 |
|
Hi,
there's a strange problem bothering me on my laptop. When it is plugged to my home network, everything is fine. But when connected to another network or with no connection at all, every KDE app (and the KDE startup itself) takes ages for starting up. Even a simple xterm needs about 10 seconds.
Any ideas, what's going wrong?
thx,
fallen |

I've heard of this before... KDE likes to do silly loopback network things or something like that.
I think the solution is make sure your /etc/hosts is set up properly - for a normal desktop all it needs is

127.0.0.1 localhost machinename

Thx, but /etc/hosts is set up correctly.
btw: I've heard about some problems with blocked ports, but there is no iptables/ipchains installed at all... |
