http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1179034 Bug ID: 1179034 Summary: Multiple instances of LibreOffice from separate machines (shared homedir) not working Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.2 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: LibreOffice Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: ericj@mcalvin.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Description: If I try to open another instance of LibreOffice on another machine (with my home directory shared via NFS), when one is already running, the second instance only flashes the LibreOffice splash banner (like it is stuck in a loop). In another environment that I have, which is running an older version, 6.1.5.2-lp150.2.10.1.x86_64 (this is an openSUSE 15.0 Leap package in both environments), it works correctly by first telling me that another instance is accessing my personal settings, and asking if I want to continue. Note that if I start libreoffice on the second instance in safe mode, it works. I have already reset my libreoffice profile and that did not correct the issue. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start LibreOffice on machine A (homedir is on NFS) via 'libreoffice' command. 2. Start 2nd instance of LibreOffice on machine B (homedir is on same NFS volume) via 'libreoffice' command. Actual Results: 2nd instance won't start, looks to be stuck in a loop and just showing the splash/banner over and over. ps shows that oosplash is spawning soffice.bin over and over again (PID changes for soffice.bin but not oosplash during every iteration of the splash banner flashing). Expected Results: LibreOffice shows warning 'Either another instance of LibreOffice is accessing your personal settings or your personal settings are locked.... Do you really want to continue?' Selecting 'Yes' allows you to start the 2nd instance LibreOffice. Reproducible: Always Additional Info: -LibreOffice profile was reset but it did not correct the issue. -Starting libreoffice --safe-mode allows the 2nd instance to start. -disabling openGL did not fix the issue. -Both machines are openSUSE 15.2 Leap (x86_64) with the libreoffice package from that distro. (6.4.5.2-lp152.2.3.1.x86_64) -This problem started somewhere between 6.1.5.2-lp150.2.10.1.x86_64 (NOT BROKEN) and 6.2.6.2-lp150.2.16.1.x86_64 (BROKEN) (and problem still exists as of 6.4.5.2-lp152.2.3.1.x86_64). NOTE: The LibreOffice RPM Distribution directly from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ does NOT have this bug. I tested 6.4.5.2 x86_64 on openSUSE Leap 15.2.
