[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1949291] Re: LibreOffice has started displaying a donation nag
It seems like you're frustrated with the donation banners in LibreOffice and are looking for a way to disable them permanently, particularly in the context of Ubuntu 20.04. While I cannot directly implement changes in software, I can provide some guidance. Your approach of creating a configuration file in the $BASEDIR/share/registry directory seems to be one way to address the issue. However, it's worth noting that modifying system files could have unintended consequences, and it might not be the most user-friendly solution. Another potential solution is to use a third-party tool or script to automate the process of applying your configuration changes. This way, you can avoid manual intervention. If you find the banners intrusive and believe that they should be addressed at the distro level, you might want to consider reporting this as a bug or feature request to the Ubuntu bug tracking system. Provide detailed information about the issue and your proposed solution. This way, developers can evaluate the request and decide on the best course of action. Remember to check for updates regularly like https://sassastatusportal.co.za/, as software projects often release new versions that may include changes or improvements based on user feedback. You can also explore community forums or mailing lists related to Ubuntu or LibreOffice to see if others have found alternative solutions. Lastly, keep in mind that software distribution policies, including whether to include donation banners, may be influenced by the developers' decisions and the open-source nature of the software. It's a good practice to engage with the community and developers in a constructive manner to express your concerns and suggestions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1949291 Title: LibreOffice has started displaying a donation nag Status in LibreOffice: Fix Released Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I just opened up a spreadsheet (technically a CSV file, but who's counting), to discover LibreOffice displaying an eye-catching blue "Your donations support our worldwide community." banner just below the toolbars and about a toolbar and a half tall.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1949291] Re: LibreOffice has started displaying a donation nag
** Bug watch added: Document Foundation Bugzilla #131550 https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131550 ** Also affects: df-libreoffice via https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131550 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1949291 Title: LibreOffice has started displaying a donation nag Status in LibreOffice: Unknown Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I just opened up a spreadsheet (technically a CSV file, but who's counting), to discover LibreOffice displaying an eye-catching blue "Your donations support our worldwide community." banner just below the toolbars and about a toolbar and a half tall. This irritating nag is apparently supposed to display every 90 to 180 days with no in-application means to disable it permanently, and there's apparently also a "Help us make LibreOffice even better!" banner that can appear too. According to this blog post... https://www.remembertheusers.com/2019/11/0580-libreoffice-nag- notices.html ...it is not responsive to configuration overrides within the user profile and the only apparent solution that doesn't require patching the source and rebuilding is to create a file containing the following markup in `$BASEDIR/share/registry` (`/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/registry` as installed by the Ubuntu package): http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance; xmlns:oor="http://openoffice.org/2001/registry;> http://openoffice.org/2004/installation; oor:name="Setup" oor:package="org.openoffice"> 0 0 Regardless of how it's achieved, I think it's tasteless, irritating, and probably doesn't give a very good image to any office customers Ubuntu may have downstream for random employees to be receiving nag banners like that in IT-installed software. Please consider patching it out or otherwise ensuring it never triggers in distro-provided builds of LibreOffice.
