Re: [Bug 128521] Re: GNOME applications delay to start
Hi Pedro Let me know if you'd like me to dig further and figure out what it's doing. The use of an entry in /etc/hosts that says 127.0.0.1 hostname is a bad practice in TCP/IP, it would be nice if Ubuntu did not have to do this.

Status in gnome-system-tools source package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: When I set a domain name for my computer through network-admin, every application that had to do with gnome itself, and gtk libraries (such as gnome-terminal, xterm, or Open Home Folder) delayed very much to start. I searched it, and I found out that in /etc/hosts the name of my computer (my host name) was removed from 127.0.0.1. I added it again, and everything went back to normal (all applications started in good time). -- GNOME applications delay to start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128521 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 128521] Re: GNOME applications delay to start
I ran into the same problem on Ubuntu 7.10 / 64 bit ... looks like some kind of funkified host lookup. Note that it is considered very bad TCP/IP practice to put your own hostname on 127.0.0.1 Ubuntu seems to do a hack and add a line for 127.0.1.1 to /etc/hosts, which I removed as being also non-canonical IP networking - I put it back for now. I am planning to deploy a DNS server on my home LAN which, I suspect, will tame it, but it would be good if the developers removed this lookup from the code. -- GNOME applications delay to start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128521 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also hope that the delay during loading desktop is fixed, and I can confirm that it is encountered only in Gutsy, and not in Feisty neither in former versions. -- GNOME applications delay to start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128521 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 128521] Re: GNOME applications delay to start
I want to make sure I have this straight. At the top of /etc/hosts, it should look like this: 127.0.0.1localhost 127.0.0.1::mycompnamehere:: before I changed it to that, I had long app loading time. Before I changed it, the line next to my computer's name was: 127.0.1.1::compnamehere:: I am hoping this should fix the long delay when loading the desktop after login. -- GNOME applications delay to start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128521 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 128521] Re: GNOME applications delay to start
I also encountered this bug. It is extremely annoying and difficult to find the fix to it. Besides delay when opening applications from the gnome menus/desktop, I also had long delays when openning the midnight commander from terminal or just the midnight commander editor (mcedit), some strange delays / random freezes while editing messages in Evolution - all fixed when I added the hostname back to the hosts file. All this started when I was trying to get samba to work, so I guess I added the workgroup in the network-admin, however I wasn't able to reproduce the bug this way again. Anyway, it's very easy to reproduce the bug by simply deleting your hostname from the hosts file. -- GNOME applications delay to start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128521 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can't even think of a logical reason why your hostname should get removed from the 127.0.0.1 line :-) -- GNOME applications delay to start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128521 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 128521] Re: GNOME applications delay to start
I use Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn, but I also encountered this error in Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft. To reproduce the bug, start network-admin go to the General tab, and set a Domain name. Then, try to start an application such as gnome-terminal, or try to open Home Folder form the Places menu. You will notice the delay until the application starts. Check /etc/hosts to see what happened there.

Thanks for your report. So you are suggesting that there should be some protection against the localhost line getting removed from there? ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None = gnome-system-tools -- GNOME applications delay to start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128521 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
