[SOLVED] Re: Libreoffice hangs at start

[Hans <hans.ullrich@loop.de>]

Hi all, 

I could obviously solve the problem. It was not, as formerly guessed, 
the /etc/hosts file, the reason was found in  ~/.cache/*

In ~/.cache/* I found several old files of documents (*.odt, *.ods). 

The customer told me, that not all files could be opened. Some opened fast, 
others real slow (as described before).

How I worked (for those, who are interested):

1. So first I created and tested with a fresh user = all ok = knew now, the 
system itself is ok.

2. copied ~.config/libreoffice* from this user to the old user = no success, so 
knew, it is not a libreoffice config problem

3. searched for all files "*.odt" and "*.ods" in /home of old user = found some 
in ~/.cache/ = alerted, that they might interfere, so moved it away

4. New testing shows = all ok

5. copied all "*.odt" and "*.ods" to a Test-directory, marked all and opened 
them with libreoffice = no errors, knew, all files are ok.

6. Removed the testuser, all copies and the backup of ~/.cache

Hope, this might help others, too.

Thank you all for your help. This case can be safely closed.

Best regards

Hans
