It is bug-feature I think. As I understand it is dns resolving problem. mc try to resolve local ips. You may put it into /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.2 myhostname -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Slow startup of mc From: Abdul Halim <sagikliwon@xxxxxxxxx> To: arch-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Mon Dec 29 2008 14:38:04 GMT+0300 (MSK)
Hi. I just found out that mc (midnight commander) in extra repository is buggy in a sense that it will take around 7 secs or more to start. This happens to me on several machines. Other distro are reporting this issues too: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?24038 To resolve this issue, I have downloaded mc-mp from community which is more stable. I am suggesting that mc to be removed from the extra repo since it is an unstable version of mc. Regards. archlinuxsagi
