Description of problem: after new installation of FC6 emacs *with or without* X starts up extremely slow. So slow that it is pretty much unusable. This is new. I have been using Fedora since its first release and new had this problem before. I really need emacs to work properly. I found on the web to add (modify-frame-parameters nil '((wait-for-wm . nil))) to .emacs. This does not solve the problem Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 21.4-17 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emacs 2. emacs filename 3. emacs -nw filename Actual results: takes more than 30 seconds to start (in X mode and in no-X mode) Expected results: starts within ~1s Additional info: this is new in FC6

You can get rpms from http://people.redhat.com/coldwell/bugs/emacs/176171/FC-6/ Chip
Hi, me again. I thought the bug was fixed this week after an X (x-server, ..) update that was released. However, it seems to be back. It worked for several days. This is quite annoying. It comes and goes. Wolfgang
Ok, what I noticed is that the speed seems to be related to the WEP key enabled wireless networking. Whenever I start emacs (X or no-X mode) with wireless and WEP key enabled it's slow. On a nework w/o WEP key it's fine. Is there anywhere a selinux or firewall switch/flag I need to change for emacs? Thanks, Wolfgang

Can you try reproducing your problem using emacs -q --no-site-file if that is also slow, can you also try emacs-22 which is available for FC-5 and FC-6 at: http://people.redhat.com/coldwell/emacs/fedora/ You can try to identify where the slowdown is comming from by running strace...
This problem was fixed within the last two weeks or. One of the more recent upgrades did fix the problem. Which one? I wish I new. This problem had been bothering me for several months. Unfortunately, I have no idea how the problem was fixed. Sorry. Thanks for all the suggestions, Wolfgang
Had this problem with CD install of Fedora Core 6 with current updates. Emacs file emacs-21.4/etc/PROBLEMS lists: >>* Emacs startup on GNU/Linux systems (and possibly other systems) is slow. >> >>This can happen if the system is misconfigured and Emacs can't get the >>full qualified domain name, FQDN.
