In my case g= nome-panel stops for some time (30 secs ?) then outputs a message to the co= nsole and then everything is ready to accept input. I can't attach the outp= ut message now. In my /etc/rc.conf I just added hald_enable=3D"YES" dbus_enable=3D"YES"=20 and then created '.xinitrc' in ~ with the following line exec gnome-session I start everything with 'startx'. This way I can see error messages on the tty=2C where 'startx' has been lau= nched.=20 I can not say where debug messages are sent once you also enable gdm. d > Date: Thu=2C 10 Jun 2010 08:14:18 -0400 > From: m.e.sanliturk@gmail.com > To: a@jenisch.at > CC: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: Gnome startup awfully slow (7.3=2C gnome2.30) >=20 > On Thu=2C Jun 10=2C 2010 at 7:18 AM=2C Ewald Jenisch wrote= : >=20 > > Hi=2C > > > > On my system (FreeBSD 7.3 AMD64=2C system & kernel current as per today= ) > > it takes awully long to start up gnome (2.30) - "awfully long" meaning > > 2-3 minutes (this is on a Intel quadcore-CPU with 4GB RAM!) > > > > In my /etc/rc.conf I've got > > > > gnome_enable=3D"YES" > > > > I've already ruled out the usual suspect being a missing/wrong entry > > in /etc/hosts (http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q20)=3B my > > hostname ist resolvable including reverse-resolution=2C plus I've got > > the entries in my /etc/hosts. > > > > Is there any way to speed up gnome startup - or at least a pointer as > > to where I can start looking for the cause of the problem? > > > > Thanks in advance for any clue=2C > > -ewald > > >=20 >=20 > One possibility may be that X system is trying to auto-detect your hardwa= re > which is taking time . > Checking X configuration files and making them conforming to your hardwar= e > may eliminate this possibility . >=20 > Thank you very much . >=20 > Mehmet Erol Sanliturk > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe=2C send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd= .org" =20 _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Powerful Free email with security by Microsoft. https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=3D60969=
