Hello everyone,
I use Linux, different distributions, and different versions
of OO. There are two things that make OO famous:
1. It's a good aplication
2. Has a very slow startup, and that's not a hardware issue.
Everybody knows these two things. If it helps, i found the possible reason for
the slow startup :
OO tries to connect to the internet, and in order to do so it checks the IP
settings on the computer. If there is no available net device configured, or
the network is down for any reason, it starts up very quickly.
But, if it finds available net device, and the network is up, you must wait up
to 90 seconds.
Thats very stupid :
I have a working hardware, and working software, but it won't work fast, to
make it work fast you have to un-work the network.
TO SOLVE THIS : edit the /etc/resolv.conf, and comment (or delete) all lines,
and the problem is solved ! But, now you got yourself a new issue : you can't
use internet.
I wonder, why is OO connecting to the internet during every startup ? Machines
and applications should do what they are told, so if a user says "connect to
internet" then it should connect to internet. And then OO will startup slow.
Which is not good.
If a user says "do NOT connect to internet" then OO should NOT connect to
internet, and then, as I already explained, it wil startup very fast. Which
is good.
How can I prevent it from connecting to internet, is there a setting for
that ?
Thanks a lot.
Are you allowing OOo to automatically check for updates? I'm not, and
OOo starts up quite quickly. If you are, that is in effect saying
"connect to the internet" -- after all, how else can it check? This does
sound like a good bet for some startup delays.
