            Bug ID: 342462
           Summary: KDE starts delayed if internet is not accessible
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Slackware Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: soenke.kraft at sackpfeyffer-zu-linden.de

System: KDE 4.10.5; Slackware64 14.1; Kernel 3.17.4
Hardware: AMD and Intel x86_64-Processors, nvidia- & Ati-Graphics cards (nvidia
with nouveau open source or nvidia proprietory driver, Ati with radeon open
source driver)

Linux boots into console. KDE is started by entering the "startx" command:
KDE normally starts if the computer has access to the internet during KDE
start.
KDE starts with a delay of 10 to 20 seconds if the computer hasn't access to
the internet during KDE start. Only a cursor is blinking below the entered
"startx" command during the delay if the computer hasn't access to the internet
during KDE start. KDE starts with normal speed after the delay. The delay is
about 10 seconds if /etc/resolv.conf only contains nothing or one
"nameserver"-entry with the IP-address of local router. The delay is about 20
seconds if /etc/resolv.conf contains a "search"-entry. A KDE program tries to
access the world wide root-servers if /etc/resolv.conf doesn't contain any
"nameserver"-entry.

KDE 3.5.10 (Slackware64 13.0; Kernel 2.6.39.4) normally starts in same hardware
& network environment.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot Linux into console.
2. Start KDE without internet access and measure the time between pressing
<Enter> after entering "startx" and the first appearance of the X-window with
starting KDE splash screen.
3. Start KDE with internet access and measure the time between pressing <Enter>
after entering "startx" and the first appearance of the X-window with starting
KDE splash screen.
