Description Marwan Gedeon 2011-10-11 07:46:45 UTC
to replicate
1) Open Writer or Calc using gnome menu
2) call this command: libreoffice3.4 --convert-to pdf myfile.doc
3) nothing will happen, as if having the GUI open interrupted the execution of the command.

[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

I'm seeing the same issue.

When a GUI instance of LO is running, the convert-to CLI command fails to execute - and usually spawns another GUI window.  This occurs with other CLI commands as well, such as --print-to-file.
