How to prevent LibreOffice running 'recover' at each start-up?
On Ubuntu, each time I restart my computer, and then start LibreOffice, it asks me whether I want to recover documents. It does this even though I've turned off automatic backups.
Other editors, such as gedit don't have this behavior.

Adding the option '--norestore' when running libreoffice gets rid of the recovery dialog.
This can be made to happen systematically by adding the following to your .bashrc:
alias libreoffice="libreoffice --norestore"

I have not found a clean solution to this problem. This is what I am using as a workaround on Ubuntu 18.04. For the command line:
alias libreoffice="libreoffice --norestore"
For UI elements I open the following folder with nautilus,
sudo nautilus /usr/share/applications
and edit the properties of the 6 links to the LibreOffice apps to call libreoffice with --norestore
The changes seem to be persistent although there is no Save button.
IMHO this should be configurable in libreoffice and I will file a bug report/feature request as soon as I find time.
