Bug Description

OpenOffice.org bug#60837
Summary jvmfwk: Start-up hangs in Ubuntu5.10 because of javaldx finding a "java" which promts user to agree to license

-- The license agreement is not displayed and the user has to kill process javaldx to get OO2 to open

Original Bug report
Attempting to open an instance of OO2 hangs. If the javaldx is killed, the OO2 application opens immediately. The machine is a network-updated IntelPentium3 box with 1/2Gig Ram. Running Ubuntu 5.10 (breezy badger) Linux (debian-based)
release, and the OO2 installation has been done by apt-get on the CLI and also by Synaptic GUI. Result is the same in either case.

some observations:

- the installation of the java package didn't succeed:

rpm: To install rpm packages on Debian systems, use alien. See README.Debian.
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory (2)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

so it's clear that the problem persists.

- please install a JVM, which comes in the deb format. Either add the multiverse section to your archive (use synaptic, or edit /etc/apt/sources), and then install the package j2se1.4. This is the Blackdown Java version. Another possibility is to install 'java-package' and build your own java runtime / jdk.

- Not a solution to the javaldx problem.

closing this report, workaround proposed, installation of a third party jdk failed.
