XDM Hangs During the Boot Process
Support knowledgebase (uli_xdm)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: All versions
Symptom:
During the boot process, XDM seems to hang but then continues after a
while.
Cause:
The cause is the file /etc/X0.hosts, belonging to xhost, that contains
unknown hosts or blank lines. During the boot process, XDM tries to
resolve these names and
sends a DNS request. Then it waits until an
answer is received or until the timeout expires.
Solution:
List only local known hosts in /etc/X0.hosts and do not enter any
blank lines.
