Re: Black screen before login

Sorry about my ignorance, some conventions I don't know well (yeat), but "virtual console" means a command line in Terminal?
If it´s correct, I should do this:

tail -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Thanks.

Yes, but the computer is not connected to the LAN. Here is the hosts
file:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 blaster
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts


That looks OK.

Is there any log file to look for?
Thanks.

The X server logs to /var/log/Xorg.0.log, while clients log to
~/.xsession-errors. You could try a 'tail -f' on those files in a
virtual console and see if you get a long pause at a particular line.

Hi list.

I have some computers running Debian, and one of them (pentium
300mhz, 396 MB RAM), in the starting, before the desktop login
appears, a black screen appears for 3 minutes. The hd doesn't work
during this black screen. I tried other desktop (IceWm, blackbox)
and the result is the same. Does anyone knows what could be wrong?
In others list, a user of a pentium 200mhz said it's loaded
instantly in that machine. Any information will be welcome. My
thanks in advance.

Could be a DNS issue. What is the hostname of the machine which
exhibits the delay? Is there an entry for that name in /etc/hosts?
