Hi,
Netscape 4.77 (on Redhat 6.2) is *suddenly* starting very slowly: it
takes up to 5 or more minutes until he loads the local start file --
the whole Netscape window is nearly empty during this start-up process
(all I can see at this time is the "Stop" Button at the beginning --
but even this button can disappear if i move to another window with
the mouse and then come back to netscape).
This situation is new: Netscape started went very fast the last weeks
before these problems now ...
I'm not aware of having changed any configs for netscape the last time
(except having started resp. shut down its Java-stuff)
links, lynx and w3m here do not have any problems to start.
I did a
$ strace -e trace=network -o strace-netsc.pid netscape-communicator
and attached it below (slightly shortened where possible)
as far as I understand the output of this log Netscape is looking for
a "/var/run/.nscd_socket" which actually doesn't exist - nscd is
installed, but not started ....
(is there a way to stop it looking for this nscd_socket, and how can I
do this?)
Same problems, whether I start Netscape bound to Junkbuster via
localhost:8000 or bound to no proxy with direct connection to the
Internet ....
I reinstalled Netscape after uninstalling it and removing the user
files for it, to no avail ... has anybody had this situation before,
too?
Thanks in anticipation,
and my apologies for this long message.
Wolfgang
