Thanks for describing the problem in more detail. Previously I was testing with a user logged on. But, now I tested in the scenario that you described, without logging in: Latest LO 25.8 stable hangs (and not crashes): Version: 25.8.3.2 (AARCH64) Build ID: 8ca8d55c161d602844f5428fa4b58097424e324e CPU threads: 10; OS: macOS 26.2; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Upon logging in, retrying the same command works as expected. % /Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice --convert-to pdf --safe-mode --headless --nologo --safe-mode --outdir /tmp/test /tmp/test.docx soffice[59692:1326884] +[NSXPCSharedListener endpointForReply:withListenerName:replyErrorCode:]: an error occurred while attempting to obtain endpoint for listener 'ClientCallsAuxiliary': Connection interrupted And it hangs at this point. But latest LO 26.8 dev master compiled with --headless works fine. % instdir/LibreOfficeDev.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice --convert-to pdf --safe-mode --headless --nologo --safe-mode --outdir /tmp/test /tmp/test.docx Fontconfig warning: no <cachedir> elements found.

The same hang happens in this case: % /Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice --convert-to pdf --safe-mode --headless --nologo --safe-mode --outdir /tmp/test /tmp/test.docx 2026-01-22 06:44:42.009 soffice[51719:1540934] +[NSXPCSharedListener endpointForReply:withListenerName:replyErrorCode:]: an error occurred while attempting to obtain endpoint for listener 'ClientCallsAuxiliary': Connection interrupted Hang happens here. You may add the following configuration options, and test yourself with the latest sources: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/BuildingOnMac --enable-headless --without-system-fontconfig --without-system-freetype Therefore, the problem seems to be fixed, and will be available once LibreOffice is shipped with headless mode enabled. I will ask for adding --enable-headless in the futures builds, and then close this bug report as RESOLVED/FIXED, if there are no objections. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
