X takes to long to show after gdm login

[Nhestor Balingit]

I installed hoary on a IBM T30 thinkpad, after apt-get update, and apt-get
dist-upgrade, my X takes too long to show up after gdm login. here are the logs
at /var/log/xorg.0.log

Um, by the time gdm starts, X has already loaded. X is the base system for all
graphics, so when your machine flicks out of text mode and you first see a black
screen, the X server is already running.

yes, but it takes me over 5 minutes before the splash screen comes out. i dont
understand.
a freshly installed hoary has no problems, but when i upgrade all packages, this
problem comes out.
i had no problem with this when im using xfree.

It also contains loads of (over 4000 when I grep -c -H'ed):

Possibly related, possibly unrelated, but nautilus and gnome-panel end up eating
all my core and need to be kill -HUP'ed.

[Jonathan Jogenfors (etnoy)]

I have the same problem, and from I log in on GDM (which goes very quick to
startup) until I get my GNOME desktop there's probably a 30min delay. In the
meantime I get a lot of the following in my X log:

No process is taking any resources, running top in the console shows no cpu usage.

I am running ubuntu breezy, system is updated up to the 27 sept 2005.

[Jonathan Jogenfors (etnoy)]

Oh, by the way. I have a Dell Latitude D266XT laptop with a neomagic graphics card.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

is your loopback correctly configured? What does "ping 127.0.0.1" do?

[Jonathan Jogenfors (etnoy)]

Loopback is a very probable solution. I'm not at home right now, but I know that
lo has had problems when booting, and that this all feels like a network timeout.
I will check this out as soon as I can.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Could you follow up on this, so we can probably close the bug.

yeah. my bad. definitely an interfaces misconfig. all is working now.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Marking NOTABUG.

[Jonathan Jogenfors (etnoy)]

Yes, sorry for my delay. It was an interfaces problem. But shouldn't it be
better if GNOME could send a warning if 127.0.0.1 isn't found? Just a message
box before everything starts?

a dialog explaining what it is doing would be nice, that's a duplicate of
