Public bug reported: When I try to load system-config-printer, it takes tens of seconds to load. Any interactions take many more seconds, to the point that this utility is unusable.
When I strace initial loading, here is what I get: socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 16 setsockopt(16, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0 setsockopt(16, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEPORT, [1], 4) = 0 setsockopt(16, SOL_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, [1], 4) = 0 fcntl(16, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 fcntl(16, F_GETFL) = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR) fcntl(16, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0 connect(16, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(631), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "::1", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=0, sin6_scope_id=0}, 28) = -1 EINPROGRESS (Operation now in progress) fcntl(16, F_SETFL, O_RDWR) = 0 poll([{fd=16, events=POLLIN|POLLOUT}], 1, 250) = 0 (Timeout) poll([{fd=16, events=POLLIN|POLLOUT}], 1, 250) = 0 (Timeout) poll([{fd=16, events=POLLIN|POLLOUT}], 1, 250) = 0 (Timeout) poll([{fd=16, events=POLLIN|POLLOUT}], 1, 250) = 0 (Timeout) ... IPv6 is disabled on my system: ezyang@sabre:~$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6 1 This pattern seems to repeat whenever the interface hangs.
