I just put the status in Fix released here also. If this does not reflect correctly the status, because it is released in a LO beta version and in a Kubuntu alpha version, please correct it. To me it seamed the closest thing to the possible status choises. By the way, the 12.04 alpha 1 version seems pretty stable and useable already, so I guess it will be a great release when all missing things and glitches are ironed out in april. It is the first time I use an alpha version and I am surprised about the useability of it, so thanks to the entire Kubuntu team and all the upstream people too for all the good work Marc -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/734424 Title: [Upstream] LibreOffice hangs for 30+ seconds when connected to the Internet Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: libreoffice LibreOffice: long load time when connected to the internet.

(41) While googling for this problem, I saw some messages where calc wabts to resolve the hostname of its own system, which can easily be solved with an entry in /etc/host, but here calc also wants to resolve urls inside the spreadsheet. In strace.log, you see excactly how long it takes to open the file and you can also see what url resolving is going on (the file contains www.citibank.be and keytrade.be) and what additional ssl and certificates that are not mentioned in the file calc also wants to resolve. The problem is perfectly reproducable, please let me know if you need additional information. I did not attach the file itself as it contains my bank account data. How
