This probably isn't an NM thing. It's X being stupid with hostnames. You can't resolve hostnames, and thus X can't start because it uses hostnames as part of the libSM session stuff. Your machine probably got a hostname via DHCP when you had the cable plugged in, and thus when you unplug the cable, no DNS server, and since your hostname is only resolvable via the DNS server DHCP gave you... Make sure that your current machine hostname has an entry pointing back to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts, also see what xauth cookies you have, and gdb the hanging process and you'll see its stuck in the glibc resolver trying to resolve your hostname. I cannot remember the context, nor do I know if this is reproducible anymore. Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA (against myself ;) ). |
