Nicholas Niro <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEEDINFO CC| |[email protected] Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #2 from Nicholas Niro <[email protected]> --- It's not really a good idea to run programs like libreoffice as root (or any program other than to actually change settings or run privileged apps). Libreoffice has absolutely no need to be ran as root under any conditions. (same goes for wine and many other programs). I tried to run soffice with the flag --headless. It shows this in my process list : $ ps aux | grep soffice nik_89 28745 0.0 0.7 505176 57112 pts/17 Sl+ 12:51 0:00 /opt/libreoffice4.4/program/soffice.bin --headless nik_89 28747 0.0 0.0 0 0 pts/17 Z+ 12:51 0:00 [soffice.bin] <defunct> The program soffice is still running while I dumped the process list. If I SIGINT the running process by pressing Ctrl + C (in the window where soffice --headless is currently running), it is killed and it no longer shows in the process list. A zombie process is one that stays in the process list regardless of killing attempts. (You could kill -9 <pid> repeatedly and it would still stay there). Try to run soffice as a normal user to see if there's any differences. set this back to UNCONFIRMED when you answer please. Libreoffice version : 4.4.3.2 Build Id : 88805f81e9fe61362df02b9941de8e38a9b5fd16 distro : Void linux x86-64 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
