https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=405081 Summary: sm-notify on boot hangs machine if networking fails Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jnelson-suse@jamponi.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- If for whatever reason networking fails (DNS is down, network card not working, firewall not up yet or misconfigured, etc...) sm-notify will hang the machine on boot. The manpage for sm-notify says that it will hang the machine for up to 15 minutes per host that it needs to contact - in my case that would be a 15-30 minute wait. There is no reason why this can't be backgrounded. When troubleshooting network issues it's no fun to have to walk away for 15-30 minutes every time you reboot (or more). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
