Hi I’ve been trying to setup JRE on LibreOffice 6.3.2 running on Ubuntu 18.04 to get the Zotero extension to work.
When I go to Tools → Options → Advanced I always find the “Use a Java runtime environment” box unchecked, and the box underneath empty, though I know JRE is installed and indeed when I add one manually it does appear in the box with the little dot checked.
So, once this is done I click Apply and OK but when I open the Tools → Options → Advanced dialog again, it shows the “Use a Java runtime environment” box unchecked again, and the box underneath empty.

How do I get LibreOffice to save my preferences?
(I have JRE 1.8.0_181 installed).

it does appear in the box with the little dot checked.

Just to be sure: Your really clicked the radio button once. It is not checked automatically, even if there is only a single JRE installed?

It was checked when I added it manually, but I unchecked it and checked it again to no avail. Once I close and reopen the Options dialog everything has disappeared.

Did you already try to reset your user profile? (Just made a test in my ubuntu test system and a did not see any problem - though my ubuntu comes with OpenJDK 11.0.4). Where did you get JRE 1.8.0_181 from (and you assured correct bitness - 32-bit vs. 64-bit)?

I just reset the user profile and it worked thanks!

For the record (according to last comment of @Mazel Dogg)
