libreoffice 5 theme and java

English Applications
#1

I have a fully updated Tumbleweed XFCE.

When starting soffice from the command line if get the following error:


Warning: failed to read path from javaldx

Libreoffice then starts, but it is ugly, not picking up the system theme.

When I install libreoffice-gnome becasue this supposedly allows libreoffice to pick up the them, libreofcie does not start.


Warning: failed to read path from javaldx

Can someone help?

I am also getting the same error. Libreoffice won’t start. Tumbleweed with XFCE desktop. I think things broke around the time the Gnome 3.18 Tumbleweed update came out.

When libreoffice is started from command line I get:

** (soffice:4348): WARNING **: Couldn't register with accessibility bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

(soffice:4348): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: can't peek value table for type '<invalid>' which is not currently referenced

Dmesg shows the following error:

soffice.bin[4067]: segfault at 30 ip 00007f1045882177 sp 00007ffee06a0910 error 4 in libgtk-3.so.0.1800.1[7f10455cf000+70a000]

Update…
Did a bit of web searching on this and it looks like this is a possible regression in Gnome 3.18.1 related to using an external theme (which I am using) in Libreoffice.
There is an Arch Bug and a I think a Gnome Bug.](https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/46617)

Thanks. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Is there a way to stop using an external theme in Libreoffice from the command line?

Edit: Never mind. Silly me. I just uninstalled libreoffice-gnome.

I just did a massive update (several hundred packages). I had earlier uninstalled libreoffice-gnome. Libreoffice updated, and for some reason, libreoffice-gnome re-installed and Libreoffice is now picking up themes in XFCE dsektop.

Yay :slight_smile:
