Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
The startup script soffice always detaches from console - this means
that you cannot use openoffice.org on ubuntu in server (daemon) mode
(i.e. headless parameter) without X. I have been doing this with 6.06 by
using xvfb-run. This does no longer work with 8.04 as the soffice script
detaches from the console and thus xvfb-run (an with it the virtual X
server) is terminated on startup.
To get that working i have to hack the soffice script inside
/usr/lib/openoffice/program to not run soffice.bin in background and to
not use the external oosplash.bin.
I suggest to make the loader script aware of the parameters -headless
and -invisible and if any of these are present, not using oosplash.bin
and not use & to run in background.
