Description Roland Taylor 2018-11-10 20:09:57 UTC
Description:
LibreOffice seems to hang on the splash screen for up to two minutes when starting.

This happens on two systems since upgrading to 6.1.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start LibreOffice.
2.
3.

Actual Results:
The splash screen appears, the progress bar gets to about half-way, and then you have to wait for a while (quite a while). This didn't happen before.

Expected Results:
LibreOffice starts quickly, like it used to before.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Does it work if you disable OpenGl ? -> https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/OpenGL

I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present

For me the programme gets to the splash logo and then freezes for 15 seconds, no disk activity and no processor activity, it's waiting for something. I custom disabled online update in the last install so it's not that.

Win7 64bit LO v6.1.3 and V6.1.0

This is on a machine with i7 16gb ram and fast SSD.

Hi Roland,
You didn't answer my question.
Could you please try to run LibreOffice in safe mode? is it reproducible then ?
Comment 4 Roland Taylor 2018-11-27 18:01:00 UTC
My apologies for the late reply. I'd tried to reply by email but then learned that isn't supported.

It still occurs if OpenGL is disabled, and in safe mode. It takes a little less time in safe-mode, but still takes quite a while longer than normal.

Hi Roland Taylor,
Could you please paste the info from Help - about LibreOffice ?
To be precise, how long does it take in seconds ?

Moving to NEEDINFO until the info is provided
Comment 10 Roland Taylor 2019-06-01 01:29:28 UTC
Okay, did some testing, and both with the snap and the repo version at 6.2 on two systems, things seem to be working fine for now.

P.S. I didn't realize that the status was changed with my last comment (haven't used Bugzilla for a while now). My apologies.

Thanks for retesting with the latest version.
