LibreOffice takes 30 seconds to start. OO started almost immediately [closed]












5















Installed LibreOffice, no problems but when I click on LibreWriter it takes 30 seconds before it's ready to go. I played with Memory in Options, no improvement. I unchecked Java, no improvement.

  • I'm voting to close this question as off-topic for two reasons: 1. It is a bug, and should be reported if it still occurs. 2. It is an issue with a much older version of LibreOffice, and the answers would be of little use to current users.

Only applicable to older versions (pre-6.x)



Try using the systray quickstarter. Openoffice most likely is, and that is why it starts immediately.

    This is a known problem, at least on Arch Linux.



    The problem is that LibreOffice tries to communicate with a WINS server (provided by Samba, I guess). If you do not have such server LibreOffice waits until the packets time out before continue loading.

      Open a terminal and run



      libreoffice


      and post back the output from this into your original question.



      On my Toshiba U400 laptop (3Gb ram, 2Ghz CPU), that command completes in less than a second with no output to the terminal. I have, like you, unticked "Java", but otherwise, it's pretty much a stock install from the Libreoffice PPA outlined at OMGUbuntu.

        I had the same issue with LibreOffcie and OpenOffice all the years ago and thought this was normal. However, since a few days the program start within 3 seconds now.



        One of the recent Ubuntu upgrades fixed this.



        I am using the stable distribution (12.04)
