Hi all,
I upgraded to SuSE 8.2 Professional a couple of days ago. Well done SuSE! This is poetry in motion!
I have one problem: Open Office is really slow. I mean, really really slow. Screen update seems to be the culprit. If I click on the "open" button, the frame of the dialog box appears, but it takes a good 20 or seconds before anything gets drawn in it. Similarly, in the register dialog box, I clicked on "never register" and it took a good half a minute before it made the selection and I could click on "ok."
Typing also lags big time. I can type a medium length sentance before it starts appearing on screen. There's no unusual hard disc activity, and cpu usage stands still while this waiting is going on.
I replaced the default 1.0.2 with 1.1beta from www.openoffice.org, result is the same.
Could this be a java problem (I heard recently that OOO uses Java for its gui, is this true?) or a display problem?
Hardware is a athlon 1.5ghz, 256mb ram and nVidia graphigs. nVidia driver is installed, eveything else works like a charm.
Hi Hans, I've got the same problem with OpenOffice running slowly on My PC. This is made far worse if I run the setiathome client. -- David Bottrill david@bottrill.org
