Description of problem: When I start the terminal some time it takes >2 min to start. I have noticed this with other apps as well however is most prevalent with the terminal. Seems to happen more and longer waits on high legacy networks such wireless with vpn. I have also noticed some network intense apps like synergy preform slow in F8. This bug should probably be filed under a network component however I am not sure if it truly is a network issue or what component to file under. Let me know if any addition info is needed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): f8 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 on a T42 thinkpad. 02:01.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EP Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Mobile) (rev 03) 02:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection (rev 05) How reproducible: pretty regularly Steps to Reproduce: 1.start apps on high latency network 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I've seen similar things on F8. For me, it triggers if I install gtk trunk. Someone suggested that it's gnome-session dying or something like that...
This is happening for me as well on a Thinkpad T60 ]~$uname -r 2.6.23.14-107.fc8 ]~$rpm -qa | grep gnome-terminal gnome-terminal-2.18.3-1.fc8
This is showing up in other apps as well while connected to a vpn connection...Image viewer and evince are very slow starting up. Same kernel as my above report.
Lets reassign to gnome-session.
Well it happens to me as well - when I start any application - especially when I suspend the machine in one intranet network with private names and wakeup in a different intranet network (where these names cannot be resolved - so it waits for some resolvement timeout) What helps me is to remove file: $HOME/.ICEauthority - as according to strace the gnome startup get's locked on some hostname resolution of the hostname which is present in the .ICEauthority file. I'm unsure if this is exactly the same problem - but maybe worth to try...
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
