------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-17-09 17:38 ------- Ok, it seems to be caused by "connect (..., "/dev/gpmctl)" which is taking 2 minutes to timeout.. Are you sure your system is not busy doing something else or than network is already working properly ? Running top in another console might be helpful.. It could be also a gpm problem.. Try running /etc/init.d/gpm stop before running mc to see if this fixes the problem.. The way startup is done now is causing X server to be displayed before all services are started and running.. -- 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..
