I had two lines in hosts set as 127.0.0.1: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 mylaptop
I changed it to: 127.0.0.1 localhost mylaptop My issues disappeared. My issue popped up when I'd try to shutdown the box. Go to System->Quit and it would take about 10 seconds to pop up the shutdown dialog. -- [feisty] Slow gnome application startup due to /etc/hosts misconfiguration https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94048 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-desktop in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
