Hello everybody.
Yesterday, my computer installed from testing last networkmanager version, 0.7.998-1. It worked OK until I shut down my computer.
This morning, I cannot get any single program to be launched in gnome, even xterm using alt+f2 dialog box.
After I downgraded to version 0.7.2-1, all was again working. I opened a bug : http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/17743
Did anybody see the same problem or is it my computer ?
I noticed the same thing today when I upgraded... Downgrading seems the current solution.

aynone noticed that the hostname and /etc/hosts has been changed? its the first thing that comes in your eyes.(hostname)
Yep, my /etc/hosts file was definitely changed:
# # /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names # 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname> 127.0.0.1 arch 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
That additional line at the start is definitely not mine...

FYI I was having trouble with networking several years ago and had a /etc/host like yours. I posted to usenet and the network gurus there promptly busted me for that layout. They told me to do this instead: #<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname> 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 127.0.0.2 arch.<yourdomain> arch They claim that the above conforms to the RFC's and reusing the 127.0.0.1 address can confuse some apps. I have been using the above and it has always worked, no busted apps.
