如何禁用libreoffice通过SSH进行自动恢复

Question

Is there a way to tell libreoffice impress to skip autorecovery of files when you have no access to the machine it runs on despite ssh?

Another way of asking would be: Is it possible to completely control X or an application running in it via ssh?

This is about an RPi running in Kiosk mode without any input devices connected. Thank you so much for any advice on this.

Answer 1

You can disable autorecovery by starting LibreOffice with the command line option

--norestore

For example:

libreoffice --norestore --impress

Disabling saving of autorestore information ( Tools -> Options -> Load/Save -> General -> Save AutoRecovery Information every ... Minutes ) won't disable the Autorecovery mechanism.

Answer 2

You could use VNC to control the desktop even if you would sit in front of it. The simplest setup would be:

user@raspy apt-get install tightvncserver
user@raspy tightvncserver # start it

Then connect using a vnc viewer to port 5901

You could also connect via ssh -X to redirect x traffic to the local x server. Try:

ssh -X raspbian_machine
gnome-text-editor

It will open the text editor on your local machine.
