Playing with Prelink

[AndrzejL]

All 4 machines have been "prelinked" now... two of them are running KDE and two LXDE on top of KDE.

They all seem snappier. They all seem bit more responsive.

Specs in the signature.

@ Hootiegibbon ... I will pm You with a reply!

Thanks Tex.

Just when you think... It can't get any faster.... It does! 

This has definitely snappied up my machine, wot!

For example, I have gkrellm and krusader both set to start automatically at login.
Before prelink, krusader would show up and a few seconds later gkrellm started.

Now, they *both* startup and the same time, and much sooner as well.

Everything seems to start up quicker.

Just super!

Thanks Tex,
thought  I'd give it a try.  some apps seem to run a bit faster other really can't tell.  so seems a bit snappier but no real proof.

Thanks, Tex!

Working much faster with:
the latest e17->ISO [I don't like cocktails ]
eeepc 900+2x desktop pc
2.6.33.5

How do you enable prelink with the non-KDE4 desktops?

FF - small increase
TB - better response
Dolphin and Konqueror - huge increase
job well done, thanks.

And that /usr/sbin/prelink -avmR  stuff must be performed after every bigger update of the system?

I'm obviously not an advanced user, as I failed at step 1.

Which repo section is it in and what is the package called?

[uncleV]

I found it searching by "prelink" and this is the exact app's name here.

Thats a good question.

Oh, I see - it's brand new in the repo and I didn't reload!

Definitely not an advanced user!

There, there, child. Keep reading the forum, and as time goes by, you'll be able to play with the big boys.

It is set to run through a cronjob.

I did find a bug with prelink and dropbox. I had to re-install dropbox from synaptic then edit /etc/prelink.conf and blacklist the -b /usr/lib/dropbox-dist folder.

I never did that and my dropbox works fine and is started from the ~/.config/autostart straight after boot?
