Whenever I start a text editor, such as kate, kwrite, gedit, it takes at least 10 seconds to start up.This on a PC with 4 cores and 3GB RAM.I know that these text editors should start up much faster, like, I click the launch icon and it should already by there.But instead it's 10 seconds waiting and then the editor is there. Why, what's it doing during those 10 seconds, and most important, how can I fix this?
View 3 RepliesI've tried Linux video editors like Kdenlive and OpenShot, but their text editors for adding text are funky and not very user-friendly.Do any Linux video editors have and easy text editor like MS MovieMaker has?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI did a clean install of Ubuntu 11.04 64bit and the start up time is abnormally slow. If I start up the computer and don't press anything, the start up time is 30 minutes but it usually doesn't start up at all. It just boots into a purple screen, no splash, then it sits there and the computer doesn't have any loading lights flashing.
I had a similar problem with 10.10, but I assumed it would go away when I did a clean install of 11.04.
I can't get a read out of what's going wrong because when I press Esc it doesn't display anything, though weirdly it can sometimes get the start up process moving. I have also found that pressing enter really fast can sometimes help and something that seems completely oxymoronic, if I press the power button while it's starting up that can make it work, but nothing works every time.
I'd like to write a script that invokes a gnome-terminal session which slowly reads out text like the phosphor screensaver (could be anything, a log file, ascii art, song lyrics, whatev) and then closes. I can invoke a terminal using [gnome-terminal -e 'cat /var/log/dmesg'] but the output flies pass by too quickly.any way to slow it down? I know it seems like an odd request but if anyone has a suggestion I'd love to hear it.

Any way to speed this up? I've already tried disabling my nonexistent floppy drive in the bios, but it didn't help.
I want to use linux instead of windows to create my videos, but all the video editors are so unstable that they are not possible to use at all.At first I Thought it was my hardware or something but I tried on my laptop as well. They all crash randomly every time I try to do stuff.I have tried OpenShot, VLMC, Pitivi, OpenMovieEditor, Avidemux, Kino, LiVES, Cinelerra and Kdenlive.How come I never have problems like this in windows?I know Linux sometimes sucks when it comes to brand new hardware, but seriously though. All the video editors are crashy.

I would like to ask you for a few editors that you use for writing c. Probably i would prefer a gui environment rathen than using vi or emacs. Moreover I would be grateful if you could provide me some gui debuggers to start debugging my programmes.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu Gnome fresh yesterday. I quickly decided Unity wasn't to my taste, especially when I seemed to hose it by trying to customize my compiz settings with ccsm (don't mess with compiz if you use Unity in any way). Anywho, I retreated to standard Gnome and also installed KDE. Mostly OK, but I noticed neither of the menu editors are working properly. When I install an application from the repositories it creates a proper menu entry, but when I install a Wine application nothing appears in the menu. Attempting to edit, add, or delete menu entries with the Gnome menu editor doesn't work. Hitting the New or Properties buttons produces no effect. Using the KDE menu editor from the Classic (non-slab) menu is likewise unsatisfactory. I can add or modify entries and apparently save them but nothing appears in the menu and when I re-open the menu editor my entries are not there. I can manually create application shortcuts on the desktop or on the Gnome panel, but I can't add those to the KDE Quick Launch bar in the panel (I think that's what its called, I'm in Gnome now).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have had an extremely slow startup (upwards of a few minutes) for awhile now, and nothing seems to work to fix it. Regular boot time is far slower than it should be, and the time of logging in to a workable desktop is just really bad. I will log in, and then I will either get a blank desktop screen for awhile or an all black screen until the desktop will fully load with errors from gnome-panel and AWN not starting up automatically.Some of the fixes I have tried:
Disabling floppy from bios
Downgrading gnome keyring
Removing gnome* and gconf* from the home directory
Putting this script in /etc/init.d
#!/bin/sh
echo "nameserver 0.0.0.0" > /etc/resolv.conf

Also which editor do you prefer for ease of use/features/stability etc.?
Since upgrading from Heron to Lynx (64 bit) Gnome is slow to start. It seems like it is waiting for some sort of automated timeout, since the harddrive stops in the middle of Gnome startup (after login) for around 10 secs or so. Is there a logfile of the startup-sequence somewhere that I could look at and/or post here?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI switched to Ubuntu from Windows a few months ago and have had it all working fine since.
I turned on my system today and did some updates, then restarted but after the boot selection screen which I cant use as I have a USB keyboard the screen went to that purple/pink colour and froze for ages. Eventually my desktop appeared so I tried restarting it again and the same thing happened. Before from the boot selection to my desktop would only take 5 seconds or so but now it takes about 3 minutes.
Also since the updates I can't connect to my wireless network. I was using the Windows Wireless Networks software from the Ubuntu Software Centre, now when I try opening it manually it just hangs. I tried removing it and reinstalling it but still no joy.
I may have been too trusting with the updates so didn't read the list, I just updated and restarted and thats when the problems started.
I'm not quite sure what information you need but here are the bits from the System Monitor:
Release 11.04(natty)
Kernel Linux 2.6.38-8-generic
GNOME 2.32.1
On windows I would have considered myself an intermediate user but since switching to Ubuntu I feel like a beginner again although im learning fast.

I have a Dell Vostro 200. Have been running Ubuntu on it for 18 months - no probs. Recently it became very slow to boot. 5-10 minutes before Ubuntu startup screen appears. Have installed Ubuntu 10.10 (on a reformatted hard drive) today. No change. It's fairly certain to be a hardware problem but I don't know where to start.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been using Opera 10.11 on two different computer systems, two different locations (work & home), and two different Slackware versions (13 & 13.1 current). Opera 10.11 runs very quickly on both. After upgrading to Opera 10.60, I now find that linking to new web pages takes 5 to 10 seconds, but returning to a previous page is almost instantaneous.
I've tried installing 10.60 using slackbuilds and Opera's installer - both give the same results. I've since reverted to Opera 10.11. why it is so slow to open web pages? Opera 10.60 for Win7 works great, so what happened to the Linux version?

View 3 Replies View RelatedThe nfs-client service isn't starting after boot up. This is causing problems with the user as they cannot access the remote folders on the server. The PC is a Thinkpad X60s with oS11.3 and KDE4.4.4. The problem started about a week ago after some updates (new kernel update, kde4 updates and some system files) were applied on the laptop.
After logging in none of the remote folders are available. Checking the nfs-client service under Yast>System Services (Runlevel) shows the nfs-client service is not running. If I enable and start the service I get the pop-up confirming the service has started but still cannot access the remote folders even after issuing a mount -a. Opening Dolphin just opens a blank grey window which needs to be terminated.
Trying to restart the nfs service using su -c 'rcnfs restart' sticks at Starting NFS client services: sm-notify Just leaving the PC for 10-15mins eventually sorts itself out and the remote folders become visible. I cannot see anything obvious in the logs so am a bit stumped.
I changed the host name on this CentOS 5.5 machine but whenever I reboot the machine the startup pauses at the point of starting sendmail for several minutes and then eventually moves on. What could be causing this?
