update: adding the above line does not have anything to do wiith the problem.
as said by Trond Husoe, the slowness is due to an unclean resolv.conf when no wired/wireless connection is established. it seems like when you're launching an application the computer tries to connect to the dns servers, but it can't, so the connection goes in timeout and the app is finally started. the problem is still present when using wicd to manage the network: in this case, however, you just have to click the "Disconnect" button and resolv.conf is cleaned up. Apps launch lag is immediately fixed. Unfortunately, NM does not have anything similar, just a "Enable wireless" button whose effect i ignore. in the meanwhile, i temporary use a shell script that cleans resolv.conf every startup, but that's only a workaround. is that right? another question: can anyone tell me why apps that don't have anything to do with the network, like gcalctool, are suffering of the problem? -- [/etc/resolv.conf] Extra slow login / app launch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78263 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
