when boot is done and switched to X11 I get major time delays due to graphic init (as far as I can tell).

I installed kernel 2.6.32.9-67 via a yum update this morning. When I rebooted, the machine appeared to freeze with a single blinking underscore cursor. I used a live CD to edit grub.conf and reboot into the old kernel, which started normally. Later, I tried booting into the new kernel via grub again. After about two minutes, the blinking cursor is replaced by the normal boot screens and the machine works fine. This is on a seven year old PC with AMD Althon XP 2000+, 768MB RAM, VIA KT400 chipset and the NVIDIA 173xx driver from RPM Fusion.

The strangest thing is that if I press keys (any of them) it goes faster (about 1 minute). There are no errors or other things which might be the reason for such a behaver.

View 11 Replies View RelatedAnybody notice a slowdown in their boot times? I have had F11 (64 bit) running for about three days and it is taking twice as long to boot as when I first installed. I have not done much other than configure my wireless printer and change a few icons. I have Compiz cube effects running but I did that right away and it made no difference in my system speed. If anything I thought I should be booting faster after disabling a few things in the start up menu that I dont need.

After I upgrade fedora from 14 to 15 on thinkpad T510, it takes a long long time to boot up@~~~ .I look at the boot up prompt, it just stuck at the network service part.... for about 4 minutes!!!I followed thread url.
After I did
# echo "options iwlagn 11n_disable=1" >/etc/modprobe.d/Intel-80211n.conf
# reboot
I am able to use my wireless now, but when fedora15 is boot up, it does not auto connect for me, I need to connect the wireless myself.
Here is what I find. During bootup, it stuck at Network service part for around
[fanw@f14 ~]$ systemctl list-units --failed

I'm using Fedora 12 since 2 years lately, I really enjoy this S.O., it's quite robust and wonderful, but a couple of months ago it is really slow to boot up when startup the computer, I've checked everything, but seems to be ok, I had a partition lost arround that date, but recover successfully, it happens when I run gparted that It cannot see partition on my 500 GB disk, but still boots up. When running Mandriva live cd, it can see (?) all partitions on that disk, even with Fedora Dolphin I can access this partitions. What could it be?

ok I I figured out why the long time to boot.I have here installed glassfish and I add a Line on /etc/hosts like that:
Code:
[vinny@vinny-fedora ~]$ cat /etc/hosts

#127.0.0.2 vinny-fedora
::1localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

If I comment the last line, the starting is normal. But without this line I cant start up Glassfish. is there another way to sat my hostname?
After a new Fedora 12 installation, i cannot automount my Windows partition. My system is setup originally at windows XP ,partitioned, then change to Fedora 10. Change to Fedora 11 through update.System very slow.
I decided to upgrade to fedora 12 by DVD installer, then i have to mount manually to access my back-up, when typing su -c '/sbin/fdisk -l' at terminal, this is the code:
I'm running a dual partitioned (Vista / Fedora 11 x86_64) Intel X25-M Mainstream SSD.
Whilst Vista boots in about 15 seconds, Fedora takes around twice as long; in fact far longer than Fedora 9 on my old Western Digital Raptor drive.
Is this to be expected, or might I have some sort of configuration problem? Has anyone else had similar experiences?
I've been a long time Windows user, but I've started a small firm and because of lack of funds, I've decided to install Ubuntu on my company's PCs.I have 8 PCs in total - 6 of them with Intel CPUs, and the last two with AMD CPUs. I bought the extra two computers because I've managed to find an extra two people to work at my company, and AMD-based PCs are cheaper so I've decided to buy them instead of Intel.Long-story short, I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 and boot time takes about half-an-hour. After the computers finally boot, USB hardware doesn't work at all. I was forced to buy PS/2 keyboards & mice and they both work fine after the PCs boot.I don't know what's causing this delay.I've enabled Cool 'n Quiet from BIOS.I've tried several instructions like editing the /etc/modules file.I've installed cpufreqd, tried to configure it, but it didn't work.I've check the CPU stats and my CPUs are running at 800MHz. I can't believe nobody managed to fix the 800MHz problem as I've noticed it's quite common among AMD Ubuntu users. I think I've tried almost anything that I've found on this forum.I can't keep asking my employees not to reboot their PCs. Both Chrome/Firefox crash a lot on Ubuntu so they're forced to restart their computers.The computer specs are: AMD Athlon II X2 240 dual-core @ 2.800MHz, 2GB RAM, 500GB HDD, etc.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've got two laptops running Ubuntu. Both have had Lucid installed from the live cd. I have upgraded one of them to Maverick. Both distributions are running great after they boot up, but I haven't experienced any faster boot times with either distibution. Both boot to Bios and then the screen goes black with a blinking cursor in upper left corner of the screen. The black screen remains for 30 to 45 seconds and then I get the Ubuntu splash screen for maybe 5 seconds, and then desktop. Why am I not seeing faster boot times? I realize 45 to 60 seconds is good compared to other os's, but I anticipated much faster boot times. Shut down on the other hand is quite fast at maybe 5 to 10 seconds. Does anyone else get this black screen on boot? Seems like wasted time cause I can't tell what's going on during the time there is a black screen. This is not a real big deal breaker, as I don't reboot very often, but I just wonder why bootup isn't faster.

After keying in my passwort at the login, it takes exactly 26sec until the Desktop is ready. I have checked bootchart and it seems that the udisk-daemon is blocking the boot process for some reason. I have tried different disks, different memory, without dvd...always the same problem.
Last thing I did, was to put in the disk into another pc, different mainboard different proc and voila, it boots very quickly.
I suspect this to be due to my mainboard or proc.

I have a Dell Workstation T3400, dual core 2.6Ghz CPU. Recently I upgraded UBUNTU from 9.10 to 10.04. After the upgrade, it takes long time to boot up. First shows a blinking hyphen, then a screens with options to enter configuration utility appears. Then says GRUB loading but again blinking hyphen stays for almost a minute. Finally, I get the log in screen after about 2 minutes.... I checked some other related posts but could not find any solution that worked for me.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been noticing that my ubuntu 10.04 takes too long to boot lately, and now that I've upgraded to 10.10 and had the same issue, I took few minutes to investigate. from what I understand from the log files, it looks like my hard drive takes too long to mount, actually 40+ seconds to mount...
below is the section I mentioned above from my messages log:

I'm running 10.10 on an IBM Thinkpad R60 with 3GB RAM. I did a clean install of 9.10 and 10.04, and recently upgraded to 10.10. With all three, I'm noticing mething rather strange; after passing the PC's BIOS screen, I get a flashing cursor for about 20-30 seconds before Ubuntu starts booting. When I did the clean installs, I completely erased the hard drive, so I'm not sure what's causing it. The hard drive activity light is on when this happens, as well. It's very strange, as I have an old Dell Dimension 4550 with a slower hard drive and less RAM than the Thinkpad...yet it boots up faster, with no flashing cursor.

I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on an older PC (for some reason 10+ locks it up) and it takes a really long time for it to boot up. After the motherboard screen passes, I see the blinking cursor on the screen like it's loading, but it takes about five minutes until it finally boots to the OS. This isn't native to Ubuntu, it did the same thing with Mint. The PC was never this slow to boot up before, but I hadn't used it in about a year. Originally, I had WinXP and Ubuntu on it and it always started up pretty quick. Would this be a hardware problem or something else?

I can't (don't want to) install it on my main hard disk, since I already have Ubuntu 11.04 and Windows 7 installed there and it's getting a bit too crowded.

View 4 Replies View Relatedi was very cautious in installing 11.2; i had previously evaluated sled10sp3, it was great but for some reason it never connected to a dhcp server to get the internet. my fear from installing 11.2 was that i blindly trusted lilo for years as my boot loader (dual booting with xp)
so i took the chance and installed 11.2 with lilo. didn't work; so i went back and installed graphical grub; didn't work either; then installed the system again but with the option "use trusted grub" (which is a text-only boot loader) which worked like a charm on my system.
the thing is, that my system overall boots quickly, except in the part when it starts detecting the hard-disk; which takes 4 minutes detecting the disk and partitions. when it "fails" detecting or doing something with the disk, it continues to boot rapidly then.
My system specs:
- opensuse 11.2 & xp
- default kernel 2.6.31.5-.0.1 using gnome desktop 2.28
- amd athlon 64 x2 dual core processor
- 2.5Gb Ram

I have a desktop PC with an Intel 3.2 Ghz Pentium 4 CPU. 1.5 Gb of RAM, and 2 - 200 Gb Seagate HDD (1 is Windows XP only, the other is NTFS and Ubuntu partitions). It is a dual boot system using GRUB, with Windows XP the first item on the menu.lst file, and the latest Ubuntu 9.10 kernel and previous kernels the following items.
My problems are twofold since I upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 to 9.10 of Ubuntu. First extremely slow boot to Ubuntu (multiple minutes to get to the login screen and then almost the same after login). Over all it may take up to 5 minute to get to a usable Ubuntu running. Once I'm in to Ubuntu, things seem to be okay.
Second problem is when I reboot with the "restart" from the panel, the only way I can reboot to either Ubuntu or Windows XP is to physically turn off the power switch on the back of the computer. If I don't do this the machine never restarts it just tries to start and doesn't ever get to grub start up. After powering off, and then back on the normal reboot, with grub starting and giving the menu.lst options works fine.
When booting a fresh install of Karmic 9.10 grub grumbles quite a bit. I do have 2 600gb sata drives with various partitions but never have the older grubs taken a solid 15 seconds to sort out the drives before launching.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've had Ubuntu for about 8 months now, and haven't really had any serious problems with it, or problems I couldn't find a solution for. This one is kind of weird and is really driving me crazy.There were two Seagate Barracuda's in my computer, and I added a third a couple days ago. At first, I was getting a grub 22 error, because they were in the wrong sata socket order, but now they're all in the order they were before, save for the third which is in SATA port 3. After the GRUB2 display, I receive a blinking cursor on a black screen. I can type whatever I want into it and nothing happens, and if I wait a few minutes it will eventually show a graphical login screen, then displays an exception and then boots to the graphical plymouth screen. Here's a section from my kern.log that shows the bit the login screen displays as well as the rest of the errors.

my laptop's boot speed has been tremendously dropped (approximately from 30 secs to 3-4 minutes) after I've upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04.What do you recommend me to check in order to get back my lost time?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have two versions of Natty that I'm running on my EeePC 900. Both are clean installs. As they're both installed on removable flash drives, I expect a certain degree of sluggishness. One installation is the full version with Unity. It boots in about 25 seconds or so, which is slower than Lucid on the same machine, but not too bad.
The other installation was a command-line install with Openbox and GDM for logging in. You'd think this would be quicker, but it's taking a full minute to boot. When it gets to the GDM login screen, I can't see the mouse pointer. If I move the mouse into the lower right-hand corner, I can see the invisible pointer hover over the shutdown button and then I can select it. Alternatively, if I press return (to select my login) and then move the mouse vigorously, a pointer will eventually appear, but it's a large X and not the standard pointer.
