Running just X also hangs in the same way, so its X that's giving the problems. I am not running gnome btw, I'm running FVWM (gnome is too slow,heavy and not configurable enough). Also running wdm gives the same problem and its not starting .xsession or gnome-session so thats not the problem. > Assuming it starts quickly, next you want to type: > $ export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 > > $ gnome-session (or enter the name of your wm's main app) > > If what I think the problem is is right this should be slow to launch, so > exit it (not X just the wm) and this time on another console run 'netstat > -c' This will show all network connections and refresh them every few > seconds. then relaunch your wm and see does any new datagrams or streams > open up in netstat, esp ones that sit in a state of 'SYN_SENT' You are > going to get a few going no further than /tmp/.orbit-root, I'm fairly sure > they will be streams, they are what gives gnome its network transparency, > even local only connections open up sockets. > Thats what I think the problem is, gnome is trying to open up a network > socket to somewhere. > > > > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
