After the latest Maemo 51-1 distro upgrade, Openoffice.org seems waaaay faster. It's ready to work in 50 seconds instead than 5minutes+

Video

I have at least one confirmation from dcarter of this new responsivity of the UI. Please test and confirm, because I'm not sure that the new Maemo 51-1 distro version is the independent and only cause of this.

If proven true, we must thank some unknown developer in Espoo, who modified something (what?) in order to make ooo fly!

Ernesto, I am so jealous of your fast OpenOffice. My N900 takes as long as ever to start OpenOffice, even under 51-1.

After update to PR1.1 I got a fatal error on starting openoffice ('user interface language cannot be determined' fatal error) - odd, but a quick search turned up http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=586455 and I chowned openoffice.org to user:users and all was well. I got the same speedup as Ernesto, much, much faster after the update.

Very happy bunny. Used ooo on n810 extensively and now the expected speed is there from the n900...

Not at the moment, but Easy Debian is very easy to install.

I'm sorry for that, it's a jest (an arrow of outrageous fortune ) that just the device of the man wh brought us debian, openoffice and all those goodies refuses to work properly.

I don't know if the flasher image of 51-1 is already there, but might be the time to start over with your Maemo rootfs... Out of curiosity: is the device you kept the one you got in Amsterdam, or a more recent one? Might the problem stay in hardware??

I agree. On my N900 I made a shortcut to "debbie ooffice" (not on LXDE but on the Maemo application menu). It takes me to the Welcome to OpenOffice.org screen in about 15 seconds (or less). It then takes about 40 seconds from when I click on the Writer button until it is ready for me to type. Performance is definitely not that bad.

Ooo when called directly with debbie office is even quicker, but there are problems. Try to click the "text color" button and when you get to the color chooser, there's no way to get out and back to the text.
Or, I didn't find an obvious way. Someone wants to try and find how? Thank
