This irritating nag is apparently supposed to display every 90 to 180 days with no in-application means to disable it permanently, and there's apparently also a "Help us make LibreOffice even better!" banner that can appear too. According to this blog post... https://www.remembertheusers.com/2019/11/0580-libreoffice-nag- notices.html ...it is not responsive to configuration overrides within the user profile and the only apparent solution that doesn't require patching the source and rebuilding is to create a file containing the following markup in `$BASEDIR/share/registry` (`/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/registry` as installed by the Ubuntu package): <?xml version="1.0"?> <oor:data xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:oor="http://openoffice.org/2001/registry"> <dependency file="main" /> <oor:component-data xmlns:install="http://openoffice.org/2004/installation" oor:name="Setup" oor:package="org.openoffice"> <node oor:name="Product"> <prop oor:name="LastTimeGetInvolvedShown" oor:op="fuse" oor:finalized="true"> <value>0</value> </prop> <prop oor:name="LastTimeDonateShown" oor:op="fuse" oor:finalized="true"> <value>0</value> </prop> </node> </oor:component-data> </oor:data> Regardless of how it's achieved, I think it's tasteless, irritating, and probably doesn't give a very good image to any office customers Ubuntu may have downstream for random employees to be receiving nag banners like that in IT-installed software. Please consider patching it out or otherwise ensuring it never triggers in distro-provided builds of LibreOffice.
