In recent weeks, LibreOffice takes about 45 seconds to fully launch. I hadn’t used it in several months, so I don’t know when the problem would have started exactly.
I’m running version 7.4.6.2 on Arch Linux.
By running strace, I was able to determine that LibreOffice is polling the file $HOME/.config/libreoffice/4/user/extensions/bundled/extensions.pmap and that this poll times out after 25 seconds. This file seems to refer to the two extensions bundled with LibreOffice (Wiki Publisher, Solver for Nonlinear Programming). I’ll include a portion of the strace output at post’s end.
Other things I have tried include:
- renaming the
$HOME/.config/libreoffice/4/user/directory to force generation of a fresh user profile, - renaming the
extensions.pmapfile, - disconnecting the wifi network,
- uninstalling and reinstalling LibreOffice.
Any ideas? Thanks!
