LibreOffice Not displaying MS Office Thumbnails
I'm having trouble getting MS Office documents thumbnails to display. They just display the default "Word, Excel..." icons, instead of the document .png. My setup is FileRun in a Ubuntu VM with LibreOffice installed on the same VM. Things I've done already to fix:
1. re-install Libreoffice on the VM
2. Checked path to LibreOffice in "Thumbnail/Preview" in Control Panel
3. Ran troubleshooter upon right-click on MS Office document > control panel option (output is below..)...
4. Made sure user www-data owns LibreOffice, & /home/files/ directory
Thank you for your assistance.

Try to copy the command from the log (the line stars with "Running:") and run it manually from the server's command line and see its output.
I get a return of:
Error: source file could not be loaded
Make sure you have all libreoffice packages, particularly "libreoffice-writer", installed. What is the LibreOffice version you are using?
LibreOffice 7.0.4.2 00(Build:2)
I've just installed "libreoffice-writer" & rebooted server. When I run the log command from the command line, I get:
Error: Please verify input parameters... (SfxBaseModel::impl_store failed: 0xc10(Error Area:Io Class:Write Code:16) /build/libreoffice-muaG6z/libreoffice-7.0.4~rc2/sfx2/source/doc/sfxbasemodel.cxx:3153 /build/libreoffice-muaG6z/libreoffice-7.0.4~rc2/sfx2/source/doc/sfxbasemodel.cxx:1735)
Okay. I uninstalled LibreOffice 7, and installed LibreOffice 6.4. Rebooted. Changed permissions as in my original post.
The log output looks normal:
If I upload a new MS Office document via the web dialog, the thumbnail appears as it should. The MS Office documents ALREADY present DO NOT display a thumbnail (even after refresh).
Do I need to dis-provision the /home/files directory entirely? and, then re-provision it? in order to get the server to apply the correct thumbnail rendering process?
The existing files will show a thumbnail eventually. FileRun waits a while after a failed attempt at generating thumbnails for a file.
Thank you Vlad! The thumbnails are showing up, just slowly. I would consider this topic resolved. Thanks for the help.
