LibreOffice Writer slow start

My LibreOffice 4.1.4.2 is kinda sluggish when starting considering that my Arch is installed on SSD. It takes ~9 seconds to start. Progress bar stops at the letter 'b' of the splash screen and just idles. Running it from the terminal doesn't show anything missing or out of the ordinary. There is no noticeable CPU usage while starting, SSD LED doesn't even turn on.

Launch LibreOffice from a terminal and post the output.

Did you try this?

I also have a SSD and it takes less than 2 seconds to start writer.

Re: LibreOffice Writer slow start

I don't know how or why, but the issue resolved itself. I did not update or install anything new. Thanks for answering.

:EDIT2:

Not solved LibreOffice Writer is still slow to start like before. LibreOffice Calc starts almost instantly, like it should.

Re: LibreOffice Writer slow start

I experience a 15-20 second delay when I specify a file to open on the commandline (no output is given, and no cpu or hard drive activity appears to be occuring)

With no filename given, libreoffice opens instantaneously.

This is with an SSD (does that really matter?) and occurs regardless of whether or not I use the --calc or --writer options.

Re: LibreOffice Writer slow start

Try adding these 2 lines to your hosts file:

127.0.1.1 your_machine_name
127.0.0.1 your_machine_name localhost your_machine_name.(none)

Hope this hlep.
