Confirmed for LibreOffice 3.4 340m1(Build:103) on OpenSuse Linux. Also, I believe that some of the commands offered are deprecated. For example, soffice show .odp does not seem to work, nor does convert-to-pdf. Can anyone else confirm this? Maybe the --help flag needs a complete overhaul. [This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html Dear bug submitter! Due to the fact, that there are a lot of NEEDINFO bugs with no answer within the last six months, we close all of these bugs. To keep this message short, more infos are available @ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/NeedinfoClosure#Statement Thanks for understanding and hopefully updating your bug, so that everything is prepared for developers to fix your problem.

Yours! Florian Confirming problem still exists with LibreOffice 3.6.0.4. New due to confirmation I don't understand this bug report. Isn't /usr/bin/libreofficeN.N always a symbolic link to /opt/libreofficeN.N/program/soffice, which is in turn a front-end script used to invoke /opt/libreofficeN.N/program/soffice.bin (the actual binary)? Does this naming vary across GNU/Linux installations of LO? Unless there is some kind of variance in this naming such that under some GNU/Linux installations of LO there is no "soffice" script (or equivalent) I can see no reason why the help output would need to change. The OP needs to provide better evidence that the "soffice" script is not installed under their particular distribution / installation IMO. Owen, it seems you're right (at least now). Either I wasn't paying enough attention when I initially filed the bug, or else LibreOffice (or my OS) has altered its packaging such that an executable named soffice now exists. (I'm now using LibreOffice 4.0.3 on openSUSE 12.3.) Perhaps Jeffrey who confirmed the bug could check his installation as well. Setting to WORKSFORME as of comment10. Tristan, please re-open if I'm mistaken. |
The --help command-line option outputs instructions for invoking LibreOffice from the command line. However, it makes reference to a nonexistent command: > LibreOffice 3.4 340m1(Build:203) > > Usage: soffice [options] [documents...] As the LibreOffice executable for 3.4 is libreoffice3.4 and not soffice, please update the usage instructions accordingly.
