Description Giuseppe Stoduto 2020-08-30 15:41:49 UTC 
In a new installation of TW mc it starts after some time.
This is due to the default host name setting which gives problems with this program
The problem occurs if there is a period in the host name
for example
localhost.localname
opensuse.home
they give problems and mc starts slowly.
while if you set a host name with
lacalhost-localdomain
opensuse-home

the problem does not arise

I've been experiencing this lately too, in 15.3 and TW. I too believe it has something to do with hostname, but haven't been able to put a finger on it.

This is made even more fun by using distrobox, which adds the container name to the hostname, so my actual working environment gives back the hostname of `tumbleweed-pkg.mitmanek.cepl.eu`.
