How do I get LibreOffice with Presenter Console to display notes and next slide?

rated 0 times [ 8] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 18455 / 3 Years ago, fri, august 13, 2021, 1:59:54

I am running LibreOffice 3.4.3 with Sun Presenter Console 1.0.3 on Ubuntu 11.10 on a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop.

I would like to be able to view the notes for the current slide on my laptop while the slide is being presented full-screen through the attached projector. Instead, all I can get on the laptop during a presentation is the normal view, where I have to manually advance to get from one slide to another.

Is there a way to configure my settings so the two displays stay in sync on the same slide but one shows notes and the other doesn't?

espertus,
I had exactly your problem. on exactly the same software you have. This is how I solved it:

get rid of everything that wasn't ubuntu-provided (including the Sun Presenter Console)

install the ubuntu-provided console with sudo apt-get install libreoffice-presenter-console

reboot

Note that bullet 3. is essential. I don't know why, but if you don't reboot it will never work (just restarting LO won't work).
