offline libreoffice
Fri, 11 Mar 2016 - 2:19 AM
Problem: when my laptop is offline, libreoffice freezes. When network is on, everything seems normal, when I shut down the network, libreoffice hangs.
This is the case on my laptop, I struggled with for some time, even purged and reinstalled the whole package, but still the same. I then pulled the ethernet plug in my desktop PC and got the same result.
Both PC-s are ubuntu 14.04 64bit. Libreoffice version is 4.2.8.2. build:2.
I just tested a second laptop (same config). Exactly same result: disable network and LO hangs.
I hope for help on this, need to be able to run libreoffice offline!

automatic updates
Generally speaking LO does not require internet access. Try turning off automatic updates as this option will cause LO to try and access the internet. Does the problem occur on opening LO or only when opening prior documents?

PPA variant
Thanks for clarifying. Ubuntu packaging likely removes this option as they prefer users to rely on PPA.

help with libreoffice offline under ubuntu 14.04
which leaves me with an unsolved problem. I figure I cannot be the only one experiencing this. Strange with so little response and few hits through google et al.
Thank you for your answer
Libreoffice was installed through the ubuntu repositories and there is no “TOOLS -> Options -> LibreOffice -> Update” option under the tools menu
