I still don't get a clue what; wrong here and why this all happend. Hope
the information above will be helpful.
I have had KDE behave similarly when my LDAP authentication was screwed
up. There was an issue caused by a gnome library that was pulled in by
gnucash. This only affected KDE logins, not console logins. Are you
attempting to log in with a local user?
This same thing also happened to me once when the disk was full.
Cheers,
Paul
Good news here, I added
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
to my /etc/resolv.conf,logout and login,no pause before splash
appeared.Then I rebooted,/etc/resolv was automatically changed back and
the PAUSE came back. I then used the "chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf" command
to avoid resolv.conf being changed when rebooting.Rebooted and everything
is clear now!Thanks all for your advice!
