I'm using Solus Budgie as well. It starts but when launching it from the terminal I get the following message:

javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment!
Warning: failed to read path from javaldx

Additionally, the small LibreOffice writer icon in the panel is blinking about 10 times until LibreOffice writer is fully loaded.

Install openjdk-8 if you need to use the java features

@ecovaci make sure your system is up-to-date and check the installed packages.

openjdk-8 is already installed

I didn't have openjdk-8 installed. The only issue remaining for me is the flickering of the LibreOffice writer icon in the panel but I think this could be a Budgie issue.

I can't reproduce this on any of my systems. Can you run a sudo eopkg check and let me know what packages are marked as "broken"?

Installing optional dependencies for something you don't need is not the best thing to do imo. For your info LO is slower with Java.

No package is marked as broken.

I'm a Java programmer so I need OpenJDK for programming.

I was answering @baimafeima which for some reason mixed his own different inquiries in your issue report, sorry for the confusion.

@ecovaci since nothing worked so far, let's try this :
sudo eopkg it --reinstall harfbuzz libreoffice-common libreoffice-writer

I did that, still not working. I also removed and install all libreoffice components, same result.

Can you make sure that freetype2 is installed? If it is, try a reinstall of that

It is installed, version 2.8 Reinstall did nothing, but I suspect here is the issue.
