This has been raised before but I have a bad problem with OO on FC3.
I
start it...the banner appears and the blue progress bar quickly goes
across to 100% - and then nothing happens for at least 5 minutes.
I had the same problem, 5-10 minutes, sometimes never.... Somebody mentioned
that it might be a network thing, that OO is waiting for a network
connection. I found the following suggestions:
- under options-Internet set the proxy to None
- do you have a network printer installed? If so, make a dummy local printer
and set that as default.
As somebody else mentioned:
- comment out all dictionaries that you don't need in
in /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/share/dict/ooo/dictionary.lst
Unfortunately, all these suggestions didn't improve anything. It did get a bit
better after I removed and reinstalled the rpms, but it's still terribly
slow.
Hopefully the next release will be much faster. There are snapshot rpms for
the development version on the openoffice webpage
(
http://download.openoffice.org/index.html). They don't conflict with the
existing OO1.1. but install a separate copy of OO 1.9. This version is really
much faster (and uses less memory), but of course it's development and more
risky.
Hope that helps
