What can I do?

Two things you can do to make it easier for others to see what is going on and help if they can.

  1. Post code as code with the </> icon. Example:

$ sudo dnf upgradel

  1. Preface commands with ‘LC_ALL=C’ so the output is in English. Example:

$ LC_ALL=C sudo dnf upgrade

I’m not sure of the exact answer to this but I asked on IRC @ #openmandriva-cooker so maybe a developer will respond. I do know that it won’t be java-1.8.0 and more likely would be java-12.

Post-edit: It there is a runtime environment in java-12 I can’t find it. I’m thinking it should be ‘/usr/lib/jvm/java-12-openjdk/bin/java’ but that does not seem to exist.

java-12-openjdk-12.0.1.ga-2.x86_64

is installed. I presume this is installed by default as I don’t recall installing this myself.

Post-edit: My understanding is that java is only needed if user installs and actually uses LibreOffice Base? That’s a question not a statement.

@Hanisch I got an answer from @bero on IRC. For java plugin bits for LibreOffice user needs to install:

$ sudo dnf install libreoffice-java

The reason is that we don’t want to install all the dependencies by default as most people won’t use them or need the java stuff in LO.

After installing ‘libreoffice-java’ a user should see this in LibreOffice>Tools>Options>Advanced:

Hello,

`$ sudo dnf install libreoffice-java`

That was the solution - thank you very much.
I have now “OpenMandriva 12.0.1 external”

Oh, no!!
Now is following taken:

$ sudo dnf install libreoffice-java

  - package pentaho-reporting-flow-engine-1:0.9.4-8.3.noarch requires liblayout >= 0.2.10, but none of the providers can be installed

  - nothing provides xml-commons-apis needed by liblayout-0.2.10-8.0.noarch
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

Why I can’t ‘libreoffice-java’ install again in last minutes?

Mixing Cooker repos with a stable release repos like Rock is just plain dumb. This is asking for problems. I’m baffled as to where people come up with this being OK. So anyway we added to Release Notes a section About Repositories.

This is the content of that section:

We have now the om-repo-picker aka: Software Repository Selector to select additional repositories for more package availability. Do not mix the repositories from different release versions/update channels. Example: This means do not use Cooker repositories on a Rock system. If you use Rock use Rock repositories only. This is explained in more detail in OpenMandriva Release Plan and Repositories.

If you do mix different release/update channel repositories and you break your computer the solution is to do a fresh install. And after that fresh install don’t do this again.

Post-edit: Perhaps I should be careful about labeling something as dumb lest I be asked about all the dumb things I’ve done on computers… (To many for sure.)

How can I deactivate the Cooker repositories?
Perhaps in /etc/yum.repos.d?

with regards
Ch. Hanisch

$ sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/openmandriva-cooker-x86_64.repo

Yes, in the file /etc/yum.repos.d/openmandriva-cooker-x86_64.repo change every instance of ‘enabled=1’ to ‘enabled=0’.

Hello,

Yes, that is much better. Should save you from many problems.

If you find packages missing then do this.
