Heh... Well, good morning to all in the list.
I've run into a silly issue with loading xorg+gnome. I've split the process in three stages. 1) Loading xorg (startx). This stage works as expected and takes ~1 second. 2) Insanely long delay. This stage is weird and takes ~12 minutes (have measured it several times, though slightly imprecise). 3) Loading Gnome 2.20. This stage works as expected and takes ~1 second. After the third stage everything works fine and smooth and near-instantaneous (quite opposite Windows :p ) The second stage (the insanely long unexplainable delay) takes the mentioned ~12 minutes. There is no harddisk activity at all. The only thing I have is a black screen and the black'n'white standard X-cursor (though it does react instantaneously on mouse movements :p ). Does anybody know where to look for information useful to find the problem. I haven't found any logfile with any information related to this weird delay, which of course is consistent with the complete lack of harddisk activity.
