Subject: Slow logout with Gnome, FC3
Gidday,
I have a clean FC3 install here on an Athlon64 with an ATi Radeon (using standard 'radeon' driver). Most operations are nice and fast, except for logging out of Gnome.
When I select "log out" and confirm, I'm dropped back to the desktop which I can no longer interact with, and can only watch while the system takes two minutes before bringing me back to the login screen. I can CTRL_ALT_BKSPACE to kill X, and I can CTRL_ALT_F1 to a terminal during this time.
To state the obvious, memory usage is well below full, no disk activity occurs, and CPU usage is below 10% so it's not actually waiting on any machine resources.
Has anyone else had this problem?
thanks, Greg
I've seen that when name resolution isn't working correctly. Is the machine's hostname and ip address set correctly in /etc/hosts? Can it resolve itself in DNS?
