Assuming you are using openSUSE 10.3, have you tried using the "waitfornm" service ? I've never used it but, it's description is "delays network services till the network is brought up from desktop".

He needs it the other way round. Notice that he can not bring up the desktop if there is no network, as he uses NFS for home. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

i have the users mount their home directories via nfs. while the network is not up yet when the loginscreen appears the users can login even though their home dir is not mounted which leads to a freezing system.

how can i make the loginscreen wait until after network connection has come up.

Strange, it should be doing that already because of this line:

,---- | # Required-Start: $remote_fs

this is maybe because nfs is mounted by a script rather than by fstab

in /etc/rc.d/xdm. Maybe you can add nfs explicitly to see if it makes a differences:

,---- | # Required-Start: $remote_fs nfs

i tried this, though it did not work. maybe i do have to change the order in rc5.d using insserv?

Certainly! But use "chkconfig" instead. Maybe ever remove/insert xdm. The order change should be automatic, once you run that script.

is does work now. i had to make earlyxdm depend on nfs, not xdm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
