Hi list
While hunting down slow startx times (12-16s instead the usual 2-5s)
I found that "hostname -f" tries to resolve the hostname. This is a
slow process (timeout?):
Normally this is a fast process. See my results below.
urs@cadd ~ $ time hostname -v
gethostname()=`cadd'
cadd
real 0m0.001s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.001s
user@puter ~ $ time hostname -v
gethostname()=`puter'
puter
real 0m0.003s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s
urs@cadd ~ $ time hostname -v -f
gethostname()=`cadd'
Resolving `cadd' ...
Result: h_name=`cadd'
Result: h_addr_list=`127.0.0.1'
^^^^^^^^^
Does your computer only have an IP address for your localhost?
cadd
real 0m10.011s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.001s
user@puter ~ $ time hostname -v -f
gethostname()=`puter'
Resolving `puter' ...
Result: h_name=`puter.local'
Result: h_aliases=`puter'
Result: h_addr_list=`192.168.44.32'
puter.local
real 0m0.005s
user 0m0.003s
sys 0m0.003s
What is the recommended way for /etc/hosts? I'm at a simple home
network, behind a NAT cable modem, and do not have a dns domain name.
What is the content of your /etc/hosts file?
This is my hostfile:
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
192.168.44.32 puter.local puter

Hi Wabe
IP changes dynamically, is assigned by Networkmanager with dhclient use
flag.
I changed /etc/hosts as Mick/Michael pointed out in an other reply, and
this solved the slow response. Here the relevant part of the corrected,
working /etc/hosts:
# IPv4 and IPv6 localhost aliases
127.0.0.1 cadd.homeLAN localhost
::1 cadd.homeLAN localhost cadd
Thanks for your time looking into it and the hints.
Urs
