Hi, |
| 2 |
From previous concersations I assume a lot of folks here use KDE. I |
| 3 |
run mostly stable and just updated to kde-4.10.5 which included an |
| 4 |
update to kdm. It now seems that I'm plagued by a more than 2 minute |
| 5 |
delay from entering my password until KDE flashes up the box showing |
| 6 |
that KDE is starting up. Once KDE is up and running everything seems |
| 7 |
normal. There are no messages in /dev/log/message that identify any |
| 8 |
problems. Just a 2+ minute delay before much of anything occurs. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Here's a small snippet of message showing the basic delay: |

I Googled around for a while and got curious about whether this was |
| 38 |
really a KDE problem so I emerged xfce4. It has the same 2 minute |
| 39 |
issue so this appears to me more of a kdm issue as best I can tell |
| 40 |
right now. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
It's not anything obvious (to me) with networking delays as I can |
| 43 |
sit in the console and ping web sites. No delays there. I got back to |
| 44 |
the GUI and it's just waiting. I ran iotop in a console and there's |
| 45 |
nothing going on. The machine is just hung for a couple of minutes. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
This just started in the last couple of days with this month's KDE release. |
