Hello everyone, I use Linux, diferent distributions, and diferent 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 : 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. -- Mirce Vladimirov www.betako-soft.com.mk Ulica Nikola Parapunov 3a/26 1000 Skopje Macedonia Tel/Fax +389 2 5202 822 Mobile +389 75 281 332 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
