I also have a similar problem (slow start-up) with gnome 2.30. In my case gnome-panel stops for some time (30 secs ?) then outputs a message to the console and then everything is ready to accept input. I can't attach the output message now.
In my /etc/rc.conf I just added hald_enable="YES" dbus_enable="YES" and then created '.xinitrc' in ~ with the following line exec gnome-session I start everything with 'startx'. This way I can see error messages on the tty, where 'startx' has been launched. I can not say where debug messages are sent once you also enable gdm. d > Date: Thu, 10 Jun 2010 08:14:18 -0400 > From: m.e.sanlit...@gmail.com > To: a...@jenisch.at > CC: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: Gnome startup awfully slow (7.3, gnome2.30) > > On Thu, Jun 10, 2010 at 7:18 AM, Ewald Jenisch <a...@jenisch.at> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > On my system (FreeBSD 7.3 AMD64, system & kernel current as per today) > > it takes awully long to start up gnome (2.30) - "awfully long" meaning > > 2-3 minutes (this is on a Intel quadcore-CPU with 4GB RAM!) > > > > In my /etc/rc.conf I've got > > > > gnome_enable="YES" > > > > I've already ruled out the usual suspect being a missing/wrong entry > > in /etc/hosts (http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q20); my > > hostname ist resolvable including reverse-resolution, plus I've got > > the entries in my /etc/hosts. > > > > Is there any way to speed up gnome startup - or at least a pointer as > > to where I can start looking for the cause of the problem? > > > > Thanks in advance for any clue, > > -ewald > > > > > One possibility may be that X system is trying to auto-detect your hardware > which is taking time . > Checking X configuration files and making them conforming to your hardware > may eliminate this possibility . > > Thank you very much . > > Mehmet Erol Sanliturk > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Powerful Free email with security by Microsoft. https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969_______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
