Hi all,
I think it's a bit boring having emails on this list every week, 
complaining about the release being "missing" for 1, 2, 3, 4 months.
It is.  What I'd really like is step-by-step instructions to build 
from source.  Having finally got fairly frustrated (fuelled by 
comments like "fixed in build 140"), I started trying a few days ago, 
off and on.  It's not so easy.  My last attempt failed with:

even though I have

It comes from

if /export/testws/usr/src/tools/proto/opt/onbld/bin/i386/cw -_cc 
-_versions >/dev/null 2>/dev/null; then ...


which doesn't exist, /export/testws/usr/src/tools/proto is empty, 
although /opt/onbld/bin/i386/cw does exist.


I'll keep trying, but it ain'a that easy.

It seems like ipkg packages have been updated in release repository. Is 
this a preparation for new release? ;)

They are indeed interesting, but what  I find more interesting is that there are more X86 
platforms running linux then there are POWER platform running AIX and SPARC platforms running 
Linux/Solaris. when looked under "By Processor" from the top tabs"  SO, this 
makes me ask if POWER and SPARC platforms running AIX and SOLARIS are more superior then x86 
platform running Linux, then why are they not being used more to build supercomputers?

I believe reason is simple it is acceptable performace/price ratio for 
x86 hardware with regards to math calculations. You would not need all 
this visualization support provided by POWER and SPARC hardware and 
corresponding to them operating system for HPC. So why pay for something 
you wouldn't need?

I don't have a specific test for you to perform at the moment, but my
first instinct, when I read your initial post some days ago, was that
this was very indicative of a network timeout.  I'm not a gnome expert
by any means, so I'm glad Brian is helping, but I'd not give up the
network configuration angle as another possible configuration issue.
Especially since you mention you recently changed nsswitch.conf (and
friends).  Additionally, it occurs to me during Brian's
troubleshooting with you that that sort of thing (network timeout) is
often not logged with a default configuration, which is why you
wouldn't see it in any of the normal logs.  I suspect truss'ing would
eventually find the network timeout issue if that really is the
culprit.

One thing you can try to do, though, in the mean time, is try using
simpler (or older) versions of nsswitch.conf (try with just files or
dns).  If you recently added ldap for any reason, then I might even be
persuaded to put money down on a bet.
.



I removed the dns in the ipnodes entry (which is automatically added 
by DHCP which I believe is the NWAM). I rebooted afterwards and the 
same delay remains. I also noticed that the DNS was automatically 
added back efter reboot. Perhaps you could guide me on what service I 
should restart to make the changes of nsswitch.conf to take effect on 
Gnome without intervention of NWAM.


I have always used NWAM and DHCP even before this problem occurred so 
I don't think there is a problem in the nsswitch.conf that causes this 
problem and I have not added any entry for ldap as can be seen in what 
I provided in my previous post.


I also noted that the same delay occurs immedately after I relogin 
when I want to open up a terminal in Gnome. I click several times on 
several places to start the terminal. I get the "Starting terminal 
..." at the bottom of the screen but then it disappears and nothing 
happens. After a few minutes the screen i cluttered with many open 
terminals. From then on I can launch new terminals without delay. This 
only happens on occasion.

Hi,
can you revert /etc/hosts to default one? I've been running into similar 
issue on FreeBSD if mine /etc/hosts have missing some records, can't 
remember now that exactly.
