Dear team, I ran into trouble when trying to display help under LO 7 (from buster/backports).
Following the switch to HTML help, help invocation causes LO to spawn (probably through xdg-open) a browser, which is pointed to a file in /tmp, which in turn redirects to /usr/share/libreoffice/help. My problem is that I am also using firejail with the browser (firefox-esr) and the default profile of firejail for firefox uses a "private /tmp", making the 'help redirection file' created by LO inaccessible to the browser. Simple whitelisting is not possible (the 'help redirection file' is created inside a random named directory) and giving up the "private /tmp" is something I would like to avoid if possible. A way out would be to make LO create such temp files somewhere else, in a location with a predictable (and preferably configurable) name and whitelisting that one. It works from the command line by prepending a properly set TMPDIR, but this is difficult to achieve since there are quite many ways of invoking LO: libreoffice, lowriter, localc, soffice, .desktop files, mailcap, ... I tried to set TMPDIR from within /etc/libreoffice/soffice.sh, but that does not seem to have any effect (temp files are still being created in /tmp, which is the default setting). I failed to find any detailed information on LO invocation in Debian and the relevant systemwide config files. I have no clear idea whether the above behaviour is a desired one or a bug. In order to avoid a useless bugreport, I would like to ask you - and perhaps also ask for a brief help (or a docs pointer) regarding where to set TMPDIR for LO systemwide. Thank you! Regards, Phil
