You have been subscribed to a public bug: Running the 7.10 beta desktop livecd on an IBM xSeries 255, I set the sole ethernet interface to have a static IP. A status window popped up advising me to wait, and when it went away after a long wait the network configuration tool became unresponsive and had 15-30second delays between repainting its contents.
I straced the tool's pid (thank you for including this on the livecd, btw!) and saw that it is in a non-stop polling loop trying to read a nonexistent /root/.gnome2/network-admin-locations file. I'm not positive that this is the cause of the refresh lag, as the tool became a little more responsive after the strace began, but it does seem like a problem. ** Affects: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Assignee: Ubuntu Desktop Bugs (desktop-bugs) Status: Incomplete -- network tool goes into busy loop trying to read nonexistent /root/.gnome2/network-admin-locations file on IBM xSeries 255 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148614 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
