Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 67864
Specific presentation-file opens VERY slow on some Linux-machines.

Open the attached file on any Fedora Core 5-machine. In comaparrison with a machine with for instance Suse, the difference in time it takes before the file is opened, is extreme. Seems to be independant of how fast the machine is.
Created attachment 38101 [details] Impress-file.
FWIW.. On Fedora Core 5 with OOo 680m178 or 2.0.3 takes < 10 seconds.

FWIW... On Fedora Core 5 with OOo 2.0.4rc1 takes 4.5 seconds (including time to start and close application).

Changed the title since I've been able to reproduce this one also on another linux-machine. (this time with Suse) WG has today also complained about the same problem. (he waited 6 minutes until he gave up) I therefore change the target on this one to 2.2, and P3.
Seen again in both m1 and m191 (on Suse). Now even causing crashes. Set to P2.
cl: can you please process this?
pjanik: peace of cake the problem is in the settings.xml. For example <config:config-item config:name="GradientTableURL" config:type="string">file:///home/autotbo/StarOffice8/user/config/standard.sog</config:config-item> is an absolute reference to the office installation inside the home directory of the author. During load the office try to open all these urls, which does not work except on the system of the author. It looks like recently our network changed so that failure is reported with a huge latency. You can verify this by removing all entries with such urls from the settings.xml. In never versions we do not have this problem anymore since on export we do not use absolute path for such files. cl->frederikh: just remove the path from the settings or resave the document in a current version solves the problem
fredrikh: can you confirm cl's findings?
Oh yes! I'm very satisfied. What used to take a minimum of 15 seconds, now happens in less than one. : ) Perfect.
Closing.
