         Server not found
         Firefox can't find the server at openjdk.java.net"

I can download files from the LO web site, so it is not my Internet connection.

Where is "from here"? Where is the server located? Could there be some break in communication, due to the power outages from the Tropical Storm damage, and the DNS routering between me and the server have not found a new path? For me, I am in New York State USA, on the eastern fringe of the storm. 30-40 mph winds and medium to heavy rains. Not much damage here. But if you drive 2 hours east, you get downed power lines, washed out roads and bridges, and a whole lot of mess. To get to NY City from here you go 1.5 hours east and 3+ hours south
[as the highway travels].

http://openjdk.java.net/ opens fine here. But it only has releases for
Linux, nothing for Windows that I can see.

n the Release Notes it states the following - quote:  "If you run
Linux, the GCJ Java variant has known issues with LibreOffice, we advise
to e.g. use OpenJDK instead."

Google points to the following URL: "http://openjdk.java.net/"; but the
site is either down or no longer valid.

SO any ideas where people can get OpenJDK as recommended in the
LibreOffice 3.4.3 Release Notes?  For Windows, Linux, and Mac?
