Tips required to speed up boot times

Postby catowner » Mar 5th, '13, 15:18

I have Mageia 2 with KDE 4.8.5 on a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop with 1GB of RAM and 80GB HDD. Since installing Mageia I have noticed that the time it takes to boot up and shut down is quite slow.

Is there anything I can remove which will increase boot up times on this laptop?

How did you get the Intel wifi driver installed?

Quite slow compared to what, do you also have any absolute number (in seconds/minutes) ?

Please take a look at viewtopic.php?p=26448#p26448 and also maybe viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4181 and attach that .svg here.

Also, is that a fresh installation, or did you keep an old /home? Any KDE configuration adjustments so far?

Please do not cross-post, that is disregarded. You already have your own thread: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4489

What are the steps I have to follow to make Mageia boot faster? What are the optimizations possible in Mageia?

Boot faster than what? What's the absolute boot time now, which Mageia version are you using, what hardware do you run, which desktop environment, how did you install (using what medium).

At least some basic details, please. For a start, also look at my initial answer in this thread. And next time please take a look,
if this is not already discussed in an existing thread. The one which i merged it into was just started yesterday!

EDIT: merged with existing thread about the same topic.

I think it is appropriate to remind of this post:
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2731

It is a sure way to avoid grumpy gurus :D So install inxi and show the output of inxi -Fz or follow some of the other directions.
Even if the gurus are magic; they skipped class in magic school the day they had mind-reading. (I believe there was this football game...) :mrgreen:
Image Flexibility is good and inxi is good... install both!
