Ubuntu Installation :: Ten Minute Start Up?
May 1, 2011
I just updated to Natty yesterday and I went straight into burg no problem, but from that point Ubuntu takes anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes to boot. I literally have to leave the room and go do other things while waiting. So, today I did a complete fresh install and it is on ssd with plenty of space, go straight to grub no problems. Windows 7 will boot at its normal speed, but Ubuntu just sits with a purple screen for anywhere to 5-10 minutes after grub menu. I have reinstalled two more times and still same issue, holding down and tapping shift key did make it boot one time in about a minute and a half (usual time in 10.10 on my machine is about 12 seconds). I don't think it is a graphics issue but I am running an ATI card.

This just started happening recently on an older install of Linux Mint 9, 32 bit, Gnome with Compiz using a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse.
I noticed another problem about the same time and I don't know if it is related but now when I restart I get the "default keyring login" pop up message. The keyboard and mouse are unresponsive for at least 60-90 seconds after everything has opened. It only recently started to do this and is not a result of old/slower hardware.
I don't know where to start looking for a cause or what section to post this in.

I've just installed a fresh copy of 11.4 and the updates are driving me crazy. My internet connection is up, but the download stops and goes, and when I try using firefox, it takes a minute to even start to load any page. I have the system monitor up and it is telling me that the network is not receiving anything except for these bursts of data aprox. every 30 seconds.

After upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 on my dual core, 64-bit machine, my miro software has problems downloading torrents. Torrent will start slow and then, after a minute or so, it slows down and stops saying "starting up". It appears there is a bug report, bug 668615, but I've found no fix.

I am installing 10.04 on a HP pavilion. I have downloaded the ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso (live CD). When I try to boot or install from it, the screen shows the "ubuntu" with the red dots for a minute and then a black screen with no action from the hard drive or the CD drive. I think it should be asking what language I want but presing enter does nothing.I have been using Ubuntu since 2006 and after yesterday's repartition I installed 6.06 from a live CD so I know I can install from a CD.

I'm having a bit of a problem with the new Ubuntu 10.04 installed on my Windows 7 based machine via Wubi. I see the error message "Try hd(0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr" on my screen for around two minutes, then "Try hd(0,1)" shows on the next line briefly, then Grub loads and I can boot normally. All the time the error message is on the screen there is lots of hard drive activity. Is there anything I can do to fix this delay in my booting up sequence?

I recently upgraded to 10.04 but also changed around some drives and it is now taking nearly 10 minutes to boot.The drive changes were the removal of one SATA drive used for storage and the addition of a two drive RAID1 set via the onboard ICH10R SATA controller that is used for storage. I then used DMRAID to initialize the raid set in Ubunutu. All of the operating system is still located on the primary IDE drive.Here are two versions of my bootchart:I turned off quiet mode hoping to see an error during bootup to search for but here is what I see prior to the system pausing for 5+ minutes:
Code:
[ 18.781348] kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds.
[ 18.781367] ext3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
[code]....

Why is my computer taking around a minute to boot? 10.04 for me is slower at booting than 8.04 is. 10.04 is taking about 10 seconds to get to the login screen, then almost a minute after that before it gets to a fully loaded desktop.

I love VLC Media player, it works great, exept for this one thing. the first minute repeats for all videos that are a minute long (guesstimate time) If I skip the part after that its fine but it is really annoying.

I have recently installed Ubutnu 9.10 on a laptop machine for my girlfriend, and she uses an HP 6300 series all-in-one printer. While things are generally good, the printer randomly delays output for long periods, often as much as ten minutes of delay. The delays might occur at any point during the output, that is, printing will often start, but then hang part way through a page. Sometimes, the delay is sol long (more than ten minutes) that the printer seems to timeout, form feeds the page, and abandons the output. Mostly, however, great patience results in output resuming after the many minutes delay and the page will complete. For multi-page outputs, the delay might occur more than once during the total output, and sometimes you get lucky and the whole thing comes out in a single shot.
my girlfriend is eying up the windows xp install disks and expressing socially unacceptable desires

I have an issue with crontab that I can't resolve even though I searched the web like crazy. I tried to create a new cron job for taking a screenshot automatically every minute with scrot using "crontab -e" like so...
Code:
* * * * * /usr/bin/scrot ~/screenshots/screen\%G-\%T.png > ~/log.txt
when I run it in my shell it does work fine and it seems to run with cron also because the log.txt file is modified every minute, however when I run it through cron the screenshots don't appear in the screenshots directory and nowhere else either.
Other jobs in the same crontab run very well. It doesn't seem to be a PATH issue because the paths are complete.

i glad i switched, but still have lots to learn. Any who, currently i am working on a server for some residents at my current job. I have DNS and everything setup right and it is working. Samba on the other hand is configured right but it keeps shutting down after about a minute. When i run this command:
chksmb status
it says "Dead". Ill restart the service(rcsmb start), and keep checking the status, and after about a minute it shuts down again. I have done a restart, double checked my configurations and still cant find why this is happening. (config file somewhere?)

I have about 50GB of .MOD video files that I need to compress to a smaller format. The only problem is that there are many files (30 second to 5 minute clips) spread out across several directories. I was wondering if anyone knew of a tool that will recursively search the directories and batch convert all of the files? I'm open to anything including a good script for mencoder or ffmpeg.

On 10.04 64-bit, I've been noticing this weird error where totem comes to a halt after ~3/4 of playback in a 30-45 minute video, then it starts to play back again after about 10 seconds but it's a bit choppier. What could be causing this or how I can track down the issue? I'm running a nVidia GTX 275 with nividia-current drivers (195.36.24) if that helps diagnose anything.

I am setting crontab to run a script every minute irrespective of the current hour's value:
Code:
[root@localhost bin]# ls
sec.php showTime.sh
[root@localhost bin]# crontab -l
1 * * * * /root/bin/showTime.sh
[root@localhost bin]#
But it is not working. Does the line mean: "Run this script every day at hour:01"?

my problem is that an application which I want to start at the startup is creating some problems if it is started at the startup. But if it is started after a few seconds or say a minute of the startup, it doesn't cause any trouble.

I've recently started coding in bash and I'm making a diagnostic check CD for rackmounted computers to print out to an LCD screen. So far it works but what i want it to do is, when it checks what ethernet ports are unplugged, it stays there for 30 minutes or so and proceeds through the script. I've looked up cron and that seems to be useful for making timers on permanent systems but I just want the cd to boot, do the check and then eject it and let the real OS take over and I've also tried using:
while [ `sleep 30m` ];
do
<script>
with no luck. Is there any command I can use to do this? I've noticed a few examples where people have captured the time and then used a while less than/greater than statement but I'm not sure how to do this. Is it possible to do a concept like:
while [ %current time -lt %current time+30 min ];
do
<script>

I have x11vnc server set up on my desktop PC. I can boot the computer and connect at the login screen if I want to. I can login to my computer as usual. But after about 1 minute of logging in, the computer logs off as if pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and returns me to the login screen. This cycle repeats when I login and I have to kill the x11vnc process or remove the command from /etc/gdm/Init/Default.Have tried so many things now but the end result is the same. I have Ubuntu 10.10 fully updated and x11vnc 9.10-1 from the default repos. I am using the following command in the /etc/gdm/Init/Default file:
Code:
/usr/bin/x11vnc -rfbauth ~/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5901 -display :0 -forever -bg
I don't think it matters now whether I add KillInitClients=false into /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom or /etc/gdm/gdm.conf because of the x11vnc version I have. The manual says its not really needed. But I have tried this too with no better luck.The computer will still log me out after about a minute of logging in. It can be between 1 min to 1.5 mins.Running out of ideas and have tried the -noxfixes and -reopen commands.
Why does x11vnc crash out (or it may be gdm or x server?) after about a minute of logging in? If I am currently viewing my desktop through VNC viewer on another computer, it will still crash out after 1 min of log in, and lose the connection. I can reconnect through VNC again but I have to log back in to the remote computer and it will just log out after another minute.At last, in 2 days I have finally solved it. As simple as creating my own version. The x11vnc 9.10-1 version my default Ubuntu 10.10 repos is buggy. Here's my fix (I used this site):
1. Downloaded latest x11vnc dev build from above site (x11vnc-0.9.13-dev.tar.gz at time of posting)
2. Extract it
3. Open Terminal > sudo -s > enter admin password
4. cd LocationOfExtracted folder
[code]...

This sux cause im new to ubuntu and it was working great on my laptop but after a recent update the wireless (wifi) connection just dies after 1 minute. The connection is still active, the icon shows full signal, nothing seems wrong at all, but there is no internet communication at all.

I just installed linux mint a couple of days ago and everything went great but now the grub screen takes about 20 seconds to a minute to load. It's not a huge issue but kind of annoying since the one that ubuntu installed took a second and I was at the menu. I imagine that it has to do with the background picture but i'm not sure if that would slow it down that much.

Anybody 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.
I went from about a 30 second total boot to almost a minute to the login screen
