 Posted: Mon Mar 18, 2013 5:59 pm Post subject: [solved]Startx slow and networking too |
 |
|
I'm getting about a 20 second delay after typing startx. I think it's hanging on something like "xauth: /mnt/archive/Users/Andrew/Desktop/archive/.serverauthXXXX does not exist." *concerning this, i moved home to another partition by editing /etc/passwd, could that be causing problems?
cat /etc/passwd | grep andrew
| Code: | | andrew:x:1000:1000::/mnt/archive/Users/Andrew/Desktop/archive:/bin/bash |
cat /etc/fstab | grep sdb2
| Code: | | /dev/sdb2 /mnt/archive auto defaults,noatime 0 3 |
Following that, once X (xfce) loads, it's another 60-120 seconds before my network 'works.' I have a static lan IP.
I think the two may be related. I've gone over my networking related files over and over, but I can't seem to resolve it.
/etc/resolv.conf:
| Code: | # Generated by net-scripts for interface eth0
nameserver 68.94.156.1
nameserver 68.94.157.1

# scripts in /etc/init.d. To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /usr/share/doc/openrc*/net.example* and save your configuration

dns_domain_lo="nanohome"
config_eth0="192.168.1.55 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.1.255"

dns_servers_eth0="68.94.156.1 68.94.157.1"
|
/etc/conf.d/hostname:
| Code: | # Set to the hostname of this machine
hostname="desktop"
|
/etc/hosts:
| Code: | # /etc/hosts: Local Host Database
#
# This file describes a number of aliases-to-address mappings for the for
# local hosts that share this file.
#
# In the presence of the domain name service or NIS, this file may not be
# consulted at all; see /etc/host.conf for the resolution order.
#
# IPv4 and IPv6 localhost aliases
127.0.0.1 desktop.nanohome desktop localhost
#::1 localhost
#
# Imaginary network.
#10.0.0.2 myname
#10.0.0.3 myfriend
#
# According to RFC 1918, you can use the following IP networks for private
# nets which will never be connected to the Internet:
#
# 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
# 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
# 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
#
# In case you want to be able to connect directly to the Internet (i.e. not
# behind a NAT, ADSL router, etc...), you need real official assigned
# numbers. Do not try to invent your own network numbers but instead get one
# from your network provider (if any) or from your regional registry (ARIN,
# APNIC, LACNIC, RIPE NCC, or AfriNIC.) |

Let me know if any additional info is required.
SOLVED EDIT:
1) startx slow solved by changing /etc/hosts to:
| Code: | 127.0.0.1 localhost desktop
::1 localhost desktop |
2) network starting slow fixed by installing linux-firmware and rebooting.
Thanks #gentoo (irc.freenode.net)!

aim nano,
A line in /etc/hosts | Code: | | 192.168.1.55 desktop.nanohome desktop |
might help, so the systems real IP address resolves to itself.
Xorg really does talk to itself over the network.

In addition to the line I already have? Or replace it?
| Code: | | 127.0.0.1 desktop.nanohome desktop localhost |
***Edit*** Well I tried both ways: commenting out the existing lines AND adding an additional line. Neither seemed to work.
Crazy thing is it all works fine after ~20 seconds for startx and ~60+ for networking/dns/etc. I just can't figure out what's hanging it up.

aim nano,
It was intended as a new entry. You need the localhost entry too.
What does show?

desktop.nanohome
(that's with my original /etc/hosts, since i reverted after trying those two other variations)

(strace must be installed, of course. It has a log facility with system call
timestamping options.)
You likely need a kernel/userspace that is not slow as well as one that
is slow to compare strace logs and see which system calls are taking a long time
to return.

Fixed the startx issue by editing my /etc/hosts as follows:
| Code: | 127.0.0.1 localhost desktop
::1 localhost desktop
|
But it still takes my network about 2 minutes to load after boot. Any ideas what's taking it so long with a static config?
Edit:
New info via dmesg...could this be causing my network to come up late? It's not slowing my boot-up at all, but my network definitely isn't available as early as it should be:
# dmesg | grep 8169

Could be worth seeing how things improve with firmware installed. |

... for people getting here from Google,
For me the issue was that I had not set up the system's hostname (hostname -f gave Unknown host). For some reason, in this situation X was slow to start, and only when DNS was unavailable. echo localhost >/etc/hostname solved the issue, given that /etc/hosts maps localhost to 127.0.0.1 and ::1. |
