Joshua Koudys <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED Resolution|INVALID |--- --- Comment #8 from Joshua Koudys <[email protected]> --- Okay, this is still definitely a problem. All I see are a bunch of system-generated responses and then this thing auto-closed as "RESOLVED INVALID". Has any human being apart from its submitter actually looked at this? I can produce this issue so can give you any info you need to debug. It looks like libreoffice tries to make things more efficient, since when you run 'soffice' while an instance is already running, it brings that window to the front. This is fine when using it on a GUI as a single-user, but a big reason to use LibreOffice is for running it on a server to convert, or quickly extract information from a wide variety of file formats. According to all the docs, I should be able to just nicely start soffice running like a service like so: $ soffice --nofirststartwizard --minimized --invisible --accept="socket,port=8100;urp;" Then from a separate process connect to it to quickly run small tasks, like conversion: $ soffice --headless --convert-to pdf MyDocument.doc Except: this just returns straight away, because soffice just sees that it's already running, and does nothing but try and make the 'main window' pop up. Obviously this is inapplicable in --invisible mode. I know it's definitely connecting, since when I start it like a service, then in another window run: $ soffice -nofirststartwizard in the window running the service, I see: Warning: -nofirststartwizard is deprecated. Use --nofirststartwizard instead. Please please take a look at this. It would be a huge performance improvement, especially to those of us running libreoffice on backend servers. The file conversions libreoffice does are excellent and with a few small updates libreoffice could be for web applications managing office docs what imagemagick is to apps that manipulate images. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
