Hi,
I'm using jabref version 5.0 and LibreOffice 5.1.6.2 installed on Ubuntu 16.04. When I try to connect a LibreOffice file with jabref, I get the error
Autodetection failed
no office executable found!
The exception stacktrace was
com.sun.star.comp.helper.BootstrapException: no office executable found!

Hi,
do you use the deb version or the snap variant? (The snap variant does not work with libre office due to restrictions)
Have you installed the libreoffice-java-common package/libs?

I installed jabref_5.0-1_amd64.deb from here:https://www.fosshub.com/JabRef.html?dwl=jabref_5.0-1_amd64.deb
Yes, I have libreoffice-java-common installed

Did you install libre office as snap? If yes, then remove the snap version and install the non snap version
