linuxrhi, can please someone help me with libreoffice? It's become unusably slow since the upgrade to 20.04..thanks18:38
hellsworthI can try to help you linuxr. Are all of the libreoffice apps really slow for you or is it one in particular?18:41
linuxrhellsworth, seems to be both calc and writer...even switching the window to another app and back to calc/writer takes 3 sec18:42
linuxrmoving the cursor to another cell in calc..1 sec...it's really annoying18:43
linuxrand worked flawlessly on 18.04 (same machine)18:43
hellsworthok. is this the snap or the deb?18:43
hellsworthdoes `snap list` show libreoffice in the list?18:43
linuxr"snap list" does not show libreoffice no18:44
hellsworthok what version do you have from dpkg -l | grep libreoffice ?18:45
linuxr1:6.4.4-0ubuntu0.20.04.118:46
hellsworththank you18:46
linuxrall the latest updates on 20.04 are installed18:47
linuxrif I only knew what libreoffice is chewing on..I just notice cpu usage spikes at every operation18:48
hellsworththanks for the report. there is a recently filed issue that sounds similar to yours too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1888186 18:49
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1888186 in libreoffice (Ubuntu) "LibreOffice Writer unusably slow" [Undecided,New]18:49
seb128linuxr, what desktop environment do you use?18:49
linuxrhellsworth, for me, calc is also affected18:50
linuxrseb128, mate-desktop18:50
hellsworthseb128: the bug was filed about this issue on the gnome desktop too18:50
hellsworthit is interesting that it happens on mate too though18:50
linuxrmate is also gnome based I think18:51
hellsworthlinuxr: would you mind adding your situation to the bug? include as much detail as you can like.. does it always happen? as soon as you open calc or does it start to lag after some time? anything else you could think of that would be helpful..18:55
seb128linuxr, would be worth trying with a new user account on the same machine to see if it has to do with some local setting18:56
linuxrhellsworth, it's lagging right from the start..even startup seems slower than before18:57
linuxrseb128, I cleared the libreoffice profile data, mode no difference18:57
seb128linuxr, could be a session setting, the theme in use, some input method...18:58
seb128there is still value testing a new user18:58
linuxrseb128, you're right, I'll just try that now18:58
seb128it's not impacting lot of users or we would have more reports, so it's likely something specific18:58
seb128thanks18:58
linuxrseb128, I created a user, but "libreoffice" just does nothing...do I need to add the user to certain groups?19:02
seb128no19:04
seb128that's weird, did you start a session for it? does it hang or just return?19:05
seb128what about e.g libreoffice --writer?19:05
linuxrI just tried to run it from a terminal in my other users session19:05
linuxr--writer the same..just hangs, but no cpu activity or output..strange19:07
linuxrahh..apparmor seems to block this19:12
linuxror something like that..damn19:14
hellsworthlinuxr: you should be able to just run libreoffice from the terminal of any user and have it come up19:24
linuxrhellsworth, yeah I managed to do it now..same result :/19:26
hellsworthinteresting19:26
linuxractually..its not precisely the same19:30
hellsworthmore interesting... can you try to elaborate?19:31
linuxrcalc is still slow, but at least switching between windows doesn't take any extra time19:31
hellsworthso you open up a new spreadsheet and immediately see lagging when scrolling?19:31
hellsworthor are you opening some .ods file?19:32
linuxrI started with an empty spreadsheet and yes, it's lagging from the start..when moving the selected cell using the keyboard arrows..first the row marker on the side gets updated, then the actual border around the cell19:34
linuxrannoying19:34
hellsworthi haven't been able to reproduce yet so can you tell me if there are any suspicious libreoffice logs in /var/log/syslog?19:36
hellsworthis this on bare metal or a vm?19:36
hellsworthwhen did you notice the lagging start? (like when you updated to 20.04?)19:37
linuxrhellsworth, bare metal, no vm19:47
linuxrright after the upgrade to 20.04...I did a "release-upgrade", no fresh install19:47
hellsworththanks linuxr for your help.. i'll see if i can reproduce it in the same env20:14
linuxrhellsworth, cool, let me know if I can try anything else20:15
seb128linuxr, could you report a bug using ubuntu-bug libreoffice and add a 'journalctl -b 0' after triggering the slowness20:19
seb128also worth checking in top the cpu usage20:19
