Bug ID: 96215
Summary: LibreOffice hangs/won't start if some mounted shares
are inaccessible
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.0.3.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I had issues with LibreOffice and it's freezing hanging problems for a while.
Now I figured it out, what actually the problem is. Here is the scenario:
I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my laptop for work with automatically mounted
network shares (with kerberos tickets). Everything works fine when I am at work
(connected to network at work). But when I start my laptop (wake up) at home,
opened LibreOffice windows hang (turn grey and unresponsive) and simply never
recovers! Also restarting doesn't help. I can't even see the splash screen! It
simply runs with 0 CPU usage in the background. I kill it and try again but no
use. There was a similar problem with Inkscape. So I connected to my work
network from home with VPN, which made those shares accessible. I checked if
they are accessible through nautilus. Then LibreOffice starts and works
normally.
There are no program related files in those shares. LibreOffice does not
require anything there to start. There are probably some documents there, which
I accessed before. But I am not trying to open them.
Expected behaviour would be that LibreOffice handles those IO operations either
asynchronously or simply not at all. Also in case of such emergencies a time
out needs to be present. Network shares are not accessible all the time but
these are mounted as folders in the root directory. I wonder if any application
can detect if they are not locally stored or not (unless they look into that in
detail).
So please don't hesitate to ask for more relevant information. I will provide
as much as I can.
Thanks!
