Description tittelflorian 2022-10-28 08:55:50 UTC
Description:
When I open a document when the PC is connected to the network (LAN in my case), LibreOffice hangs.
If I remove the LAN cable, I can open the document without any problems.
When the document is open I can reinsert the LAN cable.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect PC to network (LAN).
2. Open LibreOffice
3. Open the document by double-clicking (either with "last used document" or via Explorer)

Actual Results:
At the bottom there is a "Load document..." bar.
Later, "(no feedback)" appears in the bar at the top and the mouse pointer turns into the blue loading stop symbol
If you wait about 20 seconds, the document will open. (Without LAN it opens directly)
If I try to close LibreOffice during the long loading process, a Windows window opens with the message "LibreOffice has stopped responding".

Expected Results:
You should have opened the document directly, as you can do without a LAN cable.




Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Never seen such a behavior in any LO-Version, special LO 7.3.6.2, but system is OpenSUSE Linux 64bit rpm here.

Have changed hardware, because the bug has been reported for x64.

Did you load Remote Files before? Then try by "Clear Recent Documents".

Also try by starting through "Help" → "Restart in Safe Mode…".

Last chance: Reset you user profile. Path to the profile could be found through
"Tools" → "Options" → "LibreOffice" → "Paths". Should be something like …libreoffice/4… Rename '4' to '4old'.

Do you have a printer on that network? Does the issue depend on if the printer is available or not?
Sounds like bug 42673 to me.

I followed all of your steps back then. Unfortunately, this did not resolve the issue.

The problem was not printer related.


I would like to apologize for my inactivity. I have been using a different Office application for a while now, so the bug is no longer relevant to me.
I would also like to thank you very much for your help.
I will now actively follow this post and, if necessary, help to fix the bug. But as I said, I no longer have the application and the error is no longer relevant to me.

Kind regards,
tittelflorian

Do you mean that you checked if a printer is listed in you system's configuration depending on if you are connected or not? To be clear: I know that your issue didn't involve using a printer, but bug 42673 is often the cause of such a hang and is related to network devices being unavailable when LO start up.

No problem.

Thanks for yours!

If you want to help, please install a recent version (24.2), test again if the issue persists, and if it does, double-check that network printer thing (is there one that Windows lists as an unavailable network printer? Does removing that printer resolve the issue?).

If you don't have LO installed anymore and don't plan to install it again, we might have to close the report as "resolved - insufficient data".
