Description Buggy 2021-02-28 17:38:22 UTC
When having the file .config/kioslaverc containing
ProxyUrlDisplayFlags=0

[Proxy Settings]
Proxy Config Script=
ProxyType=3
ReversedException=false
socksProxy=

an error message is shown when starting LibreOffice the first time after a login something like

"No usable Proxy-Konfiguration script can be found" (Es kann kein verwendbares Proxy-Einrichtungsskript gefunden werden)

When attempting to start LibreOffice a second time about three minutes after the first LibreOffice instance had been terminated it takes much more than one minute to show the LibreOffice main window on a fast system, much longer than the initial duration.
Comment 1 Buggy 2021-02-28 17:40:00 UTC
The problem appeared on OpenSuSE 15.1 and OpenSuSE 15.2.
Comment 2 Buggy 2021-03-15 06:49:22 UTC
Do you require a comment from my side?
Comment 3 Harshita Nag 2021-03-25 10:00:42 UTC Comment hidden (obsolete)
Comment 4 Buggy 2021-03-28 20:26:22 UTC
I created a new VM (2 CPU's, 2048 MB RAM, 30 GB disk space), installed OpenSuSE 15.2 (German - Deutsch with German keyboard) in a NATed network using the installation option "Desktop with KDE-Plasma", initially I used a wicked network configuration, but later a Network Manager configuration showed the same behavior for the package 6.4.5.2 (start loffice) shipped with OpenSuSE as the latest build 7.1.1.2 (starting libreoffice7.1 after deinstallation of the libreoffice shipped with the release and installing all RPM's as root using "rpm -i LibreOffice_7.1.1.2_Linux_x86-64_rpm/RPMS/*.rpm"):

Create ~myuser/.config/kioslaverc
ProxyUrlDisplayFlags=0

[Proxy Settings]
Proxy Config Script=
ProxyType=3
ReversedException=false
socksProxy=
Modify /etc/xdg/kioslaverc to
#[Proxy Settings]
#NoProxyFor=NO_PROXY
#ftpProxy=FTP_PROXY
#httpProxy=HTTP_PROXY
#httpsProxy=HTTPS_PROXY

Then the initial startup of LibreOffice is start, only a warning of the "Network Proxy Configuration" is shown: "No usable proxy-configuration script could be found". A second startup about 10 minutes later is delayed significantly, the above configuration warning is not displayed again.

Dear Buggy,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
