widgets loading before ethernet up

[dellji]

The weather widgets try to access the internet before my ethernet is up.  

Does anybody know how to delay the start of these widgets until the Ethernet is active?

Using KDE fully updated.

I've seen this on both ethernet and wireless. The fix is pretty simple, actually. As user root, edit the file /etc/sysconfig/speedboot. Find the line: (last line in the file)

SPEEDBOOT=auto

Change auto to no. That should correct it.

One could also edit the rc.local file in your /etc directory. (could be in the /etc/init.d directory as well - not on my machine right now )

Code: [Select]

sleep 30
program name of weather widget

Thanks, looks like it works.
I guess it changes my boot from parallel process to sequential from what I read.

Yes, sir. You are correct.
