Hey,

This has been a problem for me since at least 10.1 (now on 10.3), and it's always been the same. When SL gets to "Decoding Images", it just hangs. Well, I recently found out it
doesn't hang, but just takes ages.

Here is the excerpt from the terminal,

2007-12-16T13:14:42Z INFO: idle_startup: viewer: UserLoginLocationReply() Enabling 64.129.46.42:13006 with code 268184226

Notice that "last ping 481.264 seconds ago". After that, it just goes onto "Connecting to region", and then just hangs. I'm on wi-fi, but on Windoze, this isn't a problem, and sometimes SL just starts perfectly on Linux anyway, but hasn't recently.

Has anyone else had this problem? (Where SL takes ages then just hangs?)

Many thanks in advance,

Kevin.
