Public bug reported: When opening a document with Nautilus, Libreoffice starts opening, then takes around 30 seconds on the Logo, waiting for the DNS server to reply to an invalid DNS request. The request looks like this: hostName.(none)
Dumping the TCP request when opening Libreoffice: root@hostName:/home/bea# tcpdump -nnl -i any -s 1536 dst port 53 tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on any, link-type LINUX_SLL (Linux cooked), capture size 1536 bytes 12:06:05.996614 IP 192.168.1.100.55538 > 192.168.1.1.53: 22376+ A? hostName.(none).

(41) WORKAROUND: adding that invalid DNS name into your /etc/hosts file fixes the problem: root@hostName:/home/bea# cat /etc/hosts ... 127.0.1.1 hostName.(none) ... As this bug has been reported and closed multiple times with annoying reasons (for instance: 'there is no openoffice support any more' - LOL, but the source is the same dude!!), please, take a short time and check and fix this now. Many people are complaining about this on forums and hacking the hosts file themselves. I MUST be fixed in the distribution. (please, do not bother me with questions, like: ok, have you got enough ram/cpu/disk/screensize... have you known that you can disable logo... is it always like that... the answer to all these questions is: YES).
