Hi, After installing a new system with 7.1 from scratch, upgrading kernel/system as well as ports to the current version I configured X-win (X -configure) and finally fired up gnome.
First of all, Gnome takes a LOT of time to get up - it takes almost 5 minutes (!) till I get the icons for "Computer", "Trash" and the icon for my "home" folder displayed. In /var/log/messages I see tons of the following messages: Jan 14 16:44:17 mybox gnome-keyring-daemon[977]: error connecting to D-BUS system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory Jan 14 16:44:17 mybox gnome-keyring-daemon[977]: Scheduling hal init retry Jan 14 16:44:47 mybox gnome-keyring-daemon[977]: error connecting to D-BUS system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory Jan 14 16:44:47 mybox gnome-keyring-daemon[977]: Scheduling hal init retry Jan 14 16:45:17 mybox gnome-keyring-daemon[977]: error connecting to D-BUS system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory Jan 14 16:45:17 mybox gnome-keyring-daemon[977]: Scheduling hal init retry Jan 14 16:45:47 mybox gnome-keyring-daemon[977]: error connecting to D-BUS system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory Jan 14 16:45:47 mybox gnome-keyring-daemon[977]: Scheduling hal init retry I'm pretty sure, both symtoms, i.e. slow startup of gnome and these error messages have something to do with each other... So here are my questions: o) Has anybody out there seen similar problems o) Anything that can be done against this? BTW, I'm running 7.1 with latest kernel & ports (see above) - 64bit (AMD64) architecture Thanks much in advance for any clue, -ewald _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
