[libreoffice-users] Slow Opening of LibreOffice in Ubuntu

Hi All,

Tom has mentioned several times about disabling Java so LibreOffice 
would open faster. I started using LibreOffice when it first became 
available. It opened very slowly compared to OpenOffice. I ran across 
the following when I researched the issue. It was due to LibreOffice 
calling home when it was initially opened. I don't know if this still 
happens or not, but the following fixed this issue for me (running 
Ubuntu 11.04) and others who were having the issue back then:

/*Change hosts setting in hosts file for LibreOffice on Ubuntu 11.04:*/

/In terminal, do gksudo gedit /etc/hosts/

/Add line as shown below: For instance, *127.0.0.1 don localhost don.(none)
Originally it looks like this
*127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 galaxy
*Add a line so it looks like this:*
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 galaxy
127.0.0.1 galaxy localhost galaxy.(none)
*save*
*Now OpenOffice.org Writer and Calc open fast when the network 
connection is attached.*

For anyone new reading this, replace "galaxy" with whatever you have 
named your computer./
