Libreoffice

[acrome77]

I managed to download and install libreoffice but having a dickens of a time with the data base i keep getting this message:
The connection to the data source" New database could not be established
The connection to the external data source could not be established.No SDBC driver was found for the URL'sdbc:embedded:hsqldb'./build/-libreoffice-JOLMwH/libreoffice-7.0.3/connectivity/source/commontools/-dbexceptions.cxx:399

I have no idea what this means and it happens when I try to create a new database with wizard or other assistance

Does any one know what the hell is going on ? I can use all the other programs this only happens with base !!

You need to install a java environment. I was having a similar issue and installing openjdk-14-jre solved it.
Open a terminal and type

Code:

sudo apt-get install openjdk-14-jre

hit enter, type in your password when asked, hit enter again and wait for the process to finish. Try Libreoffice base again and hopefully it should work. Its only a 36kb pkg.

Hope this helps!

Hello. The LibreOffice is not working. Everything else seems ok. I did a Fresh install of LL 5.4. I can't find any error but when I try to open Writer, I get this message box "LibreOffice 6.4 Document Recovery" Due to an error, LibreOffice crashed. All The files you were working on will now be saved...etc... with Calc & Impress, they open when I click to create new doc. But Calc cannot open any file spreadsheet file... I followed the manual to uninstall, checked the repositories, reload for update and re-installed LibreOffice 6.4 but still the same...

This laptop, I already had LL 5.4 with all the packages running well but I recently replaced the HDD with SSD to make it faster. The files I was trying to open, I saved in external HDD before I changed the hard drive. I can open all those files without problem in my other computer with Windows even those saved in odf... Please help, I've spent 2 days already trying to find answers in the forum... I'm not tech savvy. I just came to appreciate LL when I first installed it in the old hard drive because everything worked well. I use this for work. Thank you very much in advance...

You should open a new thread, so it catches users' attention, this one is already old and solved.
