nmap localhost
I thought I'd reported doing all of those things in this bug already, but
perhaps I haven't made it clear. I am writing this in real time, i.e. as I do it.
1. Reboot, fine
2. ifconfig lo shows
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:2696 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:2696 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:135276 (132.1 KiB) TX bytes:135276 (132.1 KiB)
3. ping localhost, 127.0.0.1, kallisto all work fine.
4. network-admin, deactivating wlan0 and reactivating it.
5. Problem is repeated: Many programs take around 5 minutes to load. However,
the programs that were ALREADY open before reproducing the problem are running
fine, hence firefox (this window), evolution and gnome-terminal are working ok.
6. ifconfig lo now reads:lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:2703 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:2703 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:137016 (133.8 KiB) TX bytes:137016 (133.8 KiB)
7. Pinging myself gives:
matt@kallisto:~$ ping localhost
PING localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
--- localhost.localdomain ping statistics ---
12 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 11001ms
8. Resolution:
$ sudo ifdown lo
$ sudo ifup lo
matt@kallisto:~$ ping localhost
PING localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.073 ms
64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.065 ms
64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.069 ms
It seems relatively clear that network-admin is messing up my lo device and
gnome can't find my hostname right? Hope this helps.
yours, Matt
