[Solved] Opening template extremely slow (few min.)

Hello,
I'm a bit confused, all my clients are complaining about a macro that doesn't work anymore. I've tested and they're right. Any idea why these lines doesn't work anymore ?
Code: Select all
def transcription2calc(*args):
path = 'file:///home/bastien/Bureau/toto.ott'
args = (PropertyValue('Hidden', 0, False, 0),)
desktop = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDesktop()
desktop.loadComponentFromURL(path, "_default", 0, args)
I precise that I can no more open a template file .ott.
Clients that haven't upgraded their ubuntu session haven't this bug. I have this bug on Ubuntu 19.04 and LO 6.2.3
EDIT: I just realize that 10 mins later it has open the template (wich BTW contains only the string 'toto')

My notes indicate that /Tools /Options /Macros /Organise Macros /OpenOffice Basic /OpenOffice Macros : ImportWizard is a set of macros that converst from older OO formats to the more modern ones.
I cannot offer any help with this, other than to indicate that this set of macros exists; I do not know how effective they are.

Hopefully I found a solution, quite radical.
Code: Select all
apt --purge libreoffice*
apt --clean
apt --autoclean
apt --autoremove
and a complete reinstall did the trick!

Check the version of Python it is using.

Error, it is slow again after one first normal opening. Now it keeps beeing slow (more than 5 minutes) to open a very small file.
How do you check the python it uses?

This macro, which I found with a quick search, claims to show the OO Python version; tyhere may be (probably are) other methods
Code: Select all
# Print Python Version used for the LibreOffice pyUNO scripting framework
def PrintPythonVersion( ):
"""Print the version of python"""
import sys
#get the doc from the scripting context which is made available to all scripts
model = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDocument()
#get the XText interface
text = model.Text
#create an XTextRange at the end of the document
tRange = text.End
#and set the string
tRange.String = "python version:\n " + sys.version
return None

I got the :
python version:
3.7.3 (default, Apr 3 2019, 05:39:12)
[GCC 8.3.0]
which works fine on an other machine.
The DEBUG output hangs on :
Tue May 28 19:39:05 2019 [DEBUG] PythonScript.invoke (0,)
Tue May 28 19:41:58 2019 [DEBUG] PythonScript.invoke ret = None
What does it mean?

Anyway, this problem is not related to the python script above. Libreoffice hangs on opening a simple template, whatever template it is. I really have no clue to debug this.

Just reinstall every thing and it works but I didn't find the reason of this failure.
