Description Vincent 2019-05-25 12:35:47 UTC
Hi team

When I log in windows (7 or 10) with a local admin user, LO starts immediatly.

When I log with an AD user with or without admin rights, LO takes 20 seconds to start. Once started, other documents open normally fast. This happens on our 10 test pc's.

In LO 6.0.7 no problems at all!

I'm in contact with IT managers and we all stays at 6.0.7, where this behaviour is not visible, because users do not accept to wait 20 seconds.

Thanks to all the team for your job !!!

Regards 

Vincent

Hi

Same problem in 6.2.4.2

Have you got specific extension?
Do you reproduce this if you rename your LO directory profile and give a new try? (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FirstSteps)

Just for the record, on the company where I work, on Win10 with LO 6.2.3 by using an AD user, I don't reproduce this.
Comment 4 Vincent 2019-05-27 10:00:23 UTC
Hi

Every week we install about 10 new computers with 10 brand new profiles.
I've just test it on a brand new computer with a brand new installetion of LO 6.2.4. and I have the same problem.

This behaviour occurs on all our 10 test computers in win7 or win10 with a domain user. Not with a local user. 

This does not occurs with version 6.0.7.

I don't see any slow process with procmon during the 20 seconds of starting LO.

Really strange! Is there somethinh new in the startup process after LO 6.0.7 ?

Thanks
Comment 5 Julien Nabet 2019-05-27 10:23:33 UTC
Is the user profile on local hard disk or put on shared network?
If on shared network, this could be the explanation.

Also, if you have lots of fonts, LO may take more time to start.
Comment 6 Vincent 2019-05-27 10:40:51 UTC
Hi

Profile is allways stored locally .
Standard fonts of windows. No add-ons installed.
With or without antivirus started.
Standard windows 10 installation with only LO 6.2.4 to test.

Strange behaviour!

What is LO looking for at startup?

Thanks to help us.

Regards

I can't tell what's done at LO startup, I suppose it loads rendering, fonts, Java, ...
I don't know if it checks LO or extensions updates existence on network.

Do you use quickstart? (if yes, could you try without?)
Do you reproduce with each LO module (Writer, Calc, Impress...)
Just to be sure, do you reproduce this each time you shutdown LO and reopen it or once by Windows session?

Do you have only 1 Java installed or several? If just 1, is it 32 or 64 bits?

What rendering do you use? (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FirstSteps#Graphics-related_issues_.28OpenGL.29)

You can also try to reproduce this in safe mode.

About procmon, you can try https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon, it gives a lot of details (you must filter to focus on what interests you).
The idea would be to save a session with local admin user and with AD user and try to compare.
For networking test, you can give a try to Wireshark.

Hi, here my answers :

Do you use quickstart? (if yes, could you try without?)

- No quickstart

Do you reproduce with each LO module (Writer, Calc, Impress...)

- Each module has the same behaviour

Just to be sure, do you reproduce this each time you shutdown LO and reopen it or once by Windows session?

- Each time I shut down LO and reopen it

Do you have only 1 Java installed or several? If just 1, is it 32 or 64 bits?

- 1 Java 32bits (Tried also with java 64 bits) same behaviour. Same in LO 32 or 64bits

In safe mode > same issue ...

Thanks for fast replies!

Hi 

It's the first time I introduce a bug, so What happens now?

Comment 14 Julien Nabet 2019-05-28 14:56:22 UTC
Vincent: AFAIK, I don't have more ideas. So either QA or dev people may intervene and bring some ideas to tests or to fix this or it may stay like this.

You must know that most of people are benevolent (it's my case for example) so depending on the bug, the availability of people, the interest of them for this issue, the difficulty to reproduce this, to solve this, etc.  the bug may stay years like this.
If QA and dev people have no idea, it can also happen that a new LO version may help. Indeed, sometimes a fix or an evolution present in a new version may impact positively a bug.
If it's urgent, you may also contact and pay professional support (see https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/professional-support/).
Comment 15 Alex Thurgood 2019-05-28 15:31:55 UTC
I don't have anything like the setup causing the issue, but a first suggestion from me would be to sniff the network packets and try and find out if it is some kind of host resolution or lookup that is causing that 20s delay.

For example, it has been quite common in the past, at least on and off, for various versions of LO to exhibit lookup delays with certain types of network storage/acess. Perhaps the problem lies here.

For example, searching for templates in a network share might cause a slowdown...

There are multiple similar reports. 
I suspect relation to bug 46014 and bug 33697.
Please write your Options-Internet-Proxy server and try to change and write Options-Online Update-Check status (try to turn off all there).
