Set so that LibreOffice Impress will go straight into show slide mode

You can also do this using terminal

Open terminal Ctrl+Alt+T and run following command

libreoffice --show yourfilename.ppt

I wanted to run a presentation looping on a notice board but for some odd reasons, pps files were inserting a pause of 10 seconds between last and first slides even if I set the relevant option to 0 sec, whereas odp was working fine.
