It sounds rather like a computer that doesn't know its hostname, or its IP address. So can you elaborate on how you "fix" the address. For example, my /etc/hosts file on ahost contains at a minimum: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 ahost.corp ahost # 192.168.1.123 ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters and the router's DHCP server issues 192.168.1.123 when asked by a PC with ahost's MAC. (All other hosts' /etc/hosts files contain 192.168.1.123 ahost.corp ahost) > Strange thing: If I login from the host into the host by using > > "ssh -X -l myusername 192.168.2.101" > > then soffice is starting at once and without any break. > > For searching the reoson of the break, I also tried to start soffice by using > strace, but that gave me no clue. > > Reinstallation of Libreoffice and purging ~/.config/libreoffice* did not help. > > Maybe, the is also related to this: Sometimes, but not everytime, Libreoffice > pops a window up, telling, "....it does not find a proxy network script..." > > I checked, there is no proxy set, neither in the operating system, nor in > Libreoffice itself.
