Gordon,

I redirect your attention to the post I made earlier, Ubuntu can't
ship java runtime by default, so it can't include all the parts that
are installed by default by the online version,  the packages are
available in the repos you just need to install java (via
ubuntu-restricted-extras it's just the easiest way) then install the
missing parts if you goto LO in Software Center you can open the main
LO package and see all of the missing parts.
