------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-23-09 16:28 ------- "you didn't say if you had rebooted or not." Buchan, have *you* tried mc immediately upon boot? That's an *absolute* requirement to see the problem at its extreme. Once a couple minutes or so have passed since boot, the delay is gone. So, yes, I did say, though implicitly, that I had rebooted, since that is how the problem gets seen at all. Buchan, I previously wrote here that the problem exists on many mdk 9.1 and cooker 9.2 installs. It happens/happened on EVERY one I've done, including several of cooker on one machine, and one or more on at least 5 other machines, including yet another of 9.1 only last night, and one that I personally did not do. It simply doesn't matter whether gpm is running or not on any of them. You're simply choosing to ignore that this is anything but an isolated incident, that so many installs can exhibit the same broken behavior. -- 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: UNCONFIRMED 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..
