Hi Everyone, Hope you all had a happy Easter.
I recently found that desktop effects was making my system unstable. It would cause my whole system to freeze up and become completely unresponsive. It happened when I would hit left-alt-tab to switch between open applications. This didn't happen all the time, but it did begin to happen frequently.
So I disabled desktop effects and have since not had a crash (except once when using virtual box, but that is another story).
In any case, I had an open libreoffice document when the system froze up, and I had just saved it. I reset my computer, and when it rebooted I went to open up libreoffice again. It started the recovery process, which had always worked before without a problem, but this time it failed to recover the file. I did end up losing that file and had to rebuild it from scratch.
In any case, I don't have a need to recover that old file anymore. However, I still am having a small problem with libreoffice. Whenever I open up any document in libreoffice, it still tries to recover that old document and fails. You can see the screen shots below.

So I am wondering, how do I get libreoffice to stop attempting recovery of this file? I don't need it anymore and it is kind of a pain in the neck now.
i had this problem once, before the advent of LibreOffice i think. the solution i found then was to start the executable with the --norestore option ("soffice --norestore"). then it doesn't try to fix that invisible document. can't remember if i had to continue doing this, or if doing it once solved the problem persistently; i think it did, though. there also must be a location, probably under ~/.liberoffice somewhere, where the app. stores info. about crashed files it thinks need recovery. couldn't find such a location right now, but that might be because i don't have any crashed doc.s at present. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
