[Solved] Setting up headless openoffice 3 without X?

[MartijnRas]

Heya Folks,

I need to set up openoffice 3 in headless mode on a remote box without X, on which it is also never going to be possible to install X of xvfb.

I can start the application with the following parameters:

/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice -headless -accept="socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp;" -nofirststartwizard

I can setup a telnet connection:

$ telnet localhost 8100
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
... com.sun.star.bridge.XProtocolPropertiesUrpProtocolProperties ... # ... (non printable characters removed)

But can not connect any other way, i'm assuming this has to do with the getting stuck in the registration phase, I tried the registry tweaks in Setup.xcu and Common.xcu as well as the DisableFirstStartWizard.oxt approach to no avail.

Are there any other ways of getting passed the registration phase through the command line?

Mazzel,

Martijn.

Make sure you're using the "right" oxt file for deactivating the Registration Wizard:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wik ... ion_Wizard
They are version specific, and the one for 3.1.0 is coming, but not yet available (the developers are supposed to provide it soon... I hope).

Try this, although that post covers OOo 2.3, it might work with OOo 3.x, too: Use OOo 2.3 really headless: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/ ... 7986#p7986

Heya Folks,

I successfully used the latest script to deactivate the registration wizard in OpenOffice 3.1, everything now works as expected.
