I use the full path because it's the only one that gives output as you can
see:
apb@yellow:/usr/local/src/greetonix/src$ /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice
-h
apb@yellow:/usr/local/src/greetonix/src$ /usr/bin/libreoffice -h
apb@yellow:/usr/local/src/greetonix/src$
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin
-h
LibreOffice 5.1.6.2 10m0(Build:2)
Usage: soffice [options] [documents...]
[snip]
Maybe THAT should be fixed before investigating further, because it should
work. This means that somehow libreoffice can't find it's installation
directory. It might or might not be related to your difficulties, but
there's no doubt that something's wrong here.
Good call. I have a document I modify multiple times per day, so I
leave it open 24/7. That document has a macro I wrote, which has a bug
I have not had time to deal with. That bug crashes LO - but only when I
try to shut LO down. So I can modify the doc all day for weeks to do
what I need to do, but once I close LO I get the crash. I just sent yet
another auto-generated error report (several hundred probably by now) to
wherever it is they go.
So, exiting LO allows "libreoffice -h" as well as your suggested
solution "libreoffice --headless --nolockcheck --convert-to csv a.xlsx"
to work. Going back into LO - even *without* opening my document with
the macro - causes the conversion to fail silently. Adding
"-env:UserInstallation=file:///tmpdir" fixes the silent failure.
So, the issue seems to be twofold. My macro gunked up LO and caused the
conversion to fail, and having LO open requires use of the -env option
as noted.
Wouldn't you agree the real fix is to get the LO crash fixed in which
case my macro - buggy or not - shouldn't affect anything?
Thanks for all your and everyone else's help & suggestions!
