[SOLVED] openoffice plugin not starting ubuntu 11.04 firefox 4.0

Jon Rubin
Set up:
Ubuntu 11.04
Firefox 4
LibreOffice 3.3.2
Zotero 2.1.6 plugin 3.5a1


The Debug ID is D1665248719.
report ID: 1749817071

Removed the icedtea java, installed sunjava

I've got the Zotero toolbar, but when I press any of the buttons, nothing happens. Ideas?

Regards,
Jon.

    OK, bit more info:

    went to the extension manager in libreoffice - the zotero plugin has the yellow alarm triangle. Tried to enable the plugin and got this error message

    (com.sun.star.registry.CannotRegisterImplementationException)
    {(Message="",Context=(com.sun.star.uno.XInterface)@0}}

    Will try unistalling / reinstalling

    Nope, cannot get this to work.
    One other thing to mention, when I first install the plugin, it says that it's installed properly, but libreoffice does not show the toolbar nor anything in the extension menu. If I reinstall the plugin, then the toolbar and plugin show up, they just don't work.

    Try installing the libreoffice-java-common package.
  • Jon Rubin
    Brilliant, thanks, that fixed it.
  • Zeedok
    Thanks -- also worked for me.

    Worked for me too. Thanks!
    (Ubuntu 11.04, w/ LibreOffice 3.3). The plug-In was 3.5a1.
  • Gerbert
    Installing the libreoffice-java-common package worked for me too under
    Ubuntu 11.04, LibreOffice 3.3.2, Zotero 2.1.6 (OpenOffice integratr. 3.5a1)

    Maybe word should be spread about this (anyone @ zotero??).

    Or does someone got the Wordprocessor plugin running without the libreoffice-java-common package installed under Ubuntu 11.04?

    I tried to install libreoffice-java-common, but there is a bunch of pork in the dependencies, like help files in every language under the sun (I only want english, thank you) and crystal and oxygen styles.

    Is there a way to get it to work without all of that pork (773 MB!)?
  • adamsmith
    this should be fine with LO 3.4
