Hi- I'm having a problem with LTSP clients having a strange 30 second delay before starting X. This is on RedHat 7.2 with ltsp_core-3.0.4-0 and ltsp_x_core-3.0.1-1
The client boots at runlevel 5, and gets to the start_ws line. Then the screen goes completely black for just over 30 seconds, then shows the expected X startup-- unitialized video garbage graphics for 1 second, default black and white dot pattern for a second, then blue GDB background and GDM login prompt. If I change to run level 3, the shell comes up immediately after the kernel is loaded. If I then run /tmp/start_ws, it reproduces the problem with the 30 second black screen followed by X screen initialization and GDM. 30 second delays always make me suspicious of resolver problems. While I don't know if that is the cause here, I do know I also have a resolver problem. Switching to run level 3, I can verify that no names resolve. The client nsswitch.conf has the default line: hosts: files nisplus nis dns I'm not using NIS, but not even "files" works! My client /etc/hosts has: 127.0.0.1 localhost <workstation-name> 199.165.142.10 server Ping localhost or ping server both give back the same error: ping: <whatever>: Resolver Error 0 (no error) Yes, everything works with IP addresses. I know this has come up on the list before, apparently unanswered as far as I can find in the list archives. Anyone have any clues? I appreciate any help.
