Problem: when my laptop is offline, libreoffice freezes. When network is on, everything seems normal, when I shut down the network, libreoffice hangs.

This is the case on my laptop, I struggled with for some time, even purged and reinstalled the whole package, but still the same. I then pulled the ethernet plug in my desktop PC and got the same result.

Both PC-s are ubuntu 14.04 64bit. Libreoffice version is 4.2.8.2. build:2.

EDIT: I just tested a second laptop (same config). Exactly same result: disable network and LO hangs.

I hope for help on this, need to be able to run libreoffice offline!

Edit2 (request from Pilot6):

  • Please [edit] your question and add output of `lspci -k | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D'` terminal command. – Pilot6 Mar 10 '16 at 08:21
  • This is something that bothers me for some time now... what does LO try to do online when just working on a document ? – alci Mar 11 '16 at 07:29

  • start it from command line and when it stalls see if there is a message in the terminal – Rinzwind Mar 13 '16 at 20:50
  • alci: I checked that site, but far to complicated for me. Rinzwind: I already did that. No output in the terminal – amalgamas Mar 14 '16 at 23:12

    @amalgamas could you run this command from the terminal: strace -olo_network.txt -f -e trace=network -s 10000 libreoffice This should result in a text file named lo_network.txt with all system calls regarding the network that LO makes. Not sure I will be able to find a solution out of it, but it certainly will help... – alci Mar 15 '16 at 08:01

I had a similar issue. Turns out i had recently worked on a document on a shared drive over the local network. That document was still listed in my recently edited docs in the File Menu.

I cleared them and removed the menu entry entirely. That seems to have helped at least with localc. Have not tried the others though.
