Hello Girvin

In Xfce, when you click on the logout button on the taskbar there is a checkbox "Save session for future logins"...

Would this be a way to solve your problem?

Greetings,

I am running Slackware Linux 14.1 (K3.10.17), Xfce 4, and Libreoffice 5.0.6.3 (binary .rpm download from LO website).

I prefer to keep several oft-used LO files open all the time. These files are open when I shut down the session. When I start the next session, LO will not autoload these files and in fact will not run at all. When I then start LO5 manually from the desktop icon, these files are opened. I created a log of the Xfce output from the startup, which included the startup of LO5 and got the following snippet:

...

LibreOffice 5.0.6.3 490fc03b25318460cfc54456516ea2519c11d1aa

Unknown option: --session=2c07016df-92b0-47a4-8398-8d806cdb3d0c

Usage: soffice [options] [documents...]

Options:
--minimized    keep startup bitmap minimized.
--invisible    no startup screen, no default document and no UI.
--norestore    suppress restart/restore after fatal errors.
--quickstart   starts the quickstart service
--nologo       don't show startup screen.
--nolockcheck  don't check for remote instances using the installation
--nodefault    don't start with an empty document
--headless     like invisible but no user interaction at all.
--help/-h/-?   show this message and exit.
--version      display the version information.
--writer       create new text document.
--calc         create new spreadsheet document.
--draw         create new drawing.
--impress      create new presentation.
--base         create new database.
--math         create new formula.
--global       create new global document.
--web          create new HTML document.
-o open documents regardless whether they are templates or not.
-n             always open documents as new files (use as template).

--display <display>
      Specify X-Display to use in Unix/X11 versions.
-p <documents...>
      print the specified documents on the default printer.
--pt <printer> <documents...>
      print the specified documents on the specified printer.
--view <documents...>
      open the specified documents in viewer-(readonly-)mode.
--show <presentation>
      open the specified presentation and start it immediately
--accept=<accept-string>
Specify an UNO connect-string to create an UNO acceptor through which
      other programs can connect to access the API
--unaccept=<accept-string>
      Close an acceptor that was created with --accept=<accept-string>
      Use --unnaccept=all to close all open acceptors
--infilter=<filter>[:filter_options]
      Force an input filter type if possible
      Eg. --infilter="Calc Office Open XML"
          --infilter="Text (encoded):UTF8,LF,,,"
--convert-to output_file_extension[:output_filter_name[:output_filter_options]] [--outdir output_dir] files
      Batch convert files (implies --headless).
If --outdir is not specified then current working dir is used as output_dir.
      Eg. --convert-to pdf *.doc
          --convert-to pdf:writer_pdf_Export --outdir /home/user *.doc
          --convert-to "html:XHTML Writer File:UTF8" *.doc
          --convert-to "txt:Text (encoded):UTF8" *.doc
--print-to-file [-printer-name printer_name] [--outdir output_dir] files
      Batch print files to file.
If --outdir is not specified then current working dir is used as output_dir.
      Eg. --print-to-file *.doc
--print-to-file --printer-name nasty_lowres_printer --outdir /home/user *.doc
--cat files
      Dump text content of the files to console
      Eg. --cat *.odt
--pidfile file
      Store soffice.bin pid to file.
-env:<VAR>[=<VALUE>]
      Set a bootstrap variable.
Eg. -env:UserInstallation=file:///tmp/test to set a non-default user profile path.

Remaining arguments will be treated as filenames or URLs of documents to open.
...

As can be seen in the list of valid options, --session is not one of them. I suspect that --session is what the Xfce desktop uses to pass last session state information for startup.

LO 3.x would do this without any problems, but ever since LO 4.x, I have had this problem.

Is there a solution for this?

Thanks.
Girvin Herr
