strace on LibreOffice-5.3.3.2

OS: openSUSE 42.2 (x86_64)

Steps to reproduce:


1. delete ~/.config/libreoffice/ to get a firstrun


2. run one of the following commands (same result for all commands):

./soffice.bin --headless --nologo --nofirststartwizard '--accept=socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.service'

./soffice.bin --headless



actual result:
./soffice.bin quits immediately, returning exit code 81 (echo $?).

expected result:
./soffice.bin should keep running until it gets a SIGINT or SIGTERM.




Sadly there was no futher information about the crash. Neither via STDOUT/STDERR nor in ~/.config/libreoffice/4/crash/ (directory was totally empty). The only thing I can offer is the attached strace output.

But I was able to narrow down the problem to:
~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/extensions/buildid
Deleting that file triggers the problem.

Problem was reproducible on different openSUSE 42.2 (x86_64) computers with:
- https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/5.3.3.2/rpm/x86_64/LibreOffice_5.3.3.2_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz
- openSUSE 42.2 LibreOffice: http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.2/oss/src/libreoffice-5.2.5.1-18.3.2.src.rpm

supplement:

Bug is also triggered when updating LibreOffice.

E.g. 5.2.3.3 -> 5.2.5.1 which was recently delivered by openSUSE 42.2.

I can't reproduce it in

Version: 5.4.0.0.alpha1+

Reproduced with the following systems:

http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@70-TDF/2017-05-17_23.34.19/master~2017-05-17_23.34.19_LibreOfficeDev_5.4.0.0.alpha1_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz
on openSUSE 42.2

http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/iso/openSUSE-Tumbleweed-KDE-Live-x86_64-Current.iso (has LibreOffice 5.3.2.2)
Run livecd (I used Qemu/KVM) and do:
$ sudo zypper in libreoffice-writer
[...]
$ /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin --headless
$ echo $?
81

ftp://mirror.23media.de/ubuntu-releases/17.04/ubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.iso
Run livecd (I used Qemu/KVM) and do:
$ /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin --headless
$ echo $?
81

----------

But I think I finally got the reason for this.

The bug only happends when calling ".../program/soffice.bin"

When calling ".../program/soffice" everything's fine.

I guess this is intended behavior!?
If yes, feel free to close / set to invalid.
Comment 4 Xisco Faulí 2017-05-18 12:42:01 UTC 
yes, you need to use soffice without .bin. I don't know the technical reasons why but I know there's one ;-)
Closing as RESOLVED NOTABUG
