Libreoffice integration: JNI error under debian

ringprince

Hi all,

I am having difficulties to install the libreoffice integration in
debian 11.

I've had it installed and usable for quite some time but today the
buttons were dead. Thus, I assume this is a debian upgrade triggered
error. So I removed the libreoffice extension. But I cannot
re-install it anymore.


I am seeing the JNI-error on manual installation of the extension [1]. But the usually
suggested solution [2] to make libreoffice aware of the installed JRE does
not help, as the JRE (11.0.13) is already selected in
Tools->Options->Libreoffice->Advanced.

Also, deleting libreoffice's data folder does not help: I see the same
error after `rm -r ~/.config/libreoffice`.

libreoffice-java-common is installed [3].

Any help on how to get the libreoffice-zotero-integration installed is
highly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)

If possible, you should try using a newer version of LibreOffice (e.g., 7.2). Zotero worked with LO 7.0 in general, but there's no real point trying to debug an outdated version.

I have solved my problem. Re-installing libreoffice has enabled me to install the libreoffice integration.

I removed/purged all libreoffice-related packages until
`aptitude search libreoffice | grep "^i"`
did not return anything anymore.

Then I re-installed libreoffice via
`apt-get install libreoffice`.
