RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
LibreOffice wouldn't start with --quickstart. Just the splash screen appears, no progress indicated.

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run soffice --quickstart
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
lo wouldn't start

Additional info:
There is no LibreOffice component for Rhel6, so I'm filing this issue again OOO.org.

lo strace

strace -o lo.strace soffice --quickstart

lo hung up

looks like it does start, except the splash screen doesn't go away.

    accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.
    
    New Contents:
Cause: new faster startup helper not aware of the systray feature

Consequence: activating the systray feature from the command line caused the splashscreen to not be closed

Fix: extend the startup helper to be systray feature aware

Result: activating the systray feature from the command line now results in the splashscreen closing when the application has completed startup
