For checking the described behaviour, please download the doc first completely, then try to open it. Otherwise, if saying "Open by Libreoffice" in the Firefox download dialog, the described behaivour does not appear!But when I download the attachment into some local directory, then it open very slowly too! Opening a gnome-terminal and then running "libreoffice <document>", I get some messages: W: Unknown node under /registry/extlang: deprecated W: Unknown node under /registry/grandfathered: comments W: Unknown node under /registry/grandfathered: comments Don't know whether this important? Forgetting to ay the the described behaviour appears only in gnome or gnome classic sessions. If logging in into xfce or lxde or openbox sessions, the document is opend very fast (as expected). Using abiword instead of LO writer will open the document very fast, even in gnome desktop environment!

How to reproduce: 1. Close all other instances of LibreOffice 2. libreoffice --writer OR start a new Writer document in LibreOffice 3. new Writer window shows 4. Entire X Window hangs for 1-2 minutes (depending on the computer) but mouse pointer can be moved and changes shape depending on the place on the screen, no other applications can be used during this time This happens only for Writer, other components (Calc, Impress) are working as in Fedora 22. I tried to delete the entire profile in .config/libreoffice directory as well as disabling/enabling Java and hardware optimizations in LibreOffice options.

In my case it really depends on the particular machine, even though the Fedora setup (packages installed, configuration) is the same. At one of them the Writer start time was about 20-30 seconds, at the other - over 1.5 minutes. In both cases - much longer than LibreOffice 4.x. I am using standard Fedora 23 upgraded from 22 with Gnome 3 (no Wayland etc.) and LibreOffice 5.0.3.2. The .config/libreoffice directory was removed entirely and no special environment variables are set.

Yes, in my case Impress & Calc documents are opened instantly. I have just found a partial solution to my problems: setting SAL_USR_VCLPLUGIN environment variable to gtk3, namely: export SAL_USR_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3 libreoffice --write This speeds up things a lot (startup time decreased from 1.5 minutes to 10-15 seconds). However, Writer still starts slower than Calc or Impress. Any ideas? Maybe the problem is not tied to LibreOffice but the graphical environment (Gnome and GTK)?

I am sorry, I made a typo. The environment variable is named SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN. BTW, there are other values which it can take: gtk, gtk3, gen, kde4, see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LibreOffice Some forums advise to try all the values (I think that "gtk" is default under Gnome). Anyway, as I wrote before, it helps but does not solve the issue.

Tanks for the hint, bot only "SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen" gives a tiny improvement. Still the same effect with libreoffice-5.0.3.2-6.fc23.x86_64 if opening the already attached odt doc. Hhi, I noticed that the whole desktop seems to be frozen when starting LO Writer (even without an existing document), and that gnome-shell is using 100% CPU for about 5 seconds. I've opened bug #1285480 against gnome-shell for this. Not sure which is the culprit here, but it sure is annoying. its possible that some idle rework stuff that landed in master today addresses this. I'll have a look into ot libreoffice-5.0.3.2-10.fc23 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 23. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-8cdbd2bb12 I've also experienced this issue. I've tested libreoffice-5.0.3.2-8.fc23 and libreoffice-5.0.3.2-10.fc23 builds and don't see any notable change in my case. The lag I hit isn't that long, perhaps 4-5 seconds normally, but the GUI is unresponsive during that time. I never experienced this with the 4.4.x series on Fedora 22. (In reply to David H. Gutteridge from comment #19) > I've also experienced this issue. I've tested libreoffice-5.0.3.2-8.fc23 and > libreoffice-5.0.3.2-10.fc23 builds and don't see any notable change in my > case.

For me, the speed gain is only little bit palpable, and less than I expected. Both with LO-5.0.3.2-8.fc23 and LO-5.0.3.2-10.fc23 Only if LO is already running, then it seems that opening time is half-decent. libreoffice-5.0.3.2-10.fc23 has been pushed to the Fedora 23 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with $ su -c 'dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing update libreoffice' You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-8cdbd2bb12 Same problem: Black window during two or three seconds during opening running libreoffice-core-5.0.3.2-10.fc23.x86_64 (In reply to Didier G from comment #22) > Same problem: > > Black window during two or three seconds during opening running > libreoffice-core-5.0.3.2-10.fc23.x86_64 Having no black window, but still some delay. hmm, you know I wonder if the problem is the "Formatting" toolbar and that explains the speed diff from the readonly mode to normal mode. If I disable (view->toolbar->formatting) and re-enable it, then I get the suspicious lag I think. So seems connected to one of those elements (In reply to Caolan McNamara from comment #24) > hmm, you know I wonder if the problem is the "Formatting" toolbar and that > explains the speed diff from the readonly mode to normal mode. > > If I disable (view->toolbar->formatting) and re-enable it, then I get the > suspicious lag I think. So seems connected to one of those elements Checking this: disabling view->toolbar->formatting will indeed speed up LO a lot! https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/20349/ for upstream backport (In reply to Caolan McNamara from comment #24) > If I disable (view->toolbar->formatting) and re-enable it, then I get the > suspicious lag I think. So seems connected to one of those elements Bingo ! I did a test with view->toolbar->formatting disabled. In this case I have just a black window flashing half of second... If I re-enabled view->toolbar->formatting I have the black window during two or three seconds... I tested: libreoffice-core-5.0.3.2-11.fc23.x86_64 will do the right thing: Now the startup is appreciable. Thanks four your efforts! Same for me: libreoffice-core-5.0.3.2-11.fc23.x86_64 fixes the problem. Thanks for your job! Confirming it's fixed for me as well, thanks. libreoffice-5.0.3.2-10.fc23 has been pushed to the Fedora 23 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
Created attachment 1088911 [details] The odt doc making problems Description of problem: Having a simple odt file which takes a long time to open. The same file opens fast in F22 under LO 4.4.5.2-3 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libreoffice-5.0.3.2-1.fc23.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Double click on ODT-Doc 2. 3. Actual results: Don't see any progress bar during opening, then an empty LO desktop appears, then after some seconds, I see the doc. Expected results: Same performance as in F22 Additional info:
