This is all it tells me :

500: ~> localc ttc-rider-85-15.xlsx
  (soffice:16654): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_window_set_icon_list: icons too large
  (soffice:16654): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_window_set_icon_list: icons too large
  NVIDIA: failed to execute `/usr/bin/nvidia-modprobe -u`: Permission denied.
  Terminated

[back to me] These are the permissions for the latter :

  -rws--x--- 1 root video  29384 Mar 26 23:43 nvidia-modprobe

These are the last lines in  Xorg.0.log :

[back to me] On the LO screen the read bar goes halfway, then stalls.

Thanks for the feedback so far ; more wb welcome (smile).
