On 12.04 LibreOffice does not start

Asked by Tommy Pollák

LibreOffice does show splash window and closes. When starting from a terminal a message about "javaldx failed" is displayed:

~$ libreoffice --calc
[Java framework] Error in function createSettingsDocument (elements.cxx).
javaldx failed!
Warning: failed to read path from javaldx
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException'

Whats wrong and where should I search?

Try killing all libreoffice apps then run:

mv ~/.config/libreoffice ~/.config/libreoffice_old

Then rerun one of the apps

You can clean up with:

rm -r ~/.config/libreoffice_old
