Comment 10 for bug 72346

Yes, "ping localhost" works fine. Also "ping HOSTNAME.DOMAIN" works fine. But a lot of programs are starting with a long delay. I have noticed, that some programs don't have this delay, eg. NX Client.

This bug is also reproducible on Feisty Fawn alpha LiveCD. Just boot the CD, have wired connection via dhcp, change the domain name, and unplug the connection. After few seconds, applications starts about half a minute. There is clearly visible that ubuntu loads some data from CD, after that there is a long pause of waiting, and after that it loads some more data from CD and application finally pops up.
