Ubuntu – How to disable presenter console in Libreoffice 4

libreofficemultiple-monitors

I am enjoying libreoffice 4, but don't want to have presenter console on because we do multiple things during a presentation, and the console window blocks out any option for switching windows or system volume or other simple things like seeing the time.
I have been down the road of "extensions" but it is built into the core of libreoffice 4 and cannot be just unticked in the tools extensions menu.
How do I remove, or at very lease disable it? It seems many other people want to know.


It seems this is renamed in libreoffice 4.1 (or its a kubuntu issue) to libpresenterconsole.so
Make sure you are renaming the right thing.

I think the easiest and cleanest way to proceed is to go to Tools/Options/Impress/General and disable the option "Enable Presenter Console".

NB: You must be in LibreOffice Impress for this option to show up.
