Q: I edited my network settings, and now GNOME doesn't work or is slow. Why?

Answer

Check your /etc/hosts file. It should have a line like the following:

{{

127.0.0.1      localhost.localdomain        localhost

}}

If this line is edited or omitted, GNOME may cease to function properly. Return the line to the file and your session should start quickly again.
