Ubuntu Installation :: GDM Taking Long Time To Come Up After Updates?
Mar 26, 2010I have just made a clean install of Ubuntu 9.10 and after installing all updates, GDM is taking a long time (about one minute) to come up after a clean boot, resulting in a regular console prompt.
If I issue "sudo service gdm start" it does come up promptly.
What can I do? Where can I see startup logs to try and identify any problems?
CentOS 5 :: X/Gnome Takes Long Time To Load And Sudo Takes Long Time To Execute
Oct 13, 2009I am running Centos 5.3. I ran no updates, performed no installs, nor changed any configuration immediately prior to this issue. My problem is this: when I run the command startx (default runlevel 3), it is a long time (5-10 minutes) before Gnome startx, and once it does start applications will not run. Also, when I try to use sudo (from any environment, even ssh), it is a long time (5-10) before the command is executed.
I cannot say for sure, but it seems like this is an intermittent problem. Sometimes X takes a long time to start, but once it starts it will launch programs. Sometimes X takes a long time to launch, but once it starts it will only launch certain programs. Though presently X always takes a long time to start, and I cannot successfully launch any programs.
A while back a had a similar problem to this (x taking long time to start, sudo taking long time to execute) and it ended up being a DNS problem. Unfortunately, I cannot remember exactly what it was and I stupidly did not document it. Maybe this is also DNS related, I don't know.
I don't know what log files to look at for problems with X, Gnome, and sudo taking a long time to start.
Ubuntu :: After Log In Takes Long Time To Show Desktop, Monitor Events At Log In Time?
May 24, 2011It takes me a while to log in the splash screen just sits there for ages before i get to the desktop. Never used to be this slow and I'm not sure why. Firstly, I'm running Ubuntu 11.04, standard DE. I do have conky starting up in a script but it has the & at the end of the line so I didn't think this would cause it (or is there some special case for log in time on how & is treated?). However as a test I will comment out the line in the script and see if it is the cause.
However just for general knowledge and in case that isn't the problem, how does one go seeing what is happening during the time from when one log's in and the desktop is displayed? Is there some kind of log that shows the date/time that can be enabled or is there a debug mode that can be enabled somehow via special keys or maybe from grub?
Fedora :: 11 Boot Time / System Hangs For A Very Long Time On Starting Udev?

View 7 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: Get Notices That There Are Updates For The Server Software From Time To Time?
Mar 29, 2010I have several file servers in our offices and I am relatively new to Ubuntu / Linux. I get notices that there are updates for the server software from time to time. Is it typical to update everything when available or should I follow "If it ain't broke, don't fix it..." mentality?I would hate for everything to be working fine and then have an update throw me a curve.

Jan 29, 2010I have been using Karmic as a tool to extract important data from Windows Operating Systems where say viruses have necessitated a complete reinstall. I run the Karmic install disk and use the 'try before installing'option. It works well and I am able to 'rescue' anything I want by saving to a USB drive.Problem is that Karmic does take a relatively long time to load on a 'slow' PC.Does anyone have any suggestions on a 'slimmed down' Ubuntu that could be used in the same way which will load up quickly ?In most circumstances all I want to do is mount the C Drive of the stuffed PC and copy files to an external USB drive.

May 21, 2010My PC is a Core2Duo7400/4gbRAM/9600GT. I install Enlightenment e17 on Ubuntu 10.04. It works perfect and runs very fast, but I have a little problem. When I open any browser (Firefox, Chrome, Opera) and a right would click -> save image takes a long time to open the box. I've noticed that happens only once, at first. if I open nautilus, it is the same, it takes quite at first, but only once. I think it is being loaded "some" of gnome and I want to load on boot.

Ubuntu :: BZ2 Compression Surely Taking Long Time
Dec 8, 2010I compressed a directory containing many image files. The directory amounted to 5.3gig. Compressed with TAR using .tgz the compression took a couple minutes at most and compressed down to 4.3 gig. Compressed using .bz2 the compression took about 90 minutes and compressed down to 4.2 gig. Hardly worth the extra time. Do these numbers look normal to you?
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Taking A Long Time To Start Up Programs?
Jan 3, 2011I don't know if it is just me but it seems like Ubuntu takes a long time to start up programs. For example, it takes me 10 seconds to start up "Ubuntu software center". My computer is a relatively fast one. It has 4 gb of ram and an intel core duo processor. I didn't install that many programs. Does anyone know what might be the source of the problem and how to fix it?

May 11, 2011After upgrading to a 64-bit Ubuntu 11.04, I have found that it takes a lot longer to open any browsers such as Firefox, Google Chrome or Opera. Does anyone know why? I thought 64 bit Ubuntu should be faster than the 32 bit version. Nevertheless, I see no difference besides the browser problem mentioned above.

Jan 8, 2010I have an unreasonably long time to wait from log in, to when my desktop is ready, it takes 40 seconds from hitting enter to seeing my files on the desktop, and about another 15 seconds from then to hearing the opening jingle. It used not to be this way, before it took less than 10 seconds, but about 4 days ago this time shot up suddenly, is there some way to diagnose whats causing this delay?
View 7 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: Running Remote Programs For A Long Time?
Mar 14, 2010I suspect this has been posted before, but I'm new enough to the OS to lack the proper vocab for a proper search.
In any case, I'm basically trying to run programs remotely at work (from home) that will run for a long time. I first ssh into the appropriate network, then ssh into the individual machine. This works great and I can run programs no problem. The issue is that these programs can run for days or weeks, and the network kicks me out after some period of time due to inactivity.
Is there a way to start a program on a remote machine then terminate the connection but have it keep running?
Ubuntu :: File Properties Takes A Long Time To Open
May 6, 2010I have a newly installed Kubuntu 10.04 running here, works fine except for one thing.
I have a kind of "fileserver" and it has a samba share that I have mounted in the home folder of my desktop computer ("/home/xxx/fileserver", the server is running an older version of Ubuntu, can't exactly remember what it is but the filesystem is ext2, if that's of any importance).
I have large files on the server, mostly video. When I use Dolphin (or Konqueror, doesn't make any difference) and right click one of these large files and choose Properties, it takes a LONG time to load the properties window. As if it copies the file to local hd before opening properties, or something.
The reason why I posted here and not in the networking section is, that I had the exact same setup with my previous installation which was Kubuntu 8.04, and also at least three different Ubuntu's before that. Never had this problem before, so I think my server and networking thingies are okay.
Ubuntu :: Firefox Takes Long Time When There Is No Internet Almost 2min

I think FF is looking for the connection. How can I make FF ignores this check.
I need this because sometime I am away from my networks and I need FF for local testing for web development.

Ubuntu Installation :: Initial Install Seems To Hang For Very Long Time
Nov 19, 2010I'm attempting to install Kubuntu on a new laptop but seem to be having some strange issues. It's a Dell Latitude E5410 with 160GB HDD, 2GB RAM and Intel Core i5-520M(2.4GHz). I'm trying to install Kubuntu 10.10. When I restart the machine and boot from the CD for an initial install it seems to hang for a VERY long time. It will eventually get to the boot options (after hours) but seems sluggish. Once the install gets going everything seems decent except for that I can't seem to get it to finish. I know the CD is good since I used it to get Kubuntu on 2 desktops and another laptop in the last 48 hours. I've also burned another CD just to make sure. The checksum was spot on. Does anyone know what I can do to get this remedied?
View 1 Replies View RelatedFedora :: Plasma Hangs For A Long Time?
Aug 21, 2009The desktop stops working, the panel stops working.. but compositing, desktop cube etc all work fine.I can still launch a program with Alt-F2.When I try and kill it (to restart) using 'killall plasma' / 'kill -9 <pid> / 'kill -15 pid' from a terminal, nothing happens, the process keeps running. If I leave it for about 30 mins it suddenly dies, allowing me to run 'plasma' from a terminal - then everything is back to normal.
If I log out and try to log back in again, I get a black screen. Only way to fix it is either to kill it and wait for 30 mins or so, or totally reboot the computer.Tail of the xsessions error file:

Fedora :: Shutdown Time Unusually Long?
Jul 7, 2011I am using Fedora 15 KDE 32-bit. I am facing a problem while shutdown. It takes unusually long to shut down. It reaches the blue screen with the fedora logo within a few seconds, but it stays on the blue logo screen for 2-3 minutes before shutting down. However, I am facing no problems during startup.
About suspending F15 KDE. It goes into suspend successfully but after switching on after suspend, it just shows an unresponsive black screen.
Is anyone else facing the same problem and has it been solved before? Because I haven't come across many posts regarding F15 KDE.
General :: Vim Takes Long Time To Start ?
Feb 23, 2010I'm having trouble with Vim in any terminal emulator I use. I have a link (vi) to vim. Occasionally it will take very long to load, whether I use 'vi' or 'vi file'. Before, if I could I would restart X, and then it would load instantly again, but I waited this time and it did load, after a minute or so. Is this a problem with X or vim?

Now after I reboot the Fedora14 during startup, it takes very very long time to start up the mdmonitor service.
After that when I log on using a local account in the Fedora14 machine, it takes painfully long time to log on. And it does not identify the domain user.
I can able to log on to the ldap server through ssh from the Fedora machine.
I issued the command 'getent passwd' which does not fetch the domain users either. I am completely lost now.
Ubuntu Installation :: What Is Making Long Black Screen Or How To Reduce Time
Jun 11, 2010I keep hearing about how Ubuntu is supposed to be so much faster than Windows 7, but have yet to see any major difference in their boot times. I am dual-booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 on an intel Centrino 2 processor with 4Gb of ram and both OS's take about the same time to boot. After I get to the bootmanager to select OS, if I click on Windows 7 it almost immediately goes to the GUI load screen with the windows logo. On the other hand, if I boot into Ubuntu I get a black screen for ~30 seconds before the Ubuntu logo even appears. Comparing GUI boot times, Ubuntu is clearly the winner, but they take the same time total.
Does anyone know what is making the long black screen or how to reduce the time? I would really like to show people how fast Ubuntu really boots.Immediatly before Ubuntu Gui starts, an message shows up for a second saying something like "Unknown adaptor version (2): You may experience some problems", it flies past so quickly that may not be verbatim.
Ubuntu :: Basic Graphic Actions Taking Long Occurrence Time
Jul 8, 2010It takes an exceptionally long time for basic graphic actions to occur like switching tabs in Firefox, redrawing windows that have been (un)maximized/minimized, and switching between windows. My video card is not a bad one, a GeForce 9500 GT and Windows handles it just fine. I'm using the current NVIDIA drivers 265.35. It seems like if I can't get some better response time I'll be using Windows much more.

Sep 21, 2010I'm trying to fix a friends EeePC notebook (Asus) running a recently upgraded Ubuntu 10.04 from Karmic Koala. She used the update manager for the upgrade to 10.04 LTS and everything was fine until she had tried to install something from the Ubuntu Software Center (she doesn't remember what happened). After that, both Update manager and Synaptic stopped working.Update manager gives the following error:Quote:Software index is broken. ... Try to use synaptic for something?!...
Then Synaptic manager gives the following error:Quote:E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
