Hi folks. I have an gentoo-desktop box, with kde-3.5.5 running under 2.6.18 kernel. Last week, I upgraded the kernel to the 2.6.20 version, and the kde takes a whole eternity to start, and another to run any program. I use nis(ypbind) and nfs(the home folders) to log on my network.
How did you upgrade your kernel? First things first, check your setup for anything obvious. I don't know much about KDE but I've seen problems like this with gnome when the machine's networking is not setup correctly. Check your /etc/hosts and hostname to ensure they are correct (not that upgrading your kernel should affect them). Do a diff between your configs to check nothing untoward has changed. Also capture and diff dmesgs from booting each kernel. Finally, check your network interfaces with /sbin/ifconfig. If that doesn't show anything interesting you will need to try and isolate the cause of the problem. Login as a local user on the console. Do a "ypcat passwd" and confirm that the command completes quickly and the user information is correct. If so then your network and NIS are fine. Next do an "ls -l ~<user>" with your NIS user name. If that completes quickly and shows your home directory then NFS is fine. If that all works fine then we are back to KDE. Next step I would suggest is strace'ing it to see what it is delaying on. See how you get on with the other stuff first. Cheers, Duane Griffin. -- "I never could learn to drink that blood and call it wine" - Bob Dylan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
