------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-09 20:19 ------- Created an attachment (id=728) --> (http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/attachment.cgi?id=728&action=view) strace of mc I have no idea what anything in this means, but I must remind that this problem is manifested on at least 5 different machines, and also that waiting after boot seems to have a 1 to 1 relationship to startup time reduction. IOW, don't start mc for a couple minutes after booting, and it will start right up, just like it should immediately after boot and login. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEEDINFO creation_date: description: mc startup has actually been fubar since at least 9.0, possibly before that, but I can't remember. I haven't stopwatched it, but if started immediately upon 1st login after boot, it must be taking at least one minute, a seeming eternity, both in 9.1 and 9.2rc1. Upon entering mc at shell prompt, the screen is blanked, cursor goes to bottom left, and nothing happens for a while. Eventually, some liblow error messages quickly scroll up the screen too fast to read, and mc becomes ready to use. Hardware is rather old, P200 for rc1, with 128 MB RAM & PCI graphics card, but immaterially better on K6/2-500 with 256 MB RAM and same graphics adapter for 9.1, and on a P3-450 with 768 MB RAM and G450 graphics adapter..
