How does it meaningfully differ from --nologo and/or --nosplash or --invisible? The *documentation* (from the man page on my CentOS 6 box) says: " --headless Starts in "headless mode", which allows using the application without user a interface. This special mode can be used when the application is controlled by external clients via the API. It implies --invisible and strictly ignores any GUI environment. --quickstart does not work with this parameter. " It states that --headless "strictly ignores any GUI environment". Since libreoffice crashes when there is no GUI environment (eg DISPLAY is not set), it obviously is not "strictly ignoring" the GUI environment, since it complains where there isn't one. Either the documentation is wrong (or needs clarification) or the the program is broken (eg this is a real live bug, if only a documentation bug). Can someone answer this question?</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
