1 min booting. It is normal?
« on: September 13, 2011, 05:41:30 AM »
Hi friends,

I am testing PclinuxOs LXDE on my laptod Acer Aspire One D250 Kav60, 1Gb Ram - 1,6Ghz, (is the only OS) and I like, every thing is working and I could install the gnome power preferences at autostart too, is fantastic.

But... I have to wait 1 min until start working. The Grub is only 5 sec, and I is autologin. 50'' untill start netapplet and 10'' more o less for connect. I haven't installed any new software.

1 min is normal for booting PClinuxOS LXDE?

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Counting from boot menu to desktop ready for use - 38 seconds here, LXDE, 1.3 GHz Duron, 512+256 MB RAM.

That could depend not on the OS but on your provider. :-\
Still 50 seconds seems much to me.

If you hit Esc after the boot menu you will be able to see the system booting messages on the screen and check if there is a delay on some stage.

Aleph,
You're using a D250 Atom CPU - don't expect too much from it!

THEN and THAN usage..
Use than to make a comparison. Use then when referring to time.

Are you getting any messages during the boot sequence indicating a delay (or pausing for a while)?  Try pressing the ESC key when you first boot, to get rid of the boot splash, and see these messages.

Hi friends!

thanks.

I pressed ESC during booting and I could read "VGA conflict, removing" (or something similar, was very fast...)

Netapplet first look for the wired connection and after for the wireless one.

My older laptod (512 Mb ram) start in 37'', (wifi connected) running Crunchbang, but the wifi doesn't work in my Acer Netbook with Crunchbang :(

I don't mean to sound dismissive .....  but is the 20 secs of any real importance?

Is it also slow to recover from a suspend?

Just18, 20'' is a lot... jaja  :D

The recover is very fast, I did now, with the chronometer in my hand :) but I had to wait 24'' until the wifi connection started after recover. In my old laptod 3-4'' is normal for connect.

I think Netapplet is very slow....

I see Netapplet is the last aplication in appear. Can I change the order in autostart for netapplet start working before? Could be a solution?
