Librecad command line options

dougp
Using ubuntu 24.04
This is about the system command line, not the command line inside LibreCAD.

I'm trying to get some information about the LibreCAD install on a computer I'm not currently sitting at.  After using ssh to log in to the remote computer, I tried...

librecad --help

...in hopes of learning how to get some basic information about how to start or inspect LibreCAD from the command line.  I was hoping it would lead me to something like...

librecad -v
...or...
librecad --version

...so I could get the current installed version to help create a post here or on github.  No luck.  Instead, I get...

RS_DEBUG::setLevel(3)
RS_DEBUG: Critical
RS_DEBUG: Errors
RS_DEBUG: Warnings
qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display 
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb.

Aborted (core dumped)

Less than helpful.

How do I get librecad version information from a remote machine?

You can try with the dxf2pdf librecad command:
librecad dxf2pdf --version

Or if you may want to redirect the graphics output to your box instead?

dpkg -l librecad

The command doesn't require root access
