Gnome very slow to logout (Slackware 10.1)

moffen · 05-17-2005, 11:42 AM

I am the new happy user of Slackware 10.1, but I have a very annoying problem.

When I am in Gnome, and push (Action/Logout), nothing happen in about 1 minute, and after 1 minute I got the next dialog to really logout. Why does it take so long? and how can I fix it?

It looks like the gnome-panel freezes, but it's only in the minute where nothing happens.

Can I see some messages anywhere?

In KDE it logout without any wait time.

Please help.

Fixed by myself. I have to put this line in rc.firewall:

iptables -A INPUT -s 127.0.0.0/8 -d 127.0.0.0/8 -i lo -j ACCEPT

Well I found it in this guide:

That's something with loopback, not my best site of knowledge there :-S
