LibreOffice Slow to Launch
by upnort from LinuxQuestions.org on (#50FH2)
Anybody else experience this?
This has haunted me for some months. Today I spent several hours digging around and trying different things.
I've gone through the gamut of testing various versions from 6.0.6 to 6.4.1. I am using the SBo RPM version. A tried Eric's 6.2.8 version. All fail to launch in less than 15 seconds. The slow launch is repeatable by flushing the disk cache. With disk caching launch time is about 1-2 seconds.
By testing the 6.0.6 version I was able to recover the old quick start option. That improves first launch considerably, but flushing the disk cache reverts the launch to 15 seconds or longer.
I ran strace but I am in over my head. I notice many EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) statements. The strace shows attempts to contact nscd but they seem irrelevant because I manually launched nscd and ensured the socket was available.
The slow launch is hardly the end of the world, but I feel like I'm back in the OpenOffice.org 1.x days.
I searched LQ and the web to no avail.
Slackware 64 14.2
Xfce/MATE
ASUS Z170-K motherboard
Intel Core i5-6400 Skylake 2.7 GHz Quad Core CPU
16 GB DDR4 RAM
On-board HD Graphics 530
WD WD2003FZEX Black SATA-III 7200 rpm 2 TB hard drive
WD WD1002FAEX Black SATA-III 7200 rpm 1 TB hard drive
Thanks! :)
