I am trying to launch loffice
or localc
via an established ssh connection (ForwardX11 enabled). It does however fail to show the loffice gui / splashscreen on the computer from where I run my ssh session. The loffice
application runs in the remote bash but without any command line output.
All other gui applications like xterm, gvim, PyQt5 scripts work fine. I also tried to run
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin
directly, but to no avail. (loffice is a shell script redirecting to another shell script, which as far as I understand eventually launches soffice.bin.)
Also without any success I tried:
loffice --display ${DISPLAY}
--display
switch was what I needed. I noticed (via x11vnc) that there were instances running on the default display, but even after killing them, LibreOffice started on DISPLAY 0.0
