Re: [Gramps-devel] Query on Gramps startup time - latest debs packaged version - related to net connectivity

[Jon C. <jo...@go...>]

Done some simple testing - freshly installed gramps using sudo apt-get 
install gramps

Ran Gramps - it worked fine, advised about updates.

Then didn't do anything except close Gramps.

Disabled the network and ran Gramps - again, absolutely fine.

So then mangled the iptables somewhat, so that all traffic went to a 
'dead end
server that would however accept a connection', and I get the delay again...
