Rick - can you verify that your machine hostname is listed in your /etc/hosts file? It should appear similar to this:
127.0.0.1 localhost macbook 127.0.1.1 macbook If your machine only shows localhost on the first line try appending your hostname. This has been shown to make a difference. Also, are you running the 64bit kernel? 32bit? What Ubuntu release and kernel version are you running please? ** Changed in: Ubuntu Status: New => In Progress -- Launcing programs from gnome is very slow. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/93447 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
