Hi,

Just so the next guy can also find this:

My file associations for Microsoft Word have been working for years. Periodically, I've had to run:

sudo update-binfmts --disable **jar**

(perhaps this is the explanation: https://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki/linux/faq/cxofficejavaassociation)

But with openjdk-8 installed, this needs to be:

sudo update-binfmts --disable **jarwrapper**

This was discovered because update-binfmts --display showed:

~> update-binfmts --display
python2.7 (enabled):
     package = python2.7
        type = magic
      offset = 0
       magic = \x03\xf3\x0d\x0a
        mask = 
 interpreter = /usr/bin/python2.7
    detector = 
cli (enabled):
     package = mono-runtime
        type = magic
      offset = 0
       magic = MZ
        mask = 
 interpreter = /usr/bin/cli
    detector = /usr/lib/cli/binfmt-detector-cli
jarwrapper (enabled):
     package = <local>
        type = magic
      offset = 0
       magic = PK\x03\x04
        mask = 
 interpreter = /usr/bin/jarwrapper
    detector = /usr/bin/jardetector

For later googlers, the symptoms: Today, running

CX_LOG=~/logname /opt/cxoffice/bin/cxstart --bottle "Microsoft Office 2007" ~/some/file.docx

Results in ~/logname showing:
