Startup lingering

Flame Flame Questions
1

When starting up, Flame goes through a process:
Executing command: …/bin/sanitize_shared_SynColor_transforms
Preserving ./project_name_4ND_5H1TL04D_0F_H3X4D3C1M4LS…
Preserving ./project_name_4ND_5H1TL04D_0F_H3X4D3C1M4LS…
Preserving ./project_name_4ND_5H1TL04D_0F_H3X4D3C1M4LS…
Preserving ./project_name_4ND_5H1TL04D_0F_H3X4D3C1M4LS…
Lingers for several seconds on each directory. Apparently even deleted projects have such named directories that are still checked.
Network licensed Mac machine, didn’t happen when the same machine had a node-locked license.
Any way to get rid of this time consuming process or the folders themselves?
Thanks

@Sinan Possibly a DNS issue? This exact thing has started happening on our Flames at the same time our DNS/DCHP server died.

Thanks for the input we’ll look into that. Though it seems to be related to SynColor setups on the local machine.

I wonder if it’s OK to just delete the folders that are being accessed.

Thought I’d drop an update if it helps at all, as it seems i’ve solved my startup lingering.

I stood up a new DNS server last night on a new IP and set Flame’s resolv.conf file to point to it. Flame is now starting without hanging. When I comment out the DNS IP to simulate no DNS server, it starts to hang again.

I did notice some weird stuff happening though, I think it’s the Network Manager Service…

When I restart the network or the machine resolv.conf resets to a previous DNS IP address.
I had to update the IP then use chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf to make the file read only (if you need to write to it again use chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf to remove the immutable flag).
Also needed to add PEERDNS=no to the ifcfg file for my network interface.

Hope something in there helps!

Thanks for the update. I bit the bullet and removed the sym-links to the remote directories and system check just went through. Though using Flame will create new links, so I will try the more elegant and technically correct way of doing it. Thanks again @Collict

Hi!
Sorry to revive an old thread but I had the same issue and thought I’d share my solution if anybody else comes across this.

Here’s how we managed to solve it on macOS Monterey:
System preferences → Network → Select “Ethernet 1” → Advanced → DNS
Under DNS-servers click the little + and we added the IP to out router as the first entry.

I’m no network expert so I can’t describe what this does, but as far as I understand it this forces the computer to ask the router for a DNS instead of having it automatically assigned. Or something :smile:

Hope this is of help for somebody!

Cheers
